Featured here is Howie E's 1965 Plymouth Valiant two door sedan. Grandma's grocery getter has run a best 1/4 mile track time of 12.1 seconds at 115 MPH with a modified 340 C.I.D. V8 and six barrel carburetion. It's currently equipped with a Chrysler 360 cubic inch, 380 horsepower "crate engine" with fenderwell headers (shown below), A999 automatic transmission and 8 3/4" rear end with 3.55:1 gear ratio. As equipped, it has recently run a best time of 13.2 seconds at 108 MPH (Howie's first time out with the new engine installed). Performance was limited by traction and the 3.55:1 gears currently installed in the car. He expects to be back in the low "12's" with a shorter gear ratio and other traction tricks.
Howie's car was featured in the March 1990 issue of High Performance MOPAR. Read the article to learn more about the car as it was in 1990.
