Another small block turbo early valiant
Ok guys it’s been quite some time, I’ve been getting a little work done on the valiant. I pulled the passenger side head to find a bad head gasket and a couple pistons that didn’t like all the detonation. ♂️ I put a different gasket on it and back together just enough to drive it on and off a trailer for our move out of state. We barely got all our boxes put away and started pulling the engine out. Had a couple plans to get it back together on a budget and beat on it without concern but they didn’t work out. At this point I’ve started a new engine build with a Molner stroker crank and custom pistons, finally got the pistons Friday so I can drop it all off at the machine shop for them to get going on the engine. I hope to have it back together to enjoy a little before the weather hits here.
