Tech Questionrobert, bay area, CA, 1963 Valiant Signet 200 convt 318? Hello, I realize you get some silly questions...I just bought a red 1963 Signet 200 convertible, V-8. This car I believe to be a Canadian model. It runs, needs work, is all there, looks to be almost totally original, with the exception of a Mallory ignition. What I would like to know is how many of these were built as factory V-8s ? Were they ever sold in the U.S.? I believe it has the original engine in it, that would be a 318, I'm guessing? Thanks, Robert Robert: There are no silly questions, just plowing ahead on something without asking. Anyway, just like your e-mail address, the net was ZERO. The first Valiant V-8 was introduced mid-1964, and was a 273. Including Canada. Until that intro date, all Valiants were slant sixes. All. Rick
