Search results for query: slant to v8

Looks like it Dan. Strange thing to be sitting in the middle of Montana. The rest he sent pictures of is fairly easy to identify. 8 3/4 of unknown origin, V8 K member I don’t need. Slant A833. If I head over there I be sure to ask if there is another 6 lying around.

Even the V8 you can’t get over 18 initial. They are precise and repeatable but not accurate on the specified value.

I'm sorry but this is just plain wrong.

all ones coming up in my search for slant 6 / 904 converters are 10 -11.25 inch range . And stall all over the place . Bud not seeing what stock was . My guess 1500 ish ?

Ran the Engine Hoist over to Brain's so he could pull the Slant 6 out of Jim the bodyman's '74 Dart Swinger. Getting things ready to do the V8 conversion next. 318 Engine, 904 trans and spool mount V8 K-member ready to go.

It would be helpful to know the appropriate year/car it came from and some pics to said K. i can safely say that if it’s a 63/66 K frame it’s the same for slant and V8 just motor mounts are different

I think it's amazing you've left it a slant 6 car and are happy with it. Didn't you say elsewhere in the thread you plan to do a V8 swap? Either way, it's a nice car and you've done a great job on it. I'd have to leave it slant 6 powered just to be different. lol

Go see a shrink and get yur head straight. Fix the minor leaks and drive it. You will lose a pile on the slant and cost a pile doing the swap.

Just trying to help. We don't know how much you know or don't. I lost count of how many want to swap a V8 in place of a /6 and don't know the transmissions are different. I'm out.

So sorry for the confusion. That is a slant six k frame for a 75 dart. It looks like a v8 because the v8 mounts are just set on top. I am cleaning up the slant k frame to reverse a v8 swap. My 75 dart was a slant car but someone v8 swapped it and now I finally found a slant k frame to...

I guess just getting the car running and really working on it down the road/as issues arise. The car itself is in great shape, just the 225 seized up, I bought a new slant core for 50$ and intended to hot rod it out a little, and get some power out of it. But now that this deal has presented...

Dude, we should talk! Also in Orange County, CA (RSM) and I've gone the other direction.. Done with 360s and very much enjoying my slant powered car.. I've got a bone stock 5.9L magnum, and a reasonably built 360/904 combo from my 67 barracuda that came out after a reckless teen driver crunched...

According to your V.I.N., your car is the 5,267th car built for the 1973 model year in Hamtramck Michigan. A very early August build for the model year. Also, according to the V.I.N, it is a 318 V8 car so it should have big bolt pattern wheels on it, probably the standard 4 1/2'' wide. BTW, all...

Sorry, Evan.... The A body was originally designed for the slant six so there actually are 2 types of center links. The shallow offset one is the slant six version. The deeper offset works on both slant six and V8 models.

I would have a competent mechanic/person checkout the health of your engine, as in compression/leakdown, and IF good, get it running as it should. If bad, its your nickle as to what to rebuild, but like mentioned there is a lot of things to change if going v8 from that slant. Plus the cost of...

Doesn't state engine. Absence of a V8 badge suggests it is a slant. But who knows? The alloy wheels suggest it is converted to BBP, unless he just crammed on a set of 5 x 100mm rims (actually on second glance, I see 10 lug holes, so maybe he had them drilled dual-pattern). Very little detail...

How much do you want to keep running a slant-6? The 225 is inherently inefficient by design with the super-long stroke and heavy rotating assembly. If I was to ever intentionally own a slant it would be the 170 variant. I think that would be the best bang-for-buck move in search for MPG and...

No. They did have adapter plates to mount a V8 727, mid 60's truck. Hard to find but they are out there. Pretty sure they are the small block pattern.So the A500 should work. The guys on the Slant 6 thread can help with that info. As far as your converter question I don't think a 11'' converter...

Not only a niche market, but how many of those guys are willing to pay $1500+ for a deal like that when they could swap in a V8 for similar money? Probably less than 10%. Now of that 10% niche of a niche market, how many of them have the cash? Needle in a haystack type deal if you ask me.

I love slant sixes, unfortunately most were replaced by V8's. I've had several slant six A-Bodies. I balanced and blueprinted my first 225 A-Body (mom's grocery getter & my avatar). Clifford Research headers, Offy manifold, Holley 650, 4 speed & 8.75" rear, Mallory electronic ignition. It...

I have a 67 Barracuda with a 273 Commando & 4-speed. It has the 9.5" bellhousing and clutch at the moment. I'm building a 340/416 with mildly ported J heads that I intend to paint Chrysler red with 273 Commando valve covers and air-cleaner etc. The motor should make around 420hp and 480tq, the...

Well.. for me it's going to cost me 5-6k (without rebuilding my bottom end which has unknown miles and might be junk) to hopefully make 400hp... there was a running 440 still in a car with trans near me for $650 last week and normally 1100ish.. big block is cheaper by far for money per power...

Hi guys i have a very nice 1986 s6 904 and a v8 904 with a 2000/ 2 200 stall, do all internal parts of the s6 904 fits the v8 904 ? Its to bolt on a 350 hp 360 engine....read that the s6 904 as a better 1st gear ration than the v8 one....thanks guys kinda new to 904s , can just buy a 727 but...

It's essentially a bolt-in swap with a couple of exceptions. The 63 has a different wiper motor mount on the firewall that was revised for 64 to accommodate the V8 (distributor clearance). Also the 63 only had a 19" radiator where the 64 and later cars would accept a 22" radiator. Later slant...

Most of the mini starter installs on the slant do not require any of the extensions. On most V8 installs, it is easier to connect the wires if you use the extensions that relocate the terminals towards the end of the starter.

Hi, where do you find the crankshaft hub register adapters? I have a 73 318 in a 64 dart that had a 273. I made a temp adapter but am looking for a real replacement. The previous owner did the work and I had a vibe traced back to the tq converter hub being smaller than the crankshaft opening. Thanks

I took some photos before I took it out of the (very gross) slant transmission to put it in the V8 one. I hope this helps.

OK, so this would be a 360 Magnum crate engine and a new transmission, so pre-'68 comment I don't think applies (unless I'm misinterpreting it). TCI tells me that this A904 will bolt up to 360 Magnum and small block LA, same pattern. Re the FI, I will be using aftermarket FuelTech throttle...

Hey all, I am a teenager who is starting my car building journey! I daily a 1986 Honda, but my pride and joy is a 1966 Dart 270 2 door hardtop. It's originally a slant 6 car, but after some unforeseen issues with the motor, I have decided to take the opportunity to 360 swap it. The motor I have...

I'm done with helping Slant six people here because I'll have some jackwad come in and say only so and so is right. Dumb. Just give everybody Dan's phone number and skip the site ...because he's "God of slant sixes". Don't worry slantys... I'll go back to lowsom v8's where nothing could...
