D/Dart of 1966 Super Stock option

[Paul Ceasrine]

Jim R,
The 275HP D-Dart engine combo would only be competitive if the
HP was re-factored to 240HP.
The cast iron intake (carb holes) would have to be bored out to
1 11/16" (primary and secondary), to suit the Holley.
It would be worth a shot, for stock only.
For Super/Stock, as Matt said, 'Take a pass on that combo'.

Too bad Mopar didn't stay with their original 1966 idea.
273/180HP 2-barrel
273/200HP 4-barrel
273/225HP 4-barrel Commando
273/240HP 4-barrel Commando II
273/255HP 4-barrel (E-Dart)

I'd LOVE to build a '67 Valiant with Matt's 273-235/230 (220???) combo for SS/L. Gotta check the lottery tickets !!!!

Todd,
If your 67' project doesn't go through.
I know where there is a 1965 V-200 4-door sedan.
An original 273/235HP Commando 4-speed.
One of the few 'special order' order cars for the
New York City Taxi Commision, back in late 65'
All black, w/black interior.
Car is hiding in the back of a junk-yard in Columbia County , New York.
100% original and complete.
Been sitting there since 1973.

Hmmmmm....a four door Valiant Super Stocker ....????? I actually have to build my E/SA '69 340 Dart first, but thanks Paul.

Todd,
The Dart is a little better looking.
Maybe the V-200 4-door would work better for a late-nite sleeper car.

Yes Paul the Dart is a bit better looking, but I'd love to do the '67 Valiant SSer in some wild colour or paint scheme...

[Paul Ceasrine]

Todd,
Never saw to many 67' Valiant 273 Commando's running around back in the late 60's or early 70's.
As a matter of fact, I only saw one, in K/SA in 70'/71'.
Always thought that was a 'cool' project car.
Done up, those cars look 'nice'.
