Started out as '64 Canadian Valiant wagon (US Dart aft of the firewall, US Valiant forward of the firewall...like all '63-'64 Canadian Valiants). More discussion of that car, by the owner/builder, in the last post of this thread.

AMighta just been replaced if the original blew up. I'd just leave it a slant 6 anyhow and just cruise around

Engine work finally done for a while. It's rebuilt .060 over. Aftermarket cam. Super six carter bbd and HEI electronic ignition. Flowmaster 40 muffler. Up next is to put in the disc brakes, and drive it as-is until next year when I can work on the body.

I bought this car from a breaker's yard for 450 and cost 452 to immatriculate. I've spent a bit more since, ordering performance parts from Australia.

that is actually really cool! and its got all the good parts already on it that anybody would want!
How much did it cost to rebuild the slant 6?

The cylinder head alone cost 2,000AUD. A quick estimate would be ca $10,000, perhaps more, plus about 3,000 for delivery and customs fees. Another 2,000 went for machining.
LOVE the gas cap location, Zuluman!! I always wondered why no one puts em on top like the chargers. That's where I'd put it. First one ive seen like that!

Thank you for the compliment. We head 2 choices ; on the side, with an indented circle like the 1967 Barracuda or like a Charger. I think these little deatails are important.

Thank you again 75slant6. The side marker lights are actually from Dakota Digital, with LEDs. I hated the plastic factory parts because these didn't suit the car at all. I found the to be too "modern" for the original design. I wanted the right look with a balance of modern and period elements. My balance.

Can anyone tell me if this is the correct air cleaner, or am I supposed to have the one without the snorkel?
