    Nice! I’ve seen a few people modify the factory k frame to clear, I guess steering would be the next hurdle.

    Another small block turbo early valiant

    Well ****, that’s exactly what I’m looking for! How’d you come across the 6.4?

    Another small block turbo early valiant

    Hopefully this is a little more clear to read. Just over $17k in this build.

    Another small block turbo early valiant

    Sooo…. Here’s an update I don’t think you’ll see coming. I know, I really didn’t either. I think I’m moving onto a gen3 hemi, I’d like to sell the whole engine/turbo setup. This will include everything as it is now complete and running from the transmission forward carb hat to oil pan. Coil...

    Thanks, now that I’ve got the rear frame modified to fit the mini tub I’ll make a trip to California and have the rear done to match.

    Oh also had some door panels made up, will end up being painted with the brushed inserts to look like the originals.

    Another small block turbo early valiant

    I suppose it’s time for a little update, been working on getting the interior cleaned up a bit. We’ve been on a few test drives, getting read for its first show in ten years. Finally got tired of the 4 speed hump, cut it out and went back with the standard floor. Things are looking much better.

    Another small block turbo early valiant

    Not a lot has changed, it runs and drives! I ditched the Fitech and am waiting on a CSU carb to get it dialed in. During the 12 week wait I have had a fellow Mopar enthusiast bring his mobile alignment setup and get the suspension all aligned, and finally deciding to do something with the...

    Oh that would be awesome! Lol I hate shipping stuff. Here’s the details on the pan, also I travel to Pasco and Wenatchee fairly often.

    Another small block turbo early valiant

    Here is it, not looking to recoup all of the costs but some of it.

    Another small block turbo early valiant

    Ok, just in time for the 3 month update. It’s still not running. Lol. I received the suspension late December, between work and holidays and my crazy schedule I’ve finally got it all together and in the car. Overall it looks great, I’m sure (hoping) it will perform just as well. There’s a few...

    Another small block turbo early valiant

    I know but I want to make sure I do it right this time. The 100 miles I got out of the last motor was fun but expensive. Lmao.
  15. V8-valiant

    Another small block turbo early valiant

    for sure! I’ve also got a Snow Performance kit to put on it and access to as high as 114 at a pump about 20 miles from me. Also gonna run it with probably a 3 lbs spring for a while. Lol

    ended up going .028 and .030 can’t imagine it going further than 18psi sometime down the road.

  18. V8-valiant

    Another small block turbo early valiant

    Well I got the short block back and have made some progress while I wait for the Gerst suspension to show up. Working on fixing a couple things sense the initial build.

    Another small block turbo early valiant

  21. V8-valiant

    Another small block turbo early valiant

    Thank you, unfortunately I bought this Fitech system probably 3 years before even starting the turbo build and by the time I got it together and wanted to try something else summit was going to charge me a restock fee so I figured I’d try it instead of loosing $500-$700 on this unit. We will see...

    Another small block turbo early valiant

    Would you recommend using the piston manufacturer gap or a little more? Do you have a suggestion on how much gap?

    Thank you Dustin, I’m in Redmond Oregon now.
  24. V8-valiant

    Another small block turbo early valiant

    Sorry I may have worded it wrong. I meant to a different state. Washington to Oregon. Not out of the states. It’s been a really good move for the business and the family is really enjoying the new area too!

    Another small block turbo early valiant

    Agreed it was definitely an expensive learning lesson, there was many things working against me and my inexperience didn’t help. It did escalate quickly on the build lol. Well I realized the crank I was running was turned and 20 under and I didn’t want to run it, so with no luck finding a...

    Another small block turbo early valiant

    Ok guys it’s been quite some time, I’ve been getting a little work done on the valiant. I pulled the passenger side head to find a bad head gasket and a couple pistons that didn’t like all the detonation. ‍♂️ I put a different gasket on it and back together just enough to drive it on and off a...

    Ebay GT45 + 5.9 Magnum + E85 blow thru

    that’s what made us do a 2-1 merge, are you going to run 2 wastegates? Is your oil drain in your pan?

    Another small block turbo early valiant

    Ahh yes, I didn’t think about maxing out the map sensor. I do not have another gauge to verify. I’m using cometic gaskets.
