    And So It Begins....

    Well, we all know a slant 6 will never be a V8, so trash talking the little motors is pretty childish, because people build them because they love them and love being different. It kills me every time someone new walks up to Vixen and asks before I open the hood.......318? 340? and then I open...

    Is a 7.25 rear strong enough?

    A decent 318 will kill the 7.25 with 205 70r 14s. Been there done that. Know others that have done the same. Takes the spiders out and car needs to be towed. The 7.25 works for slant six cars and should be discarded In most v8 applications as the factory did.

    Best brake booster

    Are you looking for a replacement booster for an existing factory power brake system? Or are you adding power to a factory manual brake car? Is it a slant 6 or a V8? If it's a replacement, there are no new ones. Your best bet would be to send it to Booster Dewy and have it rebuilt...

    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    Putting the V8 in. I'm going to keep the /6 drive train so once I am up and running with the 273 I want to get the other items fixed and find a roller to put them in

    1962 Valiant Suspension/Brake Swap Options with other A-bodies

    Can't run a slant six trans behind a V8. Need a 64-5 small block V8 pushbutton trans and an adapter ring around the torque converter hub to fit in a later V8 crank. Can't remember what year they changed, thinking 68, but will have to look it up. Or someone could chime in before I get a chance...

    Dual Exhaust for 360 in '67 Dart

    Wow, great stuff, thank you everyone. I think I'm using that Quiet Flow muffler on my slant 6 system now. I use Dutra Duals and have a custom made header down to single 2 1/2" collector. FYI, I had bad resonance/drone right under the driver seat. To fix that, I cut out a 3 ft straight...

    Narrow A Body 360 Oil Pan

    It's the steering arm off the gear box that is hitting the pan. I am asking for a friend. Appreciate the info.

    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    I’m curious as to why people feel it’s cheaper? Having multiple ongoing projects that I bounce between, LA stuff often costs the same as BB stuff, sometimes more, sometimes less. It’s pretty much a wash. I mean brake, t-bar and rear end upgrades all still need to be done in most slant 6 to V8...

    V/8 Swap

    Good thing we all are not holding our breath to see what Mopar Dan has this week… And nothing wrong with V8 swapping a slant. My 70 B5 Duster is a 74 360 swapped car.

    Making kickdown lever for carb

    Is this a Super Six Kickdown? - Page 4 - Slant Six Forum Picture at bottom. Tranny lever piviot point distance 2.40 inches. carb piviot points just at 1.20 to 1.40 or just about half of distance of tranny lever. So not 1 to 1 movement ratio. This info for 1974 up slant six 318 v8 with...

    Did I mess up buying this rust bucket?

    Why not leave it a slant, maybe juiced up a bit and drive and enjoy it. Adding more power from a decent V8 entails more than just a motor swap - better brakes cooling and V8 transmission come to mind.

    Better acceleration?

    Can you explain to me what a Wildcat head is. There was a company by the name of Wildcat that manufactured a head for the Rover V8 engines which vastly improved flow. Based in England I believe so they probably did not take notice of the out of production slants.

    Anyone look at an XJ cherokee rear end for a BBP conversion?

    Hey guys, I'm looking at options for my duster when I do a front disc brake conversion to get the BBP in the rear. I'm reading through the ford 8.8 thread, but I also had an epiphany late last night. I looked it up, and an XJ cherokee has the 5x4.5 bolt pattern, a centered pumpkin, and a...

    It's a ball and trunniion Yeah, I'm pretty much of the opinion that the slant 904 is cursed of demons. I need to burn some sage or hire an exorcist for that thing

    65 Barracuda daily driver

    I love painting stuff... I know I don't have a 340, but I was driving the car for 13 years with V8 badges even though it "only" had a slant 6. I call it wishful thinking... In the end I want to put a '65 Commando air cleaner on it, which is also not going to be 100% accurate haha.

    Radiator that will fit my 64 barracuda for a 340 upgrade

    I’m going to point this out before you order anything. The 1964 V8 cars used the same size 19” radiators as the slant 6 cars, and as such the radiator support only had a 19” opening. You will either be cutting the opening in your radiator support larger, or replacing the radiator support with a...

    V8 k member?

    Im a little rusty on this, but wouldnt that be the other way around? I thought slant 6 mounting pads were further apart than the small block pads.

    How many cars with original drivetrain are on this forum?

    I started this thread to see how many and what kind of unmodified A body cars are on this forum. It is a big success. In 24 hours the thread grew to 2 pages and 25 plus unmodified Mopars came out of the shadows. The cars fell into 2 categories. First, the cars that came from the factory with a...

    Cheaper than dirt 318 build

    Go V8 then, you could dump $3,000 into that slant and still barely make 300 HP unless you added forced induction. Sounds like you know your way around modifying old engines, some guys come on here with zero experience asking the same kind of question about a SBM build/swap so we tend to be...

    Most V8s are 130-tooth flywheels. The 143-tooth is pre-1970 HP big-block only, excluding the Hemi (172 teeth from 1966-'69). 143-tooth flywheels take an 11" clutch, which was never available with a small block. Everything V8 1970 & up uses the 130-tooth 'wheel. The above only applies to...

    360 radiator hose location

    Pass bottom inlet/top drivers outlet actaully. 70 and up v8 a body are that way,including the 360. Slants are also passenger side inlet and can be center left or right outlet throughout the years. It really depends on the platform they go in. If the radiator core spans the entire opening...you...

    V/8 Swap

    Then there are those that enjoy the slant or the poly. They enjoy being different. Whats worth more? The 74 slant Duster with a transplanted stock 318 orwith the slant? Not the slant. I've been fortunate to have owned the hemi cars, the six pacs, etc. been there. I would care less if to...
