that was the first thought that popped into my mind

the stainless turbo headers arrived today

today's delivery was the balance plate from speedway motors. this is sandwiched between the crankshaft and the 350 neutral balance flywheel to simulate a 383/400 external balance flywheel. the advantage is the 350 flywheel is lighter than a 400 one so the engine can rev quicker.

so i got in from work and it was like christmas again :D the o/s headlight bezel was here from pennsylvania, the chinese turbos from leicester and perhaps least glamorous but very important the manual flywheel from sevenoaks ;) just the chinese stainless headers from california and the flywheel bala...

i almost bought a 68 dart gt hardtop also with a six before i got this. i even sent a deposit but the owner in the US backed out and i got the deposit back. i actually think i prefer this valiant because it's a bit more oddball and i like oddball. all the trim's good too except where the o/s front w...

thanks for the encouragement folks, wasn't sure what to expect on here what with the chevy swap and 9" rear. good to see you're still just car guys :D for this summer the plan is to get it moted so i can register it as is and get it on historic tax. dvla won't register 'modified' imports these ...

so i've looked for a blasphemers section but can't find one so here it is :angel12: . as above some of you may have seen the green valiant on ebay over the last few months down in bristol. so it's now here with me. initially i planned to fit a jensen 383/727 a mate has offered me which he took out o...
