Hey Guys,

This is my car its a Australian Valiant Charger, currently running a Hemi 265 - 4spd manual, Koni shocks, front and rear swaybars and sitting on 17 x 8 American torque thrusts.

Plan to upgrade the car to a 5.7L Hemi with a T56 6spd, upgrade rear drums to discs, vintage air, pwr windows (tinted), repaint (hemi orange or metallic blue), black interior, and pwr rack and pinion. Basically old styling with as much modern tech as I can. Custom front and rear end suspension would be nice but price and getting it approved make it difficult.

Hiya,

Fellow Aussie reporting in. This is fantastic, I'd love to see a Valiant Charger be given the Pro-Touring treatment. Although if it were me, I'd EFI/Turbo the 265 Hemi. Still a good choice you've made.

Slowly gathering parts, will defiantly be drawing on help from guys that have done the new Gen Hemi conversions.

Be one mean sounding gas guzzler.

Your car though.

Off my P's I plan on putting a nice big phat Hemi in my (hopefully mine soon) VF Coupe.
