Hey guys . I posted this over on the welcome wagon , but figure I should put it here as well . My project is a 1970 Valiant coupe . The body is a U.S '67 Dart essentially . The car was purchased from a friend of mine as a roller , and was originally built in a very 1980's style . Car is ready for final sand as soon as some small fabrication jobs are taken care of . Anyway , time for pics .
Motor is a 354 with 8/71 Blower Shop blower , Comp Blower cam , twin 950 Holley blower carbs , Ross pistons etc . Its all new parts and I have done initial run in on my stand and it ran sweet .
Initial test fit . Tight but its in .
Nice big brakes up front to slow it down .
Steering rack from a locally built GM car .
Big tires tucked in .
Fitted a Dakota Digital 6 gauge dash . Had to widen the original bezel and the dash opening to get it in . Fills the dash nicely .
New wiring going in front to back . The car had some very scary wiring when purchased .
The plan at the moment is to finish the engine install , then all new original style interior in black and then paint . Will be done in Sublime with a black trunk stripe and black hood . I love hanging around this site , and hopefully I can learn more about these cars from all the knowledgable people that are on here . Rob .
