Back in 1987, I was in college and working at the local Mom & Pop Chrysler Plymouth dealer. A guy I met at school had a Nova with a choppy 350, and wanted to get into MoPars. He sold the Nova and bought a '70 Dart Swinger 340 (real musclecar!), minus engine/trans. I had recently bought a '77 Newport 400/727 that was traded in at the dealership for $100 (!!!), Lean Burn and all. I did a Gunk Motor flush on it, replaced the leaky orange rubber valve cover gaskets, and washed the engine with foamy Engine Brite. It ran great, and my friend offered me $300 for the motor and trans, and agreed to buy the parts and pay my labor to put it all together. He bought a Comp 280 cam, Weiand 8008 Action intake, and got me to order the Direct Connection K-frame and headers (made by "JR Headers"), which back then were an astounding $800 for both. With the stock 3.23 open rear, the thing was a tire fryer, but ran pretty good overall and was really docile with a good lumpy idle. Aaah to be young again!!
It was amazing that you could buy a decent car for $100 with the right connections and being in the right place at the right time. My buddy worked at a Pontiac dealer as a mechanic, and the dealer offered trade ins that they would not sell to the public to employees for $99. We bought at least 4 cars from there to fix/sell or drive around. Bought some really epic cars for $1000 back then.
What an awesome car! The fact that the factory A/C was kept and still works is amazing as well. This is a perfect example of a big block swap in an A-Body Chrysler done right. The car looks and sounds great as well right down to the classic gear-reduction starter. I also like the look of the Chrysler Rally style rims on the car as well.
My late father was employee number two at Direct Connection. Seeing those ancient catalogs bring back a lot of memories… The catalog was his pet project every year.
The guy who did this knew his mopars a 69 fury frame bolted right up moter and all he had tobre work things but it's done nice clean job nothing hillbilly here and the moter he picked was even better still had 9 to 1 compression factory. grate combo in 68 and 69 thr goverment didn't have time to slow the engines down yet they ran real good until 71
Wow! What a cool understated street machine. Kudos to the original engine swap person, very clean install with a/c no less. I agree about the stripe, without it the car would be perfect. Now it just needs to be driven and enjoyed. Best of luck with it.
That is definitely a weird Valiant, but in a good way. A lot of motor for a small car. Also crazy how everything worked pretty much after sitting all those years!
Great video brought back memories. I had an Aussie 4dr Valiant fitted with a 383 from a Superbee or Roadrunner (low block?) Was a terrifying car especially in gas consumption. I sold it to a mate that rebuilt it was 470hp on dyno. Was a rough car though.
From an old retired MOPAR/JEEP technician, AWSOME find gentlemen! That would be my car show piece for nice driving weather as is! Love the sound of Mopar big blocks!
@Dead Dodge Garage I'm so glad you finally found me a Mopar muscle car, And you freakin' washed it too. Thanks! I just love it, like, Everything. Sounds like they ordered one of the old Purple Shaft cams for it. Ready.
@@DeadDodgeGarage It really does! I'm making plans to move back out west and when I sell this house @ 3xs what I paid for it (for reals, not kidding) I'm hoping to find myself a new old toy. I just really need one.
Another great video Jamie! Really enjoy the no nonsense videos. Thanks for taking the time to make videos. I don’t know anything about Dodge/Chrysler products and I find myself wanting to get one. Hope to see more in your brothers hoptie. 😮
The 67 Valiant and Dart are my favorite Mopar besides the 69 Charger. That thing’s a beauty, but like you said i think that rear stripe has got to go lol only other thing id do is give it a sure-grip rear end and maybe replace the rotting exhaust with a stainless exhaust and fix the squeaks up front. But other than that she just needs to be enjoyed now! Great vid!
The exhaust seems to be intact, and it sounds so good… it’s a strange looking setup though. If the stripe was a decal, that would be really easy to deal with, but it’s painted on 😞
@@DeadDodgeGaragelet me rephrase that, its not rotting off i just hate how you can see all that rust on the tips lol but ya them being painted on sucks, you’d have to get it re sprayed and at that point id probably just learn to live with it lol either way sweet car but if i were you id just hold on to your Valiant man. Love that rat rod look
My Dad happened across an early 60's valiant with the straight 6 in it. It had the Penzoil sticker from Jiffy Lube where the lil' Grandma from Glendale dutifully got the oil changed for the life of the car. It stopped running and my Dad ended up with it. We took off the timing cover and it was so gunked up you could've made candles with it. So we flushed the motor out and put in fresh oil. Thing started right up and was a reliable runner. I was too young to really like it at the time. But it was in pristine shape - blue with that 60's blue interior. After a break job - I don't think we ever had to do anything to the car except drive it lol.
Mike is 68 valiant I'm a Chevy man but I like dodgers too and you really turn me on to him you really know your stuff keep up the good work Steve from Annapolis Maryland
I like this car and its obviously telling you to keep it. In '84 I wanted a '69 Grand Prix but couldn't afford it so I bought a '72 Challenger R/T while stationed in Bremerton WA. Tawny Gold Met, Magnum 500 wheels, Frost White vinyl top, Tan vinyl highback bucket seat interior w/Slap-Stik Torquefight Auto. 318, original AM/FM. It was an officers wife's car bought new from LaGrange Dodge in IL. I paid $1200.00. No leaks/issues. Drove it from Bremerton to San Diego. No leaks/issues. From San Diego to Houston and back. No issues. When I was transferred to Camp Pendleton I got a stipend to live off base in San Diego. Commuted back and forth daily. Just kept it tuned and the fliuds and filters changed. Finally I wanted a few extras and traded it for a loaded '76 Regal S/R. Over 40 cars later and that Mopar remains the most dependable of any classic Ive ever owned including my '55 Caddy, '60 T-Bird, '65 Riviera and many others. 👍🏾
Awesome story. Except, wait, there were no R/Ts anymore starting in ‘72. I live in Bremerton myself for a few years in the 90s. Technically born in Seattle, but we lived on the Kitsap peninsula and moved south a couple times until we ended up here in Aberdeen in 2000.
I had a slick little 69 valiant I used as my daily driver back in 1988. I traded it to a 1972 340 Cuda that had a blown engine, sure wish I'd foreseen the future back then!
That is one of my bucket cars and cram a 440 in it with frame connectors and some hemisphere stayed torque boxes fore and aft for add strength and a slightly darker green metallic with the white top. Funny how that Valiant is so close to my vision for one!!!!!
What a Classic Plymouth Valiant? It was truly the first "Pony Car" in 1964! The Ford Mustang came out a whole half-year later 1964 1/2! This Plymouth Valiant with that Awesome 383 will fly! Please leave it as is!
You are thinking of the Barracuda. The Valiant was a sedan first, and came in 1960. Its Ford branded competition was the Falcon. Also, this definitely stays as it is!
I am and always will be an A body guy at heart. B bodies are awesome, and make great drivers. But the A body is my happy place. Give me a warmed over small block, some bolt on performance goodies, some classic day two wheels, and ideally three pedals…
I love it, and it must have been a mature person (adult) who took the time and effort to keep the A/C functional. I’ve got the same Mopar Performance book, I had a 69 2 dr Valiant that I did the 340 springs, brakes, fast ratio steering, and 4 speed swap into, but in the end, I kept the six and hopped it up, I already had a heavy hitter Hemi sitting in the garage.
That’s the most amazing barn find situation video I’ve seen. They usually are rusty ,crusty, dusty and broke. It was like an engineering type or technician built it. Incredible!,
That 383 in this Valiant sounds nice. I know about that instrument panel shelf because eons ago, I had a 1968 Plymouth Barracuda fastback with a 318 2bbl. It was a runner.
Loved this video. What a sleeper this car is. I'm an old gray-haired Mopar guy. My first ride was a new '71 Duster when I was senior in high school. I've always wanted to do a V-8 swap in an old Valiant or Dart of this vintage. I want this car! Please sell me this car to save me the time!!
I see an electric radiator fan set, a larger/higher-output alternator and swapping the Llama Barn Valiant's handling parts on in it's future... along with maybe the aftermarket power steering pump kit I've seen made for this body/engine combo.😉
I hate electric fans. I will only use them if it’s like the only option. I like the simple reliability of the mechanical units. If I were to be lucky enough to own this one, I think they’re still selling sway bars and subframe connectors 😁 this one actually has some suspension upgrades and disk brakes already. It’s just about good to go as is.
What a beauty ❗️ That ‘68 is SO awesome…. my mom bought one in ‘68, slant 170. Saved my life when I hit a tree🆘 Brought back SO many memories 🥰 Leave it as is, I’d buy that sweetheart in a heartbeat 💓 Subscibed😇
In the early 70's our family had basically this exact car, same color no vinyl top, same red stripe, same black interior and with the 225 6 cylinder no AC. All basically same but a 4 door. My dad was cheap and this fit the bill. This car brings back memories.
Perfect car to do a V8 swap and they did a nice clean job! She needs a little more Tire on the back. Can't believe the air works! She's happy to be alive!
Did a skill level 2 electrical repair class with Chrysler a couple years back and I answered a question with using a power probe and the instructor said, Chrysler does not recognize power probes as diagnostic tools. But we all know its perfect for finding shorts, power, testing motors and cuts a lot of time out of diags.
Back when my wife was stationed in Monterey at DLI we bought my 74 duster spent tons of affordable mopar money on the Schumacher small block the big block conversion stuff when we stuffed a 440 in my duster it was cool. I did learn a valuable lesson then cost a little bit, but it’s worth it too bad you can’t buy cars like that anymore at affordable prices now everybody wants new car price for a boat anchor.
Awesome car!!! I think the 383 is one of the best engines ever made. I still have an offenhouser six pack intake manifold I bought at a Mopar swap meet in the mid 80's.
Oh dang, that’s awesome. A six pack 383 some day would be fine. I completely agree - I am torn between the 340 and the 383 for my favorite engine of all time. There are no wrong answers.
That’s a cool valiant there is a guy that that comes to our local car cruise in that has one with a 426 hemi 4 speed completely crammed in it. I have a box of maybe 25 brand new 76 antenna balls. Can’t remember how I got them but I have had them for at least 25 years 👍🇺🇸
I had a 70 Valiant with the 225 slant 6. Bought it from an old lady with 38k miles on it back in 1984. Same color, but with a black painted top. Shoulda kept it!!
What a clean valiant, should scoot with that HP 383, it runs good for having sat so long!!! Great engine!! My brother had a 70 rt se challenger with an indy headed 440 and a 727, plumb crazy purple! He also had a 71 demon 340 4 speed with a 391 sure grip, that car was qwk!!! He currently has a 71 challenger plumb crazy pistol grip 4 speed and a 440 stroked to 500 cubes, has a shaker and a spoiler, nice mopar!!!!
I did not find a dead Dodge in this video, but I will take the 30 day free subscriber special in hopes that there is one in the next video. Great video and a awesome car!
👍Nice old ride. 1984 @ 15, my brother gave me an old Dodge Dart w/ a 318. After bustin its a*s down the road & taking out some mailboxes cause it got away from me, my Dad said to give it back to my brother as it’d end up killing me. Sad day but I enjoyed smokin off that rear drivers side tire! :-) 👍🇺🇸
A good upgrade with very little rigging. But keeping the A/C more than makes up for any subtle rigging that was done with the terminal block in the engine compartment
I just don’t even know what the extra wiring is for. It shouldn’t have needed any! Slant six ignition wiring is even long enough for a big block already. Anyway, it works… It’s probably fine.
This thing is a good bit less chunky that my Charger, so I think it's winning A to B pretty handily... I'll stick with my car for the awesome ride, and we can't forget that it's like the most beautiful thing ever engineered by man. Haha. But the Green Bean is definitely a looker too.
Jamie says “you better not disappoint me” before the burn out, think it worked out ok 😂
We’re all disappointed by the one tire not spinning but there’s not much you can do about that. Haha.
Ya it needs a sure grip
@DeadDodgeGarage you should buy that 68 what a great find
@@DeadDodgeGarage I am voting this video down......
Do you know how much you could get for genuine barn dust?

That car is very nice. It looks like a nice big block conversion, definitely not cobbled together.
Yep, the Direct Connection K member is excellent for doing the big block conversion, and the headers are great, WAY better than the stock manifolds.

Thank you!
I’ve owned several mopars from 60s and 70s and you just don’t run across many like that. Lucky dog. That is a great find. Hope to see more of it
What a sweet ride! A fresh pair of chrome exhaust tips would really dress it up for short money. Sounds fantastic, too. I'm green with envy. 😁
Thanks for sharing this once-in-a-lifetime find. SO MUCH WANT.
Wow! What a cool understated street machine. Kudos to the original engine swap person, very clean install with a/c no less. I agree about the stripe, without it the car would be perfect. Now it just needs to be driven and enjoyed. Best of luck with it.
Beautiful car in AMAZING condition. Still see quite a few Valiants on the road here in Australia. Drive my 71 ute regularly.
My uncle taught me when I was a kid that if your Mopar is acting up. Park it for the night and it'll fix itself 👌🇺🇸
That is definitely a weird Valiant, but in a good way. A lot of motor for a small car. Also crazy how everything worked pretty much after sitting all those years!
It was amazing. Kind of ridiculous how well things went actually. Thankfully they stored it inside.
383 is nit so bad, 440 is big and heavy. I am planning to 383 swap my 68 with the Schumacher stuff, exact same
Can’t beat the sound of that starter!
Love the early A's.This one is a great example of how to do a BB conversion right.
