Re: Brake Drums Valiant VF / 69 Dart

Magic. Thanks Dave for all the info. I'll take some time tomorrow to go though it all.

It is only the rear drums. The front are discs upgrade and I was forgetting that they were not standard.

3 inch drums!? I guess these must have been upgraded as the fronts are disc, which I think were not standard either.

Front suspension kit - VF

Hello all. I need to have my front suspension and steering rebuilt on my VF Valiant. There is a bunch of worn-out kit to replace. I recall a custom adjustable kit for the VF/VG that allowed the front set-up to be installed with relative ease (i.e. without lifting block or dismantling around). I can'...

Re: Some valiants for sale

Hi Pete. Thanks for sharing your situation & revelation. No doubt difficult but respect to you - how many of us have cringed when we've seen a car parked up and rotting and the owner says "I'm going to restore it one day" - but never does! What vehicle/s have you decided to keep and fo...

I take it these are all pictures from past banger racing events? So most of these vehicles have long been crushed!

Re: Service manual for sale

How relevant do you think it is for the VF/VG series? I now have a few decent independent manuals covering v8 and slant 6, but not a factory one.

Re: EHJ 480H - VF Valiant Hardtop - back on eBay

I will check what engine mine has and let you know. It was originally slant six but was replaced with hemi v8. There is a database that allows you decipher from the VIN that I once saw.

Re: Period correct engine

Being a VF, chances are it was a originally a Slant Six. I think the 318 is what mine was swapped to. It was originally a Slant Six, which some believed was better than the V8 alternative at the time.
