    65 Barracuda daily driver

    I love painting stuff... I know I don't have a 340, but I was driving the car for 13 years with V8 badges even though it "only" had a slant 6. I call it wishful thinking... In the end I want to put a '65 Commando air cleaner on it, which is also not going to be 100% accurate haha.

    Radiator that will fit my 64 barracuda for a 340 upgrade

    I’m going to point this out before you order anything. The 1964 V8 cars used the same size 19” radiators as the slant 6 cars, and as such the radiator support only had a 19” opening. You will either be cutting the opening in your radiator support larger, or replacing the radiator support with a...

    Cheaper than dirt 318 build

    Go V8 then, you could dump $3,000 into that slant and still barely make 300 HP unless you added forced induction. Sounds like you know your way around modifying old engines, some guys come on here with zero experience asking the same kind of question about a SBM build/swap so we tend to be...

    How many cars with original drivetrain are on this forum?

    I started this thread to see how many and what kind of unmodified A body cars are on this forum. It is a big success. In 24 hours the thread grew to 2 pages and 25 plus unmodified Mopars came out of the shadows. The cars fell into 2 categories. First, the cars that came from the factory with a...

    V8 k member?

    Im a little rusty on this, but wouldnt that be the other way around? I thought slant 6 mounting pads were further apart than the small block pads.

    Most V8s are 130-tooth flywheels. The 143-tooth is pre-1970 HP big-block only, excluding the Hemi (172 teeth from 1966-'69). 143-tooth flywheels take an 11" clutch, which was never available with a small block. Everything V8 1970 & up uses the 130-tooth 'wheel. The above only applies to...

    360 radiator hose location

    Pass bottom inlet/top drivers outlet actaully. 70 and up v8 a body are that way,including the 360. Slants are also passenger side inlet and can be center left or right outlet throughout the years. It really depends on the platform they go in. If the radiator core spans the entire opening...you...

    Slant 6 throttle cable

    The 65 B-body Slant 6 accelerator pedal is a special animal. I believe that you need one of these expensive cables. (Maybe someone has a reasonable OEM unit?) Mopar Throttle Cable NEW 64 65 1964 1965 B Body V8 TC6465BV8 | eBay

    V/8 Swap

    Then there are those that enjoy the slant or the poly. They enjoy being different. Whats worth more? The 74 slant Duster with a transplanted stock 318 orwith the slant? Not the slant. I've been fortunate to have owned the hemi cars, the six pacs, etc. been there. I would care less if to...

    Slant-Six to LA small block conversion.

    As stated, bellhousing bolt pattern for transmission is different so that will not bolt up. /6 radiator is definitely too small especially for warmer climates. /6 torsion bars are soft even for your current engine. I strongly recommend 1.03" bars. Current driveshaft should fit if you...

    Low speed torque and driveability ?

    It just seem the premise is if you lose too much low speed torque from cams, cr, single plane, big heads, the consensus seems it's gonna hurt driveability from losing torque. Which don't make sense to me for one like you said /6, small cid V8 already have a lack of torque, they don't need a 3500...

    1967 Dart Drivetrain swap.

    I'm willing to bet you're right, It's probably a 8.25 rear end, it came out of a shorty 1500. I have a shop near me that I was going to have shorten the wheel base of that rear end. I'm not too worried about the bolt pattern that rear end does have disc brakes. And I figured as much for the...

    [WANTED] Slant 6 to 318 conversion engine brackets

    Hello everyone. I am looking for a kit to put a V8 in my 73 Dart. It has a Slant 6. I know kits are available but seem to be sold out or on backorder for the 73-74 models. Does anyone have this kit they aren't using or know if the conversion kit for the 67-72 A-body will work? Thanks for the...

    273 or 225?

    Save the motor mounts, V8 steering center link, exhaust manifolds, gas pedal and throttle cable assembly. The only body modification you might have to make is notching the torsion bar crossmember on the passenger side if you want true dual exhaust. You can do dual exhaust without doing that, but...

    My duster is officially a v8 car FINALLY!

    Finally my 360 is in the duster and is running! No transmission yet but did a bell housing modification to be able to get the the starter to bolt up to the transmission. Used a truck manual bell housing with the flywheel that came with the engine. Engine specs are: 360, .030 over, low...

    The First A body !!! Lance & Valiant

    No. Simply because the original transmission is from a slant 6 and it won't bolt to a V8.

    Will 70 Dart V8 K-member fit 65 Barracud?

    You're right! Sorry for the confusion. Not sure why I had a brain fart on that one. Here's a photo I took many years ago. I was actually able to use the slant 6 centerlink on a V8 '66 Barracuda I had a while back. Rumor has it that some factory slant cars came with the V8 centerlinks from the...

    Putting a 318 mag in 74 duster

    Nothing. Nada. The main hookups are all the same, slant 6 or V8. The only changes that may be necessary are regarding wire length- you may want to shorten some of the leads to the distributor and oil pressure sender, or just loop them up and tape them; your call. You MAY need a longer starter...

    [Found!] '72-later Slant Six bellhousing ball stud/bracket assembly

    I need the bellhousing-side ball stud/bracket assembly from a 1972 or newer Slant Six A- or F-body w/3- or 4-speed. It looks almost exactly like the V8 part, but the straight part of the shaft between the taper and bracket is around an inch long. 1971 & older won't work, nor will truck parts...

    Slant vs v8 z bar

    Does anyone have pics of the 2 side by side? Do i have to shorten or lengthen the slant 6 z bar to work?

    Universal brake booster 65 Cuda?

    do you by chance have a diameter on the 67~72 booster? and maybe the spacing from the firewall (inside or outside of bracket is fine)? i have a few 73+ and was wondering just how different all the stuff is.

    Header/manifold dyno test

    I have not experimented like that with the V8, just the slant. If I had to guess it is like everything else it is just a progression. Part of the problem is everything is intertwined. The minute you start upping the cam you start lower cylinder pressures so you should up the compression to...

    Slant six or v8 swap for use in a truck

    I love the slant and the uniqueness, it also just makes my truck seem more ratty (which is what I'm going for) I have p235 75 r15 tires on my truck, and a A833OD with a 3.23 rear end. I can't remember what it is, I think a 9 1/4 axle. But the sound of a v8 can't be replaced, the power can't...

    slant 6 to v8 swap.

    Early A ('66 and earlier) cable operated throttle linkage. Early A engine mount brackets and insulators. Early A V8 steering center link (slant 6 link is flat, V8 link has a dropped center section for oil pan clearance). Early A V8 exhaust manifolds. 22" A body V8 radiator compatible with the...
