Don't you hate getting screwed / Gasser thread

If any of you guys were considering buying the '66 Valiant from REJ and didn't....you got screwed! This car is just fucking neat as hell!! I don't think I've gotten this much car for the money since I bought a '65 Impala 327/Pg for $900 (1984). Hmmm...a Pontiac 400 would flip this puppy OVER (unless I find a Hilborn injection unit for a 283).

Here's a couple of pics, and the last pic is of some stuff a fella named Tampa Matt gave me and we swung by and picked up after stopping off at Robert's.

Thanks, guys!!! Made my fucking year.



Kick ass old timey ladder bar mounts!!



BTW, wheel chock is an ashtray I made from a trashed 360...sorta worked out in the end for it!

 

Dude...it NEEDS a HEMI!!!

 

Dude..I need the MONEY!!!!

 

LOL..

cool car!

 

Nice, very nice. And very different. Hope it comes together just right. Yea, looks like a good start to your new year.

 

A bodies rule. Even the early ones.

Cool score. Major jealous.

How bout a 383? That's a neat car. Glad to see you're onto a new project.

 

"There was nothing in the rules that required the original engine in the car to be used."

But I have a 400 Pontiac and a 283 Chiv.

Place I currently work for sold a 354 about a month before I started for


$200


FUCK.

 

Hey you know me...283's are my fav.

 

Congrats! Looks great to me. I'm surprised we didn't see more of these back in the day - I love Valiants. How 'bout a 440?

 

Got one you'd trade for a SBC? I've got two roller cams for it!

 

You talking to me hoss?

 

NO..I've got a 283, but if someone has a Hemi or Wedge to trade for my 283....I'd probably do it.

On the same token, a 400 Pontiac with a TH400 of mine could probably be had for a complete Hilborn MFI unit. I KNOW you have the connection on that shit, Root!

And if you need a Sprintcar type of Rollergirl...er, cam, lemme know. Came with the neato stuff today.

 

I'm a poor dumb okie...I have no connections.

 

USE THE PONCHO!!!!!!! It would be so nice to see that odd of a match up--and it would make craploads of torque!

 

No, you're a misplaced Texan.

Pontiac it will probably most likely pretty much have to be. Flamedaboner and my El Slobo shitbox sorta showed me the mechanical Prince of Peace. And I have one at a buddy's house that I'm picking up tomorrow.

 

Great score!! Looks like you'll have fun with that one

 

Naw, I left my 440 in my other pants. But I agree that a Poncho motor would be big fun in the Valiant! (I really dig Pontiacs and FlamedAbone sure knows the recipe)

 

Do the Pontiac ONLY if you want to go fast...


-Abone.

 

Is there a straight axel under the front end? Im a huge valiant fan ( i have a '66) But I think you should keep it all mopar. I've got a mild small block in mine and she's pritty quick. What are your plans for it ?

 

SBC...but a BIG sbc. Save up your sheckles and build a 383 chevy for it. When the guys ask you what engine it has, tell 'em it's got a 383. They'll think it's a mopar motor..........until you pull the front wheels.

 

Your new project ROCKS man !

I love it

 

Dodge van straight axle, 8 3/4" rear end...

Rocky, where in the hell does one locate some "sheckles"?

 

nice car, 30 yrs ago I had its twin as a daily driver.

 

until you've had a 440 in a early a body ......it sounds like a good deal ...then you realize how much room ...YOU DON'T HAVE....hahah i remember looking at the ad thinking ....i would love another one.....but bad timing and a little out of the way....now those front spring mounts look a little iffy.....but a easy way to raise the rear....that thats a plus on a early a body ....bolt in spring mounts...happy hackin'......brandon


cool mike ditty pic.....

 

Cool pics!

 

Not exactly a gasser, but here is mine.

 

Freakin Cool! Good luck with it.
I'm partial to Pontiacs myself...
but a 383 or 440 would be bitchin

 

GOOD LUCK on that trade! hahaha


for real,,,dude,,,MOPARS RULED the 60's..why would you want to put a chevy in it? (OR A PONTIAC???)


.IT WOULD BE GAYER than GAY to put a chevy motor in MOPAR!!!!!!!!!!
might as well stick a LS1 in your fiberglass 32 ford while your at it..

 

Killer!

NO..I'm putting a Pontiac into it.
