1968 plymouth

Eric Kitzan · 10-21-2011, 08:02 PM

I was trying to find the classification for a 1968 plymouth valiant 200 with a 225 slant six and auto trans. I couldnt find it, is it not in the guide or am i just not seeing it, thanks.

Eric,

It's in there, although not as a Valiant. They list a 1968 Plymouth 100 and Signet (108 inch wheelbase) with a 225 C.I. rated at 145 HP. The 2-door factor is 19.81 and the 4 door is 19.96.

Hope this helps!

Not a very good combo, FYI.

Thanks Lew for the information. I didn't figure it was a good combo being that it has a 1 bbl 1920 holley for a carb. I was just curious to see where it would fit in stock since I have the car.

I think the 170 or 198 would be a better combo than the 225.

The '68 Valiants are super cool. No offense to the Leaning Tower of Power contingent but what would be the baddest mill you could get in one? 340 4bbl? Sorry for not just looking it up myself...

318-2v is the "baddest" mill available in a '68 Valiant. 273-2v also available may be a better combo. 340s were only available in Barracudas that year.

I would run it as a '67 and use the 273/235 4v Commando with a stick if it were me. SS/L, M and N I believe. Have to look up the stock class .....
