In early 1972, I found a "rolled-over" '71 Dodge Demon with that exact powertrain (4-speed) in a junkyard (13,000 miles on the car) and bought the whole shebang from fan to rear end (3.91) for $500.00 and dropped it into a '64 Valiant 2-door sedan.

Everything just bolted in, including the driveshaft, which I never understood, because the Demon's wheelbase was 2" longer.... I only had to change the speedometer cable and the oil pressure sending unit (and run the lower radiator hose to the other side.)

With some 7" slicks left over from my sedan delivery days, and fenderwell headers (the stock manifolds were too wide), a 4.56 gear and a Lunati, "Riddler" cam, it ran mid-12's.... with the otherwise stock engine. This one came with a 750 cfm Thermoquad (first year for it.)

A fun street car for very little $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
