I know, that was the initial plan to go sleeper. But when the hood won't close, you have to make some adjustments

I'm familiar with the Schumacher tri Y headers, but to answer your question, those are TTY 2" primary under chassis.

Damn, thats a great clean build, I'm diggin it!
Really like the A bodys. Yours looks like a very nicely done project. Had a half dozen different Valiants over the last 20 years. Two of my favorites were a 65 post car with a hot rod slant, did high twelves/low 13s in quarter and a 68 similar to yours with a 440/4speed. The 68 would run 12.30s all day long (as long as I didnt break anything). Broke half dozen U-joints, three 8-3/4 pumpkins, and twisted 2 axle shafts before I installed a built Dana 60 out of a Dodge truck. No more broken rearends after that.

This one has a 489 case with aftermarket axles so I'm hoping it'll hold. Plus not being a 4 speed, the "shock" shouldn't be too bad.
Automatic oughta be a little nicer than the 4-speed/500+HP 440 I had in mine. Had 14 x 32 slicks too. Little car hooked good and was always breakn parts. Saw lots of sky coming off the line. Makes me wish I still had the car.
