Agree, its coming along real nice.
Great to see someone taking proper care of a more door car here in Sweden, most of them are treated like sh-t. I salute you for this. :prayer:

I agree. I think the market and interest for A-body cars here in Sweden has increased the last years. People starts to restore and take care of four door cars which has not been common. It can't just be hardtops and convertibles. I love the couple that took gold at Power meet a couple of years ago with a 4 door Ford. The other guys with convertibles and hardtops didn't say nothing. Bad loosers or what?
 
old cop cars and four door abody valiant is nice sleper cars becuse ewerybody think that they cant go fast but they can :burnout::glasses7:

Thank you very much :)
yes most valiants usually being badly treated. especially when they are 4 door :(

then it's funny that no one expects a race engine in a 4 dorr valiant
it will be fun to beat some big block engines " I hope " :dontknow:
 
engine block is back from the driller :D


Test assembly of the crankshaft. to check the clearance from the connecting rods
 
That will haul some serious arse with that stroker 360.. Good job !
 
update! =)

assembled the pistons and connecting rods
the spiro-lock was a real pain to put in


crankshaft and bearings in place


grinding piston rings tomorrow




Does anyone know why the new rod caps Do not Have oil grooves?
will the cylinders have enough oil then? :-s
Original vs. scat
 
at the moment it is pretty still, I am waiting for the new camshaft and intake to arrive :sad1:

but little progress have I made. cleaned the heads today :)
the heads cast nr is 4027596-hp. People I have talk to say that they are pretty good heads :)
 
update :cheers:

new valves


the heads are back from the workshop


new seats and guides




because I should have dual valve springs, I had to cut down the Valve Guide. I used a Cutter from Comp Cams 4715
 
Great work man. Always fun to see another a body Swede on here. What did you do with the 318 now that you are going with the stroker?

thank you, what I will do this winter is to replace the 596 cast iron heads with Edelbrock heads, the heads I have now flowing a little too bad, the engine is built for 100 hp nitrous which I will put on this winter. :cheers:
