I know what you mean. It seems like it's always something. Hope you get it sorted out so you can start enjoying your car again.

Their swap mounts are designed for SB or Slant 6 k frames, the reproduction mount that I referred to is a reproduction of the original factory BB mount, for use on the factory BB K frame..

I have a 1964 plymouth Valiant no post slant six. I'm building a 1968 340. Will it fit like you say ? Or what do I need to do to make the mods in order to run this motor in my 64 ?

Hello @myduster360, I just joined FABO after discovering this Swinger V6 on YTube - beautiful job! Long story short - I’ve been brainstorming the perfect car to scratch my fun-driver itch and have been schooled by a good friend on the inherent goodness of the old A-Body MoPar chassis. I’m...

motor and trans together probably 800-ish it's a cool piece, but there's a very narrow audience out there for it. you could likely make a little more parting it, but that's a bunch of work for not a whole bunch more dough-- and then you're left with basically a block and you gotta get rid of...

...would be more worthwhile. It is not that hard to changeout the K and thus suspension. You need v8 suspension? as is maybe discs, T bat, etc????? Going from slant to v8 you will want correct radiator and the 7 1/4 will maybe prove small. There are a millions threads on such swaps.

Ok so I had an extra front frame rail that had the right radiator support. After measuring I realized that there is a 3 " difference between the v8 cars and the slant 6 in the radiator opening. Luckily the extra was a v8. So I'm going to cut out and put the new one in. This should give me the...

Slant six cars got a much smaller opening in the rad yoke for the rad than the V8 cars. If you want to put a V8 in what was originally a /6 car, you need a bigger rad opening. So check the junkyards for a car originally equipped V8 and have them remove the rad yoke side panels. Install those...

Yes you can, as long as they’re both push buttons from the same year. 63-65 all interchange internally. 62 and older gets iffy. The cables for the slant 6 and small block are the same even. Though routing is different so may have to move a bracket here or there. Big block are longer. I would...

Here is a printout of an electronic kit from Rick Ehrenberg:

I have a couple to sell. Early? Smaller lid, top only, power coated black. $40 SHIPPED in the US. Larger 11 x 4 Lid and base. Lid is power coated silver has a vent nipple. Base for a 1 barrel is power coated black. $50 plus shipping. I will get you a quote based on your address. It will not fit...

My wife bought the car from her mom which was a 69 Dodge Charger 318 automatic. The car was originally a Missouri rental car. It had a 7.25 rear end.

I'd agree if he didn't have to pull the six anyways, so I don't see the swap should hinder his decision since either engine he has to do one. If he feels staying with six fills his needs and don't see a v8 swap in his future then I'd say go for it.

Growing up, my dad had a 1962 Valiant that he totaled, then a 1964 Valiant and a 1964 Stepside Dodge D100, all with 225 /6s. He let me help him rebuild the slant in the 1964 Valiant that he bought used. Don't know how many times the odometer had tripped by that point but we found two broken...

Slant 6 clutch is different than the v-8 clutch Bell housing I need to check on the PN. Unless someone else chimes in. Other than wiring harness - this is not non- reversible. Just some work, that’s all. But you know what they say- go V8 and never look back. Syleng1

My advice is focused on you having a hard pedal but ineffective stopping power,,,,if that isn't the case then Ignore me. But,,,The nine inch brakes just don't don't work well with any wheels larger than the original 13 inch rim. i know, as I have a 71 demon slant six that would stop only very...

I used to argue all the time with V8 guys when I was a slanter. It's not that the slant 6 can beat every engine out there when modified because it can't it's just that it's so neat it can go down the road as fast as it can when you do the right things. Obviously a lot of that reliability starts...

Slant blew the #6 rod out the side of the block after 58 years of service (64’ Valiant Wagon). It is time to V8 swap. I have everything I need for the swap with the exception of the V8 gas pedal assembly. Having a hard time tracking it down. Looking for one or an easy alternative.

here is how Elko performance in Australia do it variable rate rack off a holden, you can have power or manual this is what the advert said $1295 -AP6 & VC slant 6 Valiant Rack & Pinion setup- 1 only- Includes Modified k frame, power rack tie rod ends intermediate shaft steering knuckles...

Ah - forgot the 65 trans took a ball and trunnion front joint. But, yeah. There's also pulleys and brackets. Will the 77 360's pulleys and brackets fit in a 65 Valiant??? Don't know. May well not, especially if the 77 had A/C. Might need to scrounge around a bit to find what you need. And...

Probably. Unless the drums were swapped on. These cars are like 50 years old so a lot can happen. Someone that ordered the car talked the dealership into taking the disks off, some drag racer thought they needed drums for less rolling resistance, somebody was parting this car and stole the...

Hi, I’m still learning the ins and outs of classic cars so I wanted to ask about the possible engines a Feather Duster could have? I found a 1976 Plymouth Duster for sale that needs some work but I’m looking for a Feather Duster so I wanted to confirm it was one before I inquired about it. I...

What I know of 1963 to 1966 has the same cross member.

Assuming both are automatics- get the transmission from the Diplomat, too. The slant 6 transmission will not fit a V8. Since the 318 is a 1987, it may still have the Lean Burn system on it, which you will most likely want to delete- all this will involve is an earlier electronic ignition...

Nice sounding Leaning Tower Of Power Rusty. I like v8's but that has a nice sound. To @tandart66, If I had a 66 (which I have) I wouldn't transplant a 65 drive train in it. I would go 66 or newer. 65 273's are different than the 66 and newer ones. The heads, intake, transmission, linkage and...

Sorry all for lack of info,it originally had a slant 6 with 3 speed,I imagine rear was small but not sure,do the motor mount kits to swap a V8 or do i need to change k member? Also what size headers for 3inch exhaust? Also would love to have 15 inch wheels and large rear good for street and...

I’m in Indy, could use this setup

What kind of mechanical abilities do you have? Have you ever done a motor swap, or transmission repair/adjustment?

Yup, or, get a '66 V8 parts car to do the changeover, or, just buy a '66 Dart with a V8 already in it.

Yes, thank you, I'm aware that the GM HEI system is superior, I've seen the testing and so forth on slant six forum, great stuff. So, do you know why 3 ohms would be specified for 4 and 6 cylinders and lower resistance for v8's? That's the part I don't get. Why would one not want more spark...
