MACKAZ 1,303 Report post Posted November 4, 2011 Sick bro. I love VGs, and you've got a nice example there. I have seen a Hemi with 4.1 falcon EFI modified to fit. Maybe another Mopar for me after Ive done the Buick in 125 years time..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10Speed 3,733 Report post Posted November 4, 2011 Valiant 6's are rumored to have more power potential than the v8s (up to a point of course) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RUNAMUCK 19,578 Report post Posted August 24, 2014 Glad to hear things are finally going well for you Pete. Need to get that engine run in so you can stretch it's legs, and make it angry! (Insert emoticon doing a skid) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valiant 39,448 Report post Posted August 24, 2014 Thanks Bart, I gave it's legs a pretty decent stretch today. I'll stretch them some more next weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HighLUX 27,575 Report post Posted August 24, 2014 Shit I bet this will go rather well with a compression ratio like that and tuned to run dedicated gas. Pistons will still be that shiny in another 200tho clicks too 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valiant 39,448 Report post Posted August 24, 2014 It's amazing how clean LPG motors stay inside. I really hope it's a lot of years before I get to find out how clean this one is inside. it went well before, I think I'll book it at the LPG shop for a tune in a week or two and see how it goes after that. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HighLUX 27,575 Report post Posted August 24, 2014 W50 killingly good im going to say. Does it run a decent aftermarket ignition setup? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valiant 39,448 Report post Posted August 24, 2014 I hope my W50 continues to live, I've become quite attached to it. Yes and no. It has a Mopar orange ignition box, a new 1.4 ohm coil, and a .6 ohm ballast. It worked it out as about the same as OE. I got a belt off the coil this afternoon and it seemed solid. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CUL8R 707 Report post Posted August 24, 2014 Great to see this up and running again! How's it drive in comparason to previously? I always thought the old setup was smooth and had power to burn after you converted to lpg.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valiant 39,448 Report post Posted August 24, 2014 to be honest it feels the same, although it's been a year since I drove it last so I've totally forgotten how it was. It's smoother up over 3000rpm and seems to rev freer above that point also. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

piazzanoob 1,477 Report post Posted December 3, 2019 would be good to see this out and about again not that i have actually seen it in its flesh but ya know with your ignition side of things in the past i have found many of the old distributors have timing skatter (not consistence) or may not have the right advance curve to see the full engines power. plus are not normally a really good strong spark. in the past have fitted ICE igintion systems which is an Australian company to a 265 valiant with much success would recommend on a performance 265 not cheap too but good Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
