    Desoto hemi in 67 Valiant

    Actually it does accept the A motor timing assembly, but that's about it. The new 5.7 hemi was actually based roughly on this one so I have read somewhere. Just about done wiring. Am modifying the quarter panel to take a Barracuda flip open gas cap right now. As soon as I get that area painted I...

    Desoto hemi in 67 Valiant

    As a kid I was a Ford lover. Then my dad picked up a used 56 Desoto Firedome. It has a 330 2-bbl. One day while he was away, my buddy and I put a battery in it ( it had been sitting for several months ), and took it out on a back road blacktop. It lit up the right rear tire for quite awhile and...

    Desoto hemi in 67 Valiant

    It wasn't easy. It would have been easier to put in a 440. I had to raise the motor 1-1/2" to keep the exhaust off the steering box. Then cut off shock tower material to clear the valve cover on the passenger side. Part of the firewall on the same side had to be pushed in to make room for the...

    Desoto hemi in 67 Valiant

    I'm gonna make a mold off the original hood and make a fiberglass piece with holes for all the parts that protrude above the hood line. I could get a glass hood from AAR, but it would have to be chopped up really bad. Don't plan to hide much at all.

    Got the front end together and on the ground. I like the stance. Old school, but not too ridiculous.

    Rear end gear selection

    I am building a 67 Valiant with a turbocharged Desoto 352 hemi. It won't be raced, but will be used for a little street scrambling now and then. The car will weigh about 3000 lbs and has a 3000 stall converter. I have 3 different gear sets. 2.23-2.55, and 3.91. The 3.91 is in it now, but I'm not...
