G'day

[318Goon]

Hi All,

Been trawling through this site for a while, thought it was about time I joined up. Lots of great info and helpful people - as is common with Mopar communities I've found.

Anyway, as my name suggests I've got a V8 Wagon - an Australian Chrysler Valiant from 1974. This is it:

So - G'day. It's debateable whether the later Aussie Valiants were large A Bodies or small B Bodies - so hopefully y'all don't kick me out. :icon_smi:

Cheers

Nick

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Just as a bit more info, it's got a 318 / tf904 combo with a 2.92 rear end. It's currently being converted to run on LPG (propane) - petrol prices here are high and propane is less than half the cost of petrol. I'm also building a higher compression (10:1) teen to suit the propane fuel - by the way, if anyone knows where I can get some unmolested cast 302 heads (aside from those clowns at clearwater cylinder heads) I'd be very interested.

It's also got adjustable rancho shocks all around and a front and rear swaybar, so it actually handles pretty well for a land barge.
