Some pictures of my street/strip Valiant that I'm working on. Hope to have it going by next season.

OMG! You ruined all the patina! Heathen!

:lol:

I don't think my Valiant could run if it were that clean in the engine bay.

Sorry 'bout the "patina", but with all the rust this thing had, the new paint is the only thing holding it together! :)

Got the motor in. Made my own headers from a set of Hooker long tube 1 5/8" Jeep headers I got off of ebay cheap.

Thanks guys.
I must have done something wrong with the header paint because as soon as I started it up the paint bubbled and flaked. I'll deal with that later.
This is a test motor, built real mild. I just wanted to make sure it fit and see how it ran. I will pull it and drop it in another car that's more street ready and build another engine for this car.
