There's a reason val enthusiasts are called TAVOs.. (TIGHT ARSED VALIANT OWNER). 😂😉 Yeah always loved the old valiants, but equally not opposed to Holden's (had an HX monaro and SLR 5000 previously) from the same era.. or Fords... however the 340 SB still the best small block V8 from that era 😏

The HX is an almost Sandman... everything but the GVM is correct. Oh well 🤷*♂️😂 but I never bought it as a Sandman so all good. It'll be a complete rebuild and ill post regular updates as i go 👍
