66 valiant with newer slant six

Thanks man. I’ll consider that option. Trying to track down a 225. My manual 3 speed prob won’t hold up to a lot of power but would be nice to have a 2 barrel carb at least. Sounds like if I do that I’ll need to grab the v8 throttle and plate and get that bolted up. Not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

For a while, I ran an early seventies all synchro three speed with factory floor shifter. Can't remember for sure if it bolted to the original bellhousing but I think it did. It worked well, but I did later run across an early slant six cast iron four speed bellhousing and used it to swap in a four speed with 3.09 low gear. With minor suspension and engine mods, it was one of the most fun driving cars ever.
