Front of the motor looks like a nice layout. Do you remember what dipstick set up you have on there? Looks like a late model design, maybe Lexus or something like that?

Is that one of my aluminum alternator pullies? Looks like my part but I can't tell for sure.

The dip stick is from a Dodge Truck with a Magnum engine. I got it at Glendora Dodge. I figured if the oil filter plate etc was Magnum production parts it would work. It fits the hole in the block really well and the dip stick seals real well to the tube etc. I shortned it something like 12" though and re-worked the mounting tab. But it is solid and well worth the effort.

Alt pulley was from Powermaster.

Good to hear Ron Just curious is your vac pump staying dry???




I think it's too early to tell. So far I have about an hour+ of easy street driving and 2 quick squirts through 1rst 2nd and into 3rd at full throttle. Plus I adjusted the regulator twice. But all is well so far. I will let you know if I find oil. That breather has 2 perforated screens and some coalescing material in it and I doubt much oil will pass through it.




Ok and thanks for the pics.

Hey Ron you came by my house a couple years ago and looked at my 68 Dart I was selling. It's nice to see the progess you made on the Valiant since then. The car and the motor looks outstanding! I always look forward to your small block A body smoking the race cars at the track. As much as I love the write up on the motor. It sure could of been fun just opening the hood and not talking cubic inch after those 10 flat passes with the brakes on at the finish line.

LOL, I can still do that!

I wanted that Dart and I put a bid in for it, but I got outbid and decided to let someone else have it. I enjoyed seeing you drive it around Alta Loma.

Well, the Valiant is ready to make some passes, but I am having a hard time getting ahold of Dave at Pro Trans. So, as usual I am hung out again. Paid $2500 for a complete spare trans and I still get shish-kabobbed. I really do think this motor will break the input shaft of the current 904.
The car is completely out of control on the street and I need to take it to the track.

Ron.

Well, my 474 in the Demon broke the output shaft once. And, they have had billet input shafts for a long time. So, I am assuming the input shaft is toast if I hook this thing up at the track. Remember, I have 4.500" stroke, smallish heads for the CI and I have LONG header primaries.

Please shoot me the info for Darryl, as I am not going to wait forever. I am actually kind of afraid Pro Trans went out of buisness, because I have literally been trying to get ahold of them for a few weeks now. It's that bad. Kind of scary since he has my Trans.

I just got ahold of Dave, so I am golden. He is going to bring my trans down to Fontana this weekend because they are racing there and I will get it from him then.

It will save me 3 hours of driving

thanks, what got me thinking was just that you have something that should make a ton of torque,and im kind of in the same boat i think with a much shorter stroke but with a twinscrewblower that may create alitle more torque than most smallblocks make and im going to try to make my 904 live also,dont think i will have as much torque as you have but alot more than most

I wanted to post because I am always bragging about this and I finally had an oppertunity to time it. I removed the headers I just made to have them coated.

10 minutes to raise the car and put it on jack stands.
33 more minutes to completely remove the headers.

They do not require ANY other components to be removed or touched. So, I could start the car and drive it away, to headers laying on ground : 43 minutes.

So, headers are being coated and should be back by next friday. I got the good trans back from Dave as planned yesterday and installed it with the 8" ATI converter. It's all buttoned up and ready to go. Just a few more honey doos and I will be ready to rock. I am thinking I should make the Sacramento Mopar day with ease. SWEET!
