Looks like a good project car. Got a soft spot for the Valiant Chargers and Pacers. Great cars and very underated. Quarter mile times were slightly quicker for the E49 than Ford XY GTHO. Not bad for a OHV straight 6 with not a lot of work to the motor. From what I remember the specs were Hemi 265ci motor, triple dual throat Webbers, extractors, double valve springs and a slight cam with about 320HP on tap.
Drove an E38 in the 70s and it was unbelievably quick for a 6. The 4 speed manual gearbox made a big difference in the quarter mile times over the earlier E37 and E38 manual 3 speeds.
A good combo is the 727 torque flyte auto box behind the 265. Forget the triple carbs as they are a pain in the arse and go for the 4 barrel Holley.

From the specs there's a significant performance increase with the triples, but agree completely they're a pain to setup and well above my skills. But the wanker in me (and it is significant) wants to put the 6 pack badges on... So triple it be :-)
Fuck I love chargers! they were second on my list after the xa coupe... And I found that first.
go the triples I say, it's the only way for a charger
