68 Plymouth Valiant
Was walking around a junk yard and they had a primo 68 Valiant with a 170 slant six. Has anyone actually ran this combo?

If anybody has run that combo it would probably be either Phillip Marvstz
Washington State or Paul Wong in Vegas.

Re: 68 Plymouth Valiant
Thank you paul, I got the beast for $200 complete. Now I have to figure out to keep it as a street car with great gas mileage or turn it into a stocker

Re: 68 Plymouth Valiant
I never tried the 170. The 225 1 barrel would run under the index but they are extremely weather sensitive and Mike Jeffery pretty much killed the 2 barrel combo. V8 probably wouldn't cost any more to build.
