Hi dartman Does that adapter truly fit a slant 6 to V8 LA bolt pattern

Early Slant Six Flex Plate. One crank bolt is offset compared to V8. $7 + shipping.

I actually went last Friday and picked up this pile of 383 stuff and thinking to try my hand at a rebuild. Never done it before, but ought to be able to figure it out. I got the engine and tranny separated - need to go buy an engine stand today and continue on with the disassembly. [SOLD] - 383...

I really like the 64 Dodge B bodies. If I could find one with a 273 (or even a Poly 318) it would be perfect. I would dress the 273 up like a Hypo engine and never look back. (to use your phrase) I would wave at all the guys filling up their 440 cars every hour of driving. Meanwhile mine get's...

Hey folks, I just picked up a slant 6 72 duster in great shape about 2 weeks ago. Received it with the intake and exhaust mid-repair so had to take a bit of work to get it back to turning the key. Previous owner was a super nice fella, offered to toss in a new grill, bunch of extra parts...

Hey all, Still have the hubcaps and front K member assembly, V8 torsion bars and disc brake setup is sold. Make me an offer.... Not much of a hoarder and would like the K member assembly gone, if it's not gone in a short while it'll likely go to scrap. Still have the slant 6 T-bars. Thanks Mike

it really boils down to what your level of mechanical skill and resources are. if this is your first old car and first mopar, then it might be deep waters for you. not saying it can't be done, but without traveling that road previously you'll be out of your element. just doing up a motor can...

Since you already have the conversion mounts, you'll be fine with another '73-'76 slant 6 K member. If you find a V8 K member, make sure you get the factory engine brackets with it to save yourself the trouble of hunting them down. It all comes down to where you find the best deal. Either...

Thank you, great feedback. Yes, I'm familiar with the proper technique for installing the frame connectors. Also, I built the suspension for a V8 from the start, i.e., heavier torsion bars, 8 3/4 rearend, heavier leafs, front and rear swaybars, gusseted K frame, 15" rims, front power disk...

Kinda vague, but I'll try: Assuming the slant was an automatic (904), all the shift linkages and driveshaft should bolt right on. You should even be able to tweak the trans cooler lines to fit. Assuming the motor came out of a passenger car and not a truck/van, the oil pan should be okay...

The linkage rods are the same length for the slant and V8’s. Don’t cut them. As you showed in the 1st photo, and are pointing to from the manual, you have the upper rod. Was talking about the Z bar tube length, where 3/4 to an 1 inch could be removed from a /6 Z bar to “make” a V8 Z bar. The...

I have a remote mount turbo on my 3500 quad cab 8.1 Chevy dually. The turbo is under the bed of the truck. The piping is as long as you’d imagine it would be and there is almost no turbo lag. Sizing of the hot side and turbine are FAR more important than length of tubing. Back in the 70s I think...

I got ya, I make assumptions based on my 67, but I try to get the info first, I'm not perfect. Like answering a slant 6 question based on V8 knowledge. Op did not point out that they were working on a slant but they posted the question in the slant 6 forum, I missed that little part :lol: I...

Just putting this in the post as an FYI to Dodgelad, Volaredon and anyone else interested. The single pulley slant six compressor clutch assembly is about impossible to find new. I am currently using a compressor with a dual pulley v8 compressor clutch on the slant in the D150. When mounted...

Hey Karl Yes to all of the above 318 (1971) Have an Early-A V8 radiator Swapped in a cast iron water pump (driver side discharge) Using the early timing chain cover with timing bracket (passenger side) Water pump pulley is correct... seems the crank pulley I have is not

Quick public service announcement for anyone who's been waiting on the spool style ('73+) slant to V8 conversion mounts. They are available again. I ordered these last week '73+ A, B, F, M, J-Body Slant 6 to 273/318 or 340/360 and they showed up today.

Please quit repeating what you have read on the internet, I had a 5th ave 1985 no 302 heads or roller block. If the OP heard the engine run, best way to get the truck going on the cheap is to just drop the V8 in and feel the difference. It will not be huge, but not slant-sick powered, not...

Shoot brother you know I'd pay for the gas for a ride! Did you end up using that rare Factory head on that car did you shelf that thing?

I tend to agree, BUT you really touched on it that it doesn't take much for these little cars to GO, especially the early As. I'm continually impressed with Vixen's slant 6. I know it's not a V8 and never will be, but its torque curve is way different. That makes it very impressive. Even Kitty...

For Sale: Schumacher Slant 6 to V8 conversion mounts. Converts 67-72 A- Body S6 to 340/360 Grade 8 bolts included. No longer available. $175.00 shipped.

Figure on 1970 up with a aluminum body, case, for a 727 to fit behind a slant 6, in taxis, trucks, industrial usage. Before that an adapter was used behind the slant 6, to mate to a V8 727 transmission.

Awesome Thank you!

Still looking! I know I already did this sometime. Anyway, there are like 3 different radiators. There was an 18" radiator that only came with the slant 6's, a 22" radiator that came with V8's and AC slant six's, and the 26" radiator that came out for the 73+ V8 AC cars. I'm pretty sure...

Aces!!!!

Your 74 will have the spool type motor mounts. You need a 73+ V8 K frame. The only two options were slant six and V8 K frame so any v8 K from an A body will work. You could install an earlier K but would have to get the matching motor mounts. Does your car have a front sway bar?

I appreciate that! Thanks

Yup . This slanty just wants to run.

I have a pet chicken for sale for $35,000. Is that a good price?? It is compared to the one the neighbor is asking $40000 for. But everything is worth more in Texas ya know. My opinion of buying a "restored" classic car co. somewhat resembles my desire to buy a car from the new car...

Can you post a picture of the trans. As far as I know the slant six 727 wasn't available until about 1968 (might be off one year). That trans did not have cable shift, or B&T flange. As you are aware, prior to the SS 727, Chrysler used the small block 727 with the adapter. PS: Thinking about it...

Every single one of us gets answers wrong sometimes. Me, you…everyone. Look here; I got an answer wrong just the other day. Y'really gonna go take your marbles and flounce off just because someone else got it right this time? What are you, nine? Come off it, dude. I never claimed to be god of...
