Here's my blank canvas!

It doesn't look like much, but it is unmolested, original paint, etc.

It's going to get a quenched high compression \6 build. Either 10:1 or 12:1 depending on the combustion chamber geometry. If the 12:1 version is built it will run with water methanol injection to allow 93 octane pump gas usage.

8 3/4" W/4.10-4.30-4.56 depending on the power band & tire size. OE disc brakes conversion on the front.

I want to build a N/A \6 that can rip off a 12.99 when conditions are right & run solid 13.5s under average conditions.

A 150 shot of N2O will liven things up for the occasional low 12/high 11 pass.

















Lots of work to do!

Some Great looking cars!

What headers are you using?

 

[memike]

Those are W.A.G.G.I.N =1.2.3.4.5.6. manifolds our member waggin split for me because I have a 170/6.

I do have these when and if I build a 225, on your build you will need a set like the bottom picture

 

[VIOLENT\6]

on your build you will need a set like the bottom picture

So what are they?

Will they clear the stock '65 (automatic) column shft linkage?

I'm thinking that I will eventually go to a reverse manuak valve body on the floor, but I want to keep my options open.

my cousin had this one in the yard for the longest time.......not ours anymore ...but this was my only shot at a valiant......i prolly should not have let it go ....but it happens sometimes. i know the guy who has it now....at least it went to a good home. needs a lot of help though.

 

[hollywood hig]

in case u haven't noticed, i started this thread in hopes of millions of VALIANT OWNERS, would post up there projects.............as long as it's a valiant it needs to be posted up here, scamps, signets, verts, more doors, race cars, as long as it has a valiant badge, (or had) post it up please, i'd like to see them!!

Actually, couldn't the early Gen I Barracudas be considered Valiants?

 

[hemitheus]

This is my Scamp project, random pics. I didnt go with the 67 valiant front clip. Going 1968 instead. I havent taken pics in forever. need to take more.

Vinyl top removed by previous owner. shot the top with flat black paint... Rust underneath so I am sanding it all off.

 

[Kegan B]

My Scamp. '74 318/904(#'s match) daily driver. all stock other than the RPM and Eddy.

 

[hemitheus]

Kegan, I am digging those Keystone Klassics. they look so good on an A body.

I love the wheel and tire combo on your Signet Hollywood

 

[Mtn Thunder]

Hollywood Hig and Hot Lines have some of the nicest ones I've seen. Great Ideas and creativity on both.

 

[HotLines]

Thank you Mtn Thunder, yet photos don't show you scratches and tiny dents my Signet has after 25+ years of being on the street right down to the polished engine components which by the photos are not as shiny as they once were and to tell you the truth, I just don't care to polish them any longer. Hey, it's just a daily driver and not a show vehicle...

At the risk of over-saturating FABO (these pictures have graced these cyber-pages many times) I'll post them since you asked.

Two Valiants: First is the more interesting one, I think, because it is AA/Different...


'64 Valiant V-200 more-door (we couldn't find a 2-door)

Turbocharged 225 1964 motor
Ported head with 1.75"/1.5" valves, not milled
Wiseco 3.065" pistons/K1 198-length forged rods, ARP 220,000-psi head studs;crank turned .010"/.010"
Cam by Bullet with .484"-lift (1.5:1 rockers,) 210/210 duration @ .050"-lift, ground on 115-degree lobe centers
Homemade header, Aussie long-runner intake (wrong for this enine, I think.)
Holley 750 double pumper, blow-thru carb
Snowperformance BoostCooler Stage I alcohol injector
Spearco 550hp-capable air-to-air intercooler
Chrysler distributor with a locked plate and no vacuum advance mechanism
18 degrees of spark advance
Deep pan, baffled
10 pounds of boost so far (we are newbies at this and are starting out small.)
904 tranny with mods (2.74 geared 1st geat; reverse-pattern manual valve body)
3500 rpm stall Hughes converter
2,670 pounds without driver
8.75" rear end with 3.55 Sure Grip gearing Yukon axles
Hoosier 15"-diameter, 26:-tall, 9"-wide slicks, bias-ply
90/10 shocks in the front; 50.50 in the back
Cal Tracs
7290 U-joints
6-point Roll bar welded in
8-gallon fuel cell
Walbro fuel pump
Aeromotive fuel presssure regulator
3/8" fuel and 1/2"-return lines
9:1 measured static compression
cold NGK plugs

This engine is a close copy of Tom Wolfe's engine. He is a MUCH better horsepower wrangler than we are, so we don't expect our engine to perform anything like his, but his makes approximately 500 horsepower, going 11-flat @ 120 in a 3,400-pound car into a 15mph headwind.

If we can gat 400hp out of this bucket of bolts, we'll be really, really happy! That would give us quarter-mile times in the 11.30s @ about 118mph.

That's a lot easier to say than it is to do, however, and saying it doesn't make it true! Talk is cheap... we'll see.

This has been a 4-year project for us and it is finally about to be ready for the drag strip.

Anyway, here's some pix...
