I just finished a rotisserie restoration of my 68 340 4 speed. I was approximately a 6 year project collecting all 68 340 parts and restoring every nut and bolt on the car.
Thank you!Very nice job
Thanks Mark!Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
Thank you much for comments, I agree with you that they should have made these that way.Nice job on that car. Dash and scoops look like they came on the car. Also like the Magnum 500's. A Valiant only some of us could dream of. The 4 spd just puts it over the top. They should have made this car from the factory. Just like yours.
I never understood why they didn't make a light weight valiant muscle car in 68 and 69. An SS Hemi Valiant would have been very cool and much lighter then the Barracuda.
A friend of mine 1969383valiant has a a 69. People always think its a Nova. Once my son moves to his new shop we'll be giving it a face lift. I like the 69's . He has the parts we just need space right now.
Thank you!Great car!
It is called Quicksand, that is the late model Toyota truck color. it is the lighter of the two variations they have.Beautiful car, nicely done and well proportioned.
What color is it?
Good to hear. How is the 340 built? Mild or ?I am still breaking the engine in, 23 miles. I'm getting it insured for a stated value today so I can start driving it soon!
It is pretty mild, we estimate it @ 410 HP. It's balanced, blueprinted and is 9.4 to 1 balanced compression.Good to hear. How is the 340 built? Mild or ?

Yes I am, I have a restored front and rear sway bar for the car. I made a rookie mistake as I purchased 73 to 76 lower control arms w sway bar tabs and of coarse I have a 68-72 K member. I don't want to take it apart but I believe I will be carefully cutting off the tabs and re-welding new ones on it the correct location. This was my first Mopar resto so I am learning from my mistakes. I tried to make it as if it were a factory 340 car, I also put the front and rear torque boxes as well.Fantastic job 4 speedin! Great attention to details and it looks as if it was Chrysler produced. Just a question. Are you considering a front swaybar in the future?
