Most have 8 1/4. Some (if not all) 66 Formula S models came with 8 3/4 but I'm not certain about the availability on 65 models. I have a dealer option packet around here somewhere for the 65 models that may have the information in it and will post if I can find it.
I use to know this but haven't messed with the car in a while and have forgotten some of the spec. info.
65 Barracuda 70 Challenger

My 65 Cuda has a 7 1/4, not the original one either. SOmewhere before I got it the axle got replaced. I have an 8 3/4 sitting in the storeroom to put in it.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

The earliest 8.75 in an A-Body that I have heard of would have been the D/Dart in 66. I have never seen or heard of the Valient line being toured with HD equipment.

65 and 66 Valiants were available with top-of-the-line A body performance options of the day, including Commando 273 V-8 and 4-speed transmission.
You could still get the Commando 273 and 4-spd tranny in a 67 Valiant, but the 383 4-barrel was optional only in the Barracuda (in the Plymouth A-body line).
Top engine option for 68 Valiants was the 318 2-barrel. 4-speed tranny was still available. A friend of mine inherited a 68 318 4-speed Valiant; it has an 8 3/4 rear and a ralley dash.
