Clutch possibly. Bellhousing no, flywheel no. The bolt pattern on the bell to engine is different, and as stated the bolt holes in the flywheel are different. Also the center hole in the flywheel got larger between 67 and 68, on both the small block and slant six. Also the bell, flywheel and...

No direct experience with the slant 6 bellhousing, but if the linkages remain similar to the V8 linkage set-up, expect to relocate the bellhousing ballstud/bracket to align with the frame ballstud, and probably need to narrow the Z bar to fit. May have to "adjust" the linkage rod lengths a bit...

I did the same thing on my 75 Dart Sport. It started out as a slant six car and I installed a big block using the Schumacher conversion mounts. Ran it that way a few years and then removed the big block when it wiped a flat tappet cam lobe. Big block is on hold for a while and had a 360 small...

Ha, I hear you, it'll be a V8 swap before a 4 barrel on the slant!

Fan, shroud and radiator in for the last time. I checked 15 ways to make sure the fan was the right way around as I have no desire to pull this all apart again. Transmission cooler lines for a Duster needed to massaged a lot but they will work. Cut out the Sportsman door panel panels. I know...

Hello, Thanks for checking in. Yes, I still have the car. This is the most exciting one to drive in my fleet. I don't think I will be selling it for at least 40 years if things remain as they are. I have not updated here, because I have not done anything with it. Parts cars, shows,, work...

i've seen what some of those tv guys do when working on mopars.. i wouldn't follow anything those guys do or say.

Did it on my 76 D100 Truck when going from a slant 6 to a 318 V8 factory truck radiator. Cut out 1 1/2" on the driver's side of the radiator core support so the opening would fit the larger radiator. ☆☆☆☆☆

Very true. Even for a guy that has Slant Sixness like me. I completely understand the whys and how come for wanting a change.For me it is a ok, did the Slants enough now it's time for V8. I will agree that you may be able to sell it off to the right guy for a $500 to maybe $800 max if someone...

I got the V8 filter today (bottom). I'd say they are pretty much the same size, thickness etc despite having different part numbers printed on them. The V8 one seems to be made from a different material though. It's not as fuzzy and the color is slightly different, but my guess is that there...

It used to be easier to find a guy with a GOOD running slant that the owner wants it out of his garage, would sell it cheap or even give it away! They are out there. BUT don't get such and spend un needed $ on it! That is the reason to find good slant and NOT build one! IF you love the...

It's a part of Mopar that I like to say I've "done it" as in... had a slant 6 car. Cool leaning tower. But the v8 rumble I fondly remember from my 440 Charger has too much pull to ignore. Now i'll be able to say i've had a Mopar in each category - SB, BB, S6 ‍

When Alan sets out to do something, it happens rapidly. I'm all for this project, even though I didn't really have problems with the slant (other than dropping in a rebuilt 68 unit because of massive oil consumption). Since it no longer has the original engine, and I carried out other mods like...

I get it man. Believe me. I've had more than my share.

Easy way to fix rocker arm breakage in a slant six- swap out /6 for a V8. Drop slant in Ocean for boat anchor. LMAO! I’m surprised nobody has said this yet! Lol!

temps outside are a bit milder today so i went out and messed with the dart some. its had a slant six fan shroud on it for years wich only allowed a 17" fan. was never impressed with the air it pulled. ordered a V8 shroud from mancini and i have a couple 18" fans i wanted to try...

I’ve seen a video of your car running and it sounds great! What are the cam specs on it?

Looking to V8 swap from the slant 6 in my 64’ Valiant and need V8 swap parts. Looking for V8 center link (drag link) and 273 mounts.

I appreciate any info. I have access to a 360 truck engine with an automatic crank, so I know i'll need a bushing for the trans output shaft and probably a bell housing for a manual shifter. I'm pretty green when it comes to this.

Tough decision. Cost would be #1. It all has to do with budget. Ask yourself, would I be happy with a Slant ? Am I really a V8 guy ? Last is what plan for the future of this car ? This about sums it up. If you have not invested anything in the Slant Six engine or the parts car yet, may be the...

If you swapped in the 273, you might want to hunt down a pair of 67 of later heads because of the intake issue. Another thing to consider is the earlier 273s had a smaller crankshaft register than the later ones. Something else to consider as mentioned earlier is get a 5.2 or 5.9 and build...

Hey everyone, I am in search to purchase a 340/360 complete with auto trans or manual for my 65 dart that comes with slant 6 or any v8 if you have any that I can just drop in. I already have couple different K members to use. Any help would be appreicated

And I’ll add, if you’re going to use that later style swing pedal and weld a spoon onto the end, it will still not work with your early pedal. The slant 6 pedal has a trough on the back to accommodate the roller mechanism from the slant linkage setup. Only the V8 pedal has the flat plastic rub...

Hello everyone new to the forum. I have a 69 dart build going on now. Was a slant 6 car now 318 with 268h cam, performer rpm intake, a little 450cfm quick fuel, A41 4L60E 4-speed transmission, haven't decided Doug or headman headers yet. She will be running 26x7.50r15's up front 90/10 shocks...

Incorrect Go to manciniracing.com where you can find swap kits/motor mounts. Get a bigger radiator while your at it. As mentioned, Mancini also has upgraded ignition kits containing everything you’ll need to ditch the problematic lean burn in favor of the better electronic ignition and...

if you can get the slant K with the carcass that's a score for sure, bars are a double plus. if they aren't slant bars (lighter weight) i'm sure somebody will trade theirs for some V8 bars, or you can scoop slant bars pretty cheap. if they have the K, they might have some other bits and bobs...

Having hot rodded both engines, I'd do the 273 swap in a heartbeat since you have a 273 donor car where you can get all the special V8 parts. The only problem, and not really a problem, with a 65 273 is finding an intake manifold and there are work arounds for that as well. A 65 273 should...

In your 1st post you said you plan rebuilding the /6, or you mean just going over it while in the car?

Over the decades I have had many and and all flavors of Mopar engines and car models, and I have loved them all for what they were. Power per $, hard to beat a decent small block. Best v8 mileage (highway) was 18 (doing 75 and up from Ca. to Mo.) in a 67 383 Cuda 4 speed with 2.94 gears. Best...

I get it, have been looking into this same idea myself. To not follow the crowd, keep a numbers matching drive train is very appealing. Then I talk to the machine shops and they say I am spending a lot of money for something that I won't get much out of and in the long run won't be happy with...
