Nice work! I would highly recommend using the Dr. Diff master cylinder adapter to move it over that 3/4” or so. I did manage to squeak a heat shield in under the MC on my valiant. Will need to add some lava mat before next race season. Also had to hack into the passenger shock tower to fit the...

669 oil pan, hammer clearanced for centerlink. Built my own Headers. Here’s my build thread, page 5 for headers 64 Valiant 440 build

It’s doable, here’s a 440 in my 64 Valiant. A low deck would give you some more room for...... everything.

I prefer the later 73+ spindles for the strength, they have more meat on them. I’m sure the early spindles hold up just fine as most of you have said. I guess the bigger bearings make me feel better, along with the large ball joint and having the easy parts availability at common stores

Nice, I have early front mustang seats in my 64 Valiant. I was gonna get TMI bolster foam and new covers for the front. Is your rear seat the original one? Did you just ask them for extra material to match? Did you have a shop do it?

When I first converted from /6 to a 318 in my 64, I used a pedal assembly, cable, and throttle bracket out of a bronco. It was $20 from a parts yard (I was a broke 19 year old). Had to make little spacers for where the pedal bracket mounts and drill bolt holes into the floor pan, but the cable...

Thanks, I went with 2” primaries into a 3” collector. I’ll post some decent pics of the underside when I get it up on the lift at work this winter. Has a full exhaust now that exits in front of the rear tire. The color is “raw steel” ceramicoating from a local place here in Portland, OR.

I don’t think I ever uploaded finished header install pics. Here’s something to get you inspired

All manual steering boxes have the same output(sector) shaft size, unless they are from a C-body or a van. The only difference in pre 67 boxes is the mounting holes are smaller than the later steering boxes. (7/16” vs 1/2”) They will interchange if you don’t mind having a slightly larger...

Thanks, there isn't much wiggle room when stuffing a 440 in an early A. You really have to build the car around the motor

You could make them yourself. I still had to modify the passenger shock tower and ditch the torsion bars to clear everything. Running factory steering linkage

Really dig this car man, the patina and ride height make it the perfect combo of vintage+modern.

What's wrong with black? Does it trap in heat?

What's the backspacing on those rims?

Hey manchalk, do you have any more detailed pics of that drivers side header situation? I have a big block early valiant and I'm building the headers soon. Could use some ideas

For Manual and Power boxes, 66 and earlier had smaller mounting holes for 7/16" bolts. 67 and later switched to 1/2" bolts, so bigger mounting holes. All manual boxes are small sector (even after 72) except for C-body and vans.

Firm Feel is now offering reproduction early V8 centerlinks. These are a brand new, heavy duty version of the hard to find original 63-66 Abody centerlink. They are built with the appropriate drop to accommodate the V8 oil pan clearance and come powder coated black. PM for info.

I'm running Viking double adjustable C203 shocks w/ bearing eyelits 9.42-12.60 9DP350 coil springs 350lb 9" springs Like Denny said, I had to grind the lower bump stop for clearance.

I work at Firm Feel and we can take the early style small sector, small mounting hole manual box with output bushings and bore it out to except our needle bearings. Give us a call if you have any questions.1-800-FIRM-426
