I've got a source locally, in Austin, that is selling off all of his stuff....complete cars only. I'm working a deal on a '65 4 door just like yours (same color, but a slant 6), but he has a couple more of them. Shoot me a PM and I'll be happy to give you his contact info. I'm still looking...

Good input sofar, many things that I've read about and are aware of already. MPG is a real concern honestly, I just figured if I could break even in that regards AND have more power that would be awesome. Brakes and suspension will be upgraded after the slant is removed. There is some minor...

Younggun, your car and mine could be twins. Mine was the same color as yours originally, although it's now a crappy flat black, and has rally wheels on it too. I'm going back to the original color. Wanna keep that granny sleeper look. Thanks for the input. Wayno

Hey gang, I'm contemplating, very seriously, swapping a late model 5.9 engine and trans swap into my '65 Valiant. I've had a low(ish) mileage '97 B3500 one ton van fall into my lap for free and I can think of no better home for the drivetrain. Obviously I'll have the entire drivetrain, ECM...

Although I am a big fan of rat rods ( if you've seen pix of my truck you'll know what I mean) I can't say I'm a fan of this look for the Dart. Looks more like it was an afterthought really. Glad he got the 383 shoe horned in there, but other than that I can't say I'd buy it, even at half the...

Been working like a mad man for the past three months building our '65 Dodge D200 crew cab and FINALLY got to where I could drive it safely for the Lonestar Roundup here in Austin last weekend. Now that the big push to get the crew cab streetable is over I have to do something fun with our '65...

After months, and months, and then a couple more months, I've finally driven the Valiant. Long story short, finally bought a replacement fender for the passenger side from Dr. Mopar down here in Central Texas today and installed it...banged out some of the hood damage to where it will close...

Rmchrger, I like your old junk.....well the CAR I mean! That's the look we're going for with our '65... I'm stickin' with the slant.... .030 over, head shaved .100, Direct Connection .460 lift 268 duration, Clifford 4bbl intake, header, Holley. Haven't decided on the trans yet, have...

And now for something completely different................

Well gentlemen, the deal has fallen thru due to the "inconsistancies" of the story from the owner. Supposedly is drivable, right up till I get ready to go get the thing and drive it from north San Antonio to Austin, roughly 70 miles. All of a sudden the owner says "you need to have it TOWED...

They seem to be very "desirable" to the vintage motorhome people.....I'm glad I found this thing, looking forward to draggin' my Valiant to the track with it. I'm bringing back the 60's one day at a time! Wayne Austin, TX

It's a 1969....interior needs a little love, but it's ain't nothin' for a stepper!

It absolutely is a whole lotta Mopar....I can't wait to get it home to piss off the neighbors!

No the toilet ain't in the middle of the shower.....I'm in the process of finalizing the deal as we speak. I WISH it had the 440, it's got a 318.

Yeah, I know, it's not an A body...but it's cool as hell and since I OWN an A body and needed something to tow it to the track with, I figured this would be perfect. Let the questions begin...... Wayne

Factory Rallye's for me, for NOW........

Turns out that all the stuff is from a 1966 Baracuda. Ended up buying the motor and trans though. Super Six and Auto trans.......

About to head out the door to take a gander at the stuff. Seems like a nice enough gent, hopefully he'll have some good stuff that I can get my hands on. I'll update this afternoon.... Wayne

That's exactly what I was looking for Patch, thanks for the info....let's hope for SMOOTH sailing!!!!! Wayne

Found a guy somewhat locally here to Austin that has some 1965 Baracuda parts for sale, much of which I can use for my '65 Valiant. What I'm really curious about is the rear end....This particular rear assembly came from a '65 Baracuda with an automatic and 225/6. Any ideas as to what gearing...

You'd think so, right? Well, the band is far from NEEDING a tour bus, for now. And the bus, well, let's just say it's a work in progress.......lotsa work needed and no progress sofar. Wayne Austin, TX

My bus.....now THERE is a sore spot with the wifey! Bought it back in February and have YET to move it from the spot where I bought it! She's chompin' at the bit for me to sell it, and I probably should. Hell, that's where I'll get the doh ray mi to get the Valiant looking good..... Or...

I acutally own an old city bus too, we've been converting it into an RV. Wonder what they'll say when I park THAT in front of my house for a weekend? Most likely going to put a cover over it, and then start having band practice at MY house for a change. Wayne Austin, TX

Another, slightly different, question about fuel caps....Anyone have any luck installing the Charger flip cap style on an early A-body? I think it would look awesome, so I'm gonna try it! Wayne Austin, TX

Oh it runs, quite well in fact. Can burn one tire right down to the rim! Tags are out though. I keep it parked in the driveway all the time with the exception of one night, I'm sure that's when the complaint was filed. Sheriff's office stopped by to make a "courtesy call" yesterday morning...

I've just now received a letter from my home Municipal Utility District office that I'm in violation of the Restrictive Covenant; my Valiant is "derelict" and must be stored "out of view". This must be corrected within 10 days. I WISH the car could be "corrected" in 10 days! It would take a back...

I recently attended "The Day Of The Drags" in Temple, TX. Saw some junk, saw some nicely put together rats. One of 'em ran the 1/4 in 8.5 seconds at a speed that should have made parts FLY off of the thing. I also attend the Lonestar Round-up every year here in Austin. Basically the biggest...

Here's my recently acquired, FREE, '65 Valiant V100. 225, three on the tree, bone stock, for now. Even has A/C.....

Isn't the T5 a Ford trans? I'm not looking for tons of fabrication, just a relatively simple(ish) swap.... Wayne

My apology if this subject is covered elsewhere, but I'm wondering if there is a late model manual trans that will work behind a 225 slant six in early A-bodies. If there is, anyone have any ideas as to what the swap entails? Wayne Austin, TX
