I need a big bore (3.505") head gasket to use as a guide to counterbore the combustion chambers for piston clearance. So far the only source I can find are from Aussiespeed & they are $90 a pop! & that doesn't include shipping!

I found this one a few years back in a snow drift near the Canadian border in New York. Orignal paint, survivor car. Originally a California car (e-bay) that took a detour through Houston Texas. Before being driven to northern New York state. Here's a...

Since Mopar 6 cyl & 8 cyl bell housings are different, did they ever mate up a \6 W/the 4 speed 904? It looks like I might be running 4.30 or 4.56 gears on 26" rubber so an overdrive would be handy for drivability.

I'm talking about drum to drum. What's the best way to do this. I know that big junkyards use motorfreight & I have a speed shop that would accept the shipment locally. Has anyone shipped motorfreight & if so how do you go about contacting them?

I tried to talk to someone today @ Oregon Cam Grinders about using 1" lifters & a more aggressive cam lobe profile for my \6. The guy I talked to knew nothing about the concept. If anyone knows who the \6 guru is over there please let me know. The cam profiles he was quoting wre pretty...

I have a lead on two 8 3/4" pumpkins locally. One is a 3.90, the other is a 4.30 I want this for my '65 Valiant that will be running on a 10:1 CR quenched N/A \6 240 cu in stroker engine that will also have a 125 shot of giggle juice for fun & games. The combo will be primarily a N/A...

I'm doing a "B" body 8 3/4 swap into my '65 vailant on a really nice '69 (bare) "B" body housing I found locally.. I need everything else, but I do have lines on the brake assemblies & a 3.90 SG pumpkin. What I really need is a pair of axles preferably W/the flanges & end play adjuster...

I just scored a bare '69 "B" housing for $40. Now comes the hard part. After moving the perch location inward 1/2" a side, I have to find brakes, axles & a center section. Right now my biggest concern is finding all the proper brake parts. Everything else is relatively simple from a...

If I run 89mm 2.2L Turbo pistons W/-18cc voluume on 7.005" Molnar rods, reduce the head deck by .110", have the combustion chamber perimeter cut to allow the piston crown to enter the chamber & run the pistons at +.070" positive deck W/a .035" head gasket, I can achieve .055" quench height...

That would be a killer combo. 4.55 FDR in 3rd W/a 3.23 axle ratio. (3,58:1 1st, 2.19:1 2nd, 1.41:1 3rd) Here's what that combo can do W/a 4300# pig in a moderate N/A combo. (26 MPG hi-way) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-Sbz2Etl_A&feature=youtu.be You could easily run low 10s in...

Everyone is saying how rare the 8 4/4" ousings are getting to be. I live in a very rural area. Nearest medium sized city is 2 hiyrs drive. (Watertown to the west, Plattburg to the east) Not a lot of old Mopar "B" bodies or the like around, but lots of pickup trucks in barnyards, etc. I...

Is it feasible to run high 12s W/a natuaraly aspirated slant 6? Not talking trailer queen here, but something that could be driven on the street. 10:1 CR 245, 4 barrlel, headers ported heads, drag radials, skinnies, good stal in the convertor, correct gearing, 2600# car. Not looking to...

I'm an old fart getting back into this after many years. I re-poed my son's '65 valiant after he decided he didn't want to make payments on the truck that I co-signed for. The Valiant was colateral. Anyway, up until a couple of years ago I was one of the pioneering gearheads modding the...

I need to replace the master cylinder on my '65 Valiant & thought that it would be a good time to convert to dual diagonal braking W/front discs. I would rather use OEM parts to simplify future servicing. What would be involved as far as part & adaptors? I eventually want...

Met Some Great People @ the Mopars @ E'town Event I didn't get to meet very many people @ the track due to my "detructive testing" results of the new aftermarket LX axles on my 2nd pass. The N/A 460 ft # RWTQ of my 5.7 Hemi coupled W/a 100 HP shot triggerd by a window switch just as the...

Not an "A" body, but I was able to run a 12.193 @ 112.27 MPH in Mom's 2006 Daytona. 5.7 N/A all motor @ 4150# race weight. The cam supports MDS too.(multiple displacement system) I have Josh convinced that a junkyard 5.7 Hemi has a lot more potential @ a budget than an LA block in his "65"...

I can't find the appropriate steel/threaded 90* PCV valve or a proper breather cap for my son's "65" Valiant. It has a 225 /6. It blows oil out of the breather cap @ maderate hi-way speeds.(there is hardly any fiber wool left in it). The engine runs smooth W/lots of power. The plugs look...

My son & I are doing a spruce up of the slant 6 & want to remove the crank pulley to claen up 42 years of grime & then paint the front of the engine. There doesn't appear to be a crank bolt. Is this true or is the hole just packed full of crap? If there is a crank bolt, what size is it...

Doesn't sound all that impressive? Well, consider that this was the 4268# "06" Charger pictured in the sig below runniing N/A w/the stock 5.7 cam! Here is a link to a detailed write up. http://www.lxforums.com/board/showthread.php?t=62075

Anyone have some pix of "65" or similar Valiant "Slant 6" engine bay that is restored to original condition? This thing is snow balling. :toothy7: We are sending some gauges out for repair & recalibration so we have time to spruce up the engine bay a bit. :thumbup:

How hard are these to find? What are the years that had these?

Which would make the best street/strip engine in a "65" Valiant W/a 904? I am leaning towards the internaly balanced 340 to make torque convertor selection easy. I don't want to change anything more than I have to. I want to use a beefed up cable shift V8 904 & an 8 3/4" rear W 4.10 gears...

Josh & I did some extensive troubleshooting on the malfunctioning temperature gauge in his "65" Valiant & the gauge looks to be faulty. Does anyone know where I can get an OEM replacement? New or used is OK as long as it is in decent shape as long as it works. Is there anyone that repairs...

The bushing for the heat riser shaft is missing @ the back of the 225 ehaust manifold causing a bad exhaust leak. Since this is a very low milage engine, (37,000 miles) the exhaust manifold is in otherwise excellent shape. The bolts that connect the intake to the exhaust manifold are even in...

Anyone have a link? Auto Body specialists doesn't list the early Valiants. I need all 4 interior door panels & the rear window tray. Also the interior molding around the door opening (not the weatherstip) & the bottom interior driver's window window molding. Once all of that is...
