    Am I a real person?

    I thought things were about to get real philosophical this morning. Glad it was a glitch of a different kind.

    Official 3rd Gen Hemi thread

    Timing covers, accessory layout? I don't know of anything detrimental. Just trying to see if there's any reason I overlooked not to pull from a car.

    Official 3rd Gen Hemi thread

    Is there any significant difference between 5.7 donors from cars vs trucks? I've read passing comments about pulling from trucks but only know about one or two differences in the actual structure of them.

    8.8 swap

    I'm starting with the rear end because they're so cheap and plentiful. Gonna be driving around with an 8.8 behind a 170 until I build the swap motor. Can't hurt to grab the explorer driveshaft.

    8.8 swap

    Just occurred to me I can crawl under the car with a tape. Gonna grab an 8.8 from salvage soon. Thought I remember someone saying stock drive shaft is a little short but usable. I'm imagining that means the Ford driveshaft is a little longer, and maybe I could use it to move my wheel placement...

    Anyone have any idea how the explorer driveshaft length compares to an a body/slant 6/7.25 driveshaft?

    Air Shock Question

    So I'm looking at eventually doing all the chassis/suspension goodies for my valiant. I've been fabricating for a long time and have done a lot of motorcycle work. So, I'm interested in taking the routes that cost more time and effort than money, where I can. I'll be fabricating the rear...

    Air Shock Question

    I'm new to the 4 wheel version of custom building so this is a purely hypothetical question... what are the cornering characteristics of air ride suspension systems, if properly tuned? From what I've found so far it seems like a pretty charged subject. Most of the "pro" opinions come from people...

    Free service manuals

    I'm trying to find frame dimensions for a 68 valiant. Would those be in a service manual? and would that frame have been used across years and/or models so I might not have to hunt down a 68 Valiant manual specifically? And fantastic job getting all of those manuals here to begin with! Thanks!

    [WANTED] 68 Valiant front bumper filler panel

    Correct. It is the trim piece that frames the bottom profile of the split grille.

    [WANTED] 68 Valiant front bumper filler panel

    Title says it all. Just rescued an old decrepit Plymouth and the only part she doesn't have is the filler panel/valance between the grill and the bumper. Thanks!

    Consistantly 100 degrees daily

    Just started in on a 68 valiant that had just been sitting and deteriorating since the early 80's. The whole interior is sun beaten dust. I'm working in a dirt driveway and it's 100 everyday. I sweat through a shirt just getting my tools out. The dust and dirt just sticks to me. Low 90's would...

    Hey Daniel. Sorry for the mislead there. Our internet has been out and I'm doing everything over my phone. I'm the guy with the 69 lower grill piece. I'd take $40 plus shipping for it. It's a little odd sized but I think it could safely ship in an oversized cardboard tube or something. Maybe...

    68/69 Valiant grille trim?

    The fella I bought the car from gave me every Chrysler bit he had... Vehicle appropriate or not. Had my hopes up for about an hour when I got it. Haha! The 69 filler panel is available. I'll post it in "for sale". Thanks for the response so far!

    68/69 Valiant grille trim?

    I've used the search function to no avail. I'm not even sure I have the proper name for the piece I need. It's circled in the stock photo. I have that piece from a 69 available if anyone is in need. Is there any source for stuff like this, or is anyone here holding? Thanks! EDIT: Here's the...

    Howdy all!

    The car was parked at 34k miles. The engine runs great!! Everything else has just corroded. I have fender, bumpers, and a fair amount of other bits. Just want her to see the road again ASAP. Then the goal is to upgrade systems one at a time.

    Howdy all!

    Finally got out of creeper mode and joined the forum. I've been in the process of buying this 68 Valiant from an old yard here in town. There was a lot of getting to know the owner of the property/car and then getting the car in condition to be moved. Will be bringing it home tomorrow. I've been...
