Super Six install pics
this is the old single barrel slant coming out. You do not have to pull the engine to install a super six set up. But i had a cam to install.
intake and exhaust manifolds come off
I couldn’t get the exhaust bolts undone so I cut it off.
this pic shows the orientation of the old choke. But you will need a choke specific for the super six set up because the pushrod will have to orient differently-towards the front of the car.
the new 2bl intake manifold and the Doug Dutra Dual exhaust set up. Doug makes it so these two pieces bolt right in where the old one piece exhst manifold used to be. This allows you to go to a dual exhaust set up
with the new 2 barrel 1081 Carb in place. I bought one new from member Slant Six Dan. Remanufactured ones from the store can be crap.
Once your manifolds are bolted in you can start hooking up the kickdown linkage. The super six conversion requires its own special kickdown linkage.
the linkage as it connects to the the carb. Also notice the two holes in the manifold just below the linkage. You will have to get an EGR block-off plate to cover these holes.
this is where the kickdown linkage attaches to the transmission.
the kickdown linkage going down to the transmission. You can also see the new shorter accelerator cable. For an A body, a super six conversion requires a shorter cable. Anyone from a V-8 small block will do. For a B-Body super six conversion, you can keep the cable it has since it reaches the carb correctly.
with both exhaust pipes hooked up.
so here's what you will need to complete your conversion:
two barrel intake manifold
two barrel carb
two barrel air cleaner
super six choke
egr block-off plate
shorter V8 accelerator cable (for A body)
kickdown linkage from tranny to carb
exhaust manifold- you can keep singular or go to a dual set up with
Dutra Duals or Headers from clifford are available
once it's all in you will enjoy a "meaner sounding" and slightly better performing slant six. Plus it looks cool at the car show. Everyone has great V-8s. Rarely do they see a dual exhaust slant six.
hope this helps ya"ll. Feel free to ask questions. I've done two of these conversions and can help talk you through them. God Bless
