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.
