Those are great cars. I had two of those, both automatics, as well a '63 Dart hardtop, a non-S '65 Barracuda and various other Valiants. It's too good, to be a daily driver in today's insane traffic. That's a nice resto-mod. Not overdone to the point where the vehicle loses its charachter. The only complaint would be about the missing armrests. Electronic ignition saves plenty of the cussing resulting from ruining that plastic distributor gear, when doing tune-ups
I believe the first car to have the new 225 engine was the 1960 Valiant. Very clever update of drivetrain, truly makes this car a go anywhere kind of vehicle.
5-speed transmission of what make of car. Dodge or Ford. Do you know the part number of the transmission. There was an improvement in drivability, less fuel consumption, higher efficiency, what happened. Could you tell us a little bit about it. Is it possible to lift the car and show the transmission. Thanks .
