Search results for query: slant to v8

don't think you need to worry about hardened seats in an iron head if your valves are modern stainless valves. i'm saying this based on discussions i had when i had my head done. and of course the guy who did my head may be wrong the gist of it was modern stainless valves have valve heads...

My recollection is that 60-61 front suspensions are different, but 62 Valiants/Lancers had front suspensions that are interchangeable with 63 through 72. I believe rears are interchangeable 60-76. Not sure about the front spring eyes on the 60-62. (I do know the rear gears are unique to the...

Ha! My life has gotten a bit too safe. I like doing the timing and wondering when one of those blades is going to impale me. So is the issue that the pre 70 V8's had the intake hose on the other side of the engine? Can I just take my /6 radiator to shop and have a core added or beefed up in...

I don't think any cam maker refers to anything they have as "RV cams" anymore. There Are a few out there that would fit that bill ... I had my original cam reground into what is considered a pretty good "RV cam". I keep thinking about adding a small turbo to it once it's all broken in, N/A...

found this car like 10 miles from me. is this a 68 fender on a 67 slant dart? or did the 67 slant cars come with the round marker light? also....I'm assuming a 70 front V8 K member will bolt up and the 8 3/4 rearend from same year will bolt in as well? I also have several 69 parts like...

As long as its a V8 K frame and not a slant six, its simple. (For a 340)You just get a set of 340 or 73+ 360 mounts or you can use 318 mounts but you will have to shim one side with washers. If you have a slant K its going to take some modifications since one mount on a slant sits higher.

he's effectively hamstrung himself with the extremely limited criteria he feels acceptable. clean and rust free 70~72 dart, 70~74 duster, 70~73 scamp must have V8, AT, PS & AC (might as well put PB in there too) budget is 22K which should be doable. but he refuses to expand his search beyond...

My 72 Duster was a slant six with three speed. I converted it to a 360 and 4 speed. The V8 is wider so I cut something like 3/4” off the hollow tube of the torque shaft to fit.

There's something nice about having a simple cruiser. It definitely could use a little more power but its fun to putt around in. I do have a 440 that I'm building that will eventually go in it. But I'm still collecting parts so that will be way further down the line. It is surprising how many...

A while back I was asking for advice on fitting a small block V8 into my 1966 AP6 Australian Valiant, but after looking into all the hassles with needing to get the car certified (New Zealand), I can't be bothered with it. Bit if I repower with a slant 6, everything would be hassle free. I...

50th anniversary of Bike Week I rolled my buddies Duster (cuz he was drunk) slant 6 3 speed thing had ladder bars on the back man! Not them slapper (traction bars),actual ladder bar suspension! Tri-Y and Offy intake with a 600 on it, sum kinda Cam, lol. Guy's name was Anthony his dad had a super...

The k-frame is the same between slant 6 and V8 cars 64-66....but the center link is different on V8 cars and drops down. Some have claimed to have a drop center link on slant 6 cars too or vise versa, but the V8 has a drop center link unique to the 64-66 cars. The engine mounts from a V8 will...

Mine would have to have a V8. The slant has gone the way of the dinosaur. Nice rims and tires. Kim

Thanks. It would need to be a '73 or later V8 k-frame to be useful to me. I do have a k-frame I modified years ago that I could use for sections if need be. Won't work in this project but might be worth the metal.

Yes you shouldn't have any issues. I have V8 to slant "schumacher" mounts if you do Have issues. also V8 k-members and mounts. I am in Pa. Neighbor

doesnt get much more different then this all kidding aside, i think a turbo would be the easiest to get her there...but imagine the looks you will get with that scoop popping out the hood in the odd place

A slant and LA/Magnum/BB starter are interchangeable. Longer ones were the high torque. The late model MagnumV6/V8 starters were the ones to stick in early mopars, smaller and more power. I didn't realize they were the same as a 5.7 but an A engine trans will bolt up to a 5.7 and the starter...

Don't waste your time doing anything with that slant 6 other than taking it out and throwing it in the dumpster. The G3 will certainly cost more, but you won't be disappointed with a V8 over the /6. You will be disappointed that the /6 will still be turd after you spend all that money on it.

I know some early-a slant six cars with AC came with a V8 throttle pedal and bracket assembly like the one pictured, but your pictures it’s hard to see the part that bolts to the firewall, doesn’t look right to me. Has the bracket been modified it is it a newer pedal assembly? Your pedal is...

my wife & daughter get such a kick out of how many people have to stop & ask about our little 6. usually end up with one of 3 questions. how much horsepower? how quick in the 1/4? or how's the gas mileage? LOL We have more fun with this little car, than I ever did with the Big Block in the...

Your talking to a guy if I ever got rich .that would put a slant in a superbird just to piss off the purists lol

Through 66, slant sixes had a rod, not a cable. If the OP is working on a 65 Barracuda, he will need the V8 accelerator pedal, V8 throttle cable firewall bracket, and an A body V8 cable, preferably a four barrel cable. Repop 340 cable will work just fine. Edit, if you don't care about...

Thanks, once in a while I keep looking at the title of this thread and this car hasn't been a daily driver in well over a year. I bought another car to get around that also needs some attention here and there. First I was struggling to get the exhaust installed and then the freshly rebuilt...

Future profit is no concern to the project. I am aware of the desirability of the car. Fun cruiser is probably where I'm at. Have always wanted an older rwd 2dr v8 muscle car, and the Dart fits what I've wanted closer than my 56 Packard Clipper with a blown tranny. I think my biggest hurdle is...

Here's where the bug got me........ My first car at 15 was a 1971 Gold Charger. I was too young to get my licence, so my dad plated and insured it as the family car until I was old enough. We put in a set of buckets, and retrofitted it with a Cordoba console and I managed to drive it for...

Yes it has the front sway bar.

I'm well aware of this, but what's wrong with being prepared? If it's a V/8 car I want to be able to be on it quick and if I have my information ahead of time I'll have something to bargain with. I even said this at beginning of this thread that I wasn't trying to jump the gun. With the car...

Yes my car has the slant 6 k member in it. I want to put a small block in without changing the k member.

EDIT: READ PAST THIS FIRST SECTION Sorry, no You went to a lot of work for nothing. The dual pickup dist (so far as I know) has no advance mechanism, and was designed to work with lean burn. You need to find a "regular" single pickup dist with vacuum and mechanical advance, and...

Need help with correct engine mount brackets for 72 Plymouth scamp (abody). car was originally slant 6 and I now have a v8 k member and a 67’ 318 block … they fit on the block but not don’t meet up with k frame..I’ve added a pic of the “318 mount brackets” and also the ones in picture bolted to...