Wow nice. Don’t think I’ve ever seen such a thorough swap with all the creature comforts and doodads. Oh yeah, I agree, needs a stripe delete!
Great video brought back memories. I had an Aussie 4dr Valiant fitted with a 383 from a Superbee or Roadrunner (low block?) Was a terrifying car especially in gas consumption. I sold it to a mate that rebuilt it was 470hp on dyno. Was a rough car though.
Damn. That’s an impressive number. 383s are just awesome.
That's one nice '68.
That cars cool, love the color. Pontiac guy here who watches more mopar videos then any thing else. I want a 69 roadrunner or 70 super bee.
Awesome car!! Thanks for the tuning tips!
It's a beautiful day here in Alberta. Watching this has inspired me to spend the rest of the day with my Mopar. Love them and they love you back!

That’s a cool valiant there is a guy that that comes to our local car cruise in that has one with a 426 hemi 4 speed completely crammed in it. I have a box of maybe 25 brand new 76 antenna balls. Can’t remember how I got them but I have had them for at least 25 years 👍🇺🇸
Wow… I’ve got to see a hemi powered valiant some day. That’s awesome!
What a cool little Valiant.
I had a 70 Valiant with the 225 slant 6. Bought it from an old lady with 38k miles on it back in 1984. Same color, but with a black painted top. Shoulda kept it!!
I just LOVE the Mopar soud! that's a very cool sleeper!
What a clean valiant, should scoot with that HP 383, it runs good for having sat so long!!! Great engine!! My brother had a 70 rt se challenger with an indy headed 440 and a 727, plumb crazy purple! He also had a 71 demon 340 4 speed with a 391 sure grip, that car was qwk!!! He currently has a 71 challenger plumb crazy pistol grip 4 speed and a 440 stroked to 500 cubes, has a shaker and a spoiler, nice mopar!!!!
I did not find a dead Dodge in this video, but I will take the 30 day free subscriber special in hopes that there is one in the next video. Great video and a awesome car!
And what a deal it is! Most of the Dead Dodges are currently in my yard…
Sleeper, Q-Ship, Ghost, they didn't see that coming, here's my tail-lights!
👍Nice old ride. 1984 @ 15, my brother gave me an old Dodge Dart w/ a 318. After bustin its a*s down the road & taking out some mailboxes cause it got away from me, my Dad said to give it back to my brother as it’d end up killing me. Sad day but I enjoyed smokin off that rear drivers side tire! :-) 👍🇺🇸
A good upgrade with very little rigging. But keeping the A/C more than makes up for any subtle rigging that was done with the terminal block in the engine compartment
I just don’t even know what the extra wiring is for. It shouldn’t have needed any! Slant six ignition wiring is even long enough for a big block already. Anyway, it works… It’s probably fine.
Love the Valiant !!
When you get ready to sell it, I'm a buyer !!
It’s not mine… wish it was.
Very nice clean and simple car, in spite of the fancy options. It goes a long way to store a car indoors like this one was...
I agree that the wrap around rear stripe doesn’t fit. Just need a sure grip diff. This back in the 80’s was definitely a sleeper car
Numbers matching 383 in my 69 RR, convertible I picked up off original owner, sat for 44 years. Plugs and wires, fill the carb, fired right up.
Oh hell yeah!
That is one sweet sneaky car. Cool to the bone!
I've had over 1/2 dozen Mopars
That looks like you got a keeper it's cool
Yeah it deserves it
I have over a half dozen Mopars right now 😬 I wish I actually owned this one. It’s awesome.
Sweet Valiant !! Yeah, I'm hot in tune with the stripes either.
Cheerz!!
What an awesome Valiant! And contrast to popular opinions from reading the comments, those stripes look great on that little beast!
I don’t hate it, it just doesn’t quite fit in my eyes. Wish it was straight up and down - I’d like that better.
This Dart, is cool AF!!!
Brother, that’s a Valiant. But yes
super jealous!!! one cool Plymouth
I’m in Oregon and if you want to give this Valiant a new home, I’d be happy to take it.
Yeah, I want to give this Valiant a new home - at my house, because it isn’t mine.
The car’s got what no electronic thing will ever have: character.
Damn right!
I needed a feel good Big Block Valiant video
Dome light works,cannot get any better than that car.,except maybe your charger.😊
This thing is a good bit less chunky that my Charger, so I think it's winning A to B pretty handily... I'll stick with my car for the awesome ride, and we can't forget that it's like the most beautiful thing ever engineered by man. Haha. But the Green Bean is definitely a looker too.
Sure grip with some good gears would be fun. Neat little car
383 really underrated engine
Totally agree. It’s my favorite - well, that or the 340.
