It just seem the premise is if you lose too much low speed torque from cams, cr, single plane, big heads, the consensus seems it's gonna hurt driveability from losing torque. Which don't make sense to me for one like you said /6, small cid V8 already have a lack of torque, they don't need a 3500...

As stated, bellhousing bolt pattern for transmission is different so that will not bolt up. /6 radiator is definitely too small especially for warmer climates. /6 torsion bars are soft even for your current engine. I strongly recommend 1.03" bars. Current driveshaft should fit if you...

I'm willing to bet you're right, It's probably a 8.25 rear end, it came out of a shorty 1500. I have a shop near me that I was going to have shorten the wheel base of that rear end. I'm not too worried about the bolt pattern that rear end does have disc brakes. And I figured as much for the...

Finally my 360 is in the duster and is running! No transmission yet but did a bell housing modification to be able to get the the starter to bolt up to the transmission. Used a truck manual bell housing with the flywheel that came with the engine. Engine specs are: 360, .030 over, low...

Save the motor mounts, V8 steering center link, exhaust manifolds, gas pedal and throttle cable assembly. The only body modification you might have to make is notching the torsion bar crossmember on the passenger side if you want true dual exhaust. You can do dual exhaust without doing that, but...

Does anyone have pics of the 2 side by side? Do i have to shorten or lengthen the slant 6 z bar to work?

No. Simply because the original transmission is from a slant 6 and it won't bolt to a V8.

I need the bellhousing-side ball stud/bracket assembly from a 1972 or newer Slant Six A- or F-body w/3- or 4-speed. It looks almost exactly like the V8 part, but the straight part of the shaft between the taper and bracket is around an inch long. 1971 & older won't work, nor will truck parts...

You're right! Sorry for the confusion. Not sure why I had a brain fart on that one. Here's a photo I took many years ago. I was actually able to use the slant 6 centerlink on a V8 '66 Barracuda I had a while back. Rumor has it that some factory slant cars came with the V8 centerlinks from the...

Nothing. Nada. The main hookups are all the same, slant 6 or V8. The only changes that may be necessary are regarding wire length- you may want to shorten some of the leads to the distributor and oil pressure sender, or just loop them up and tape them; your call. You MAY need a longer starter...

looking for a slant 6 to V-8 trans adapter ( from the A100-A108's ). would really like to find one of the few AR Engineering did a while ago, but cant get picky. want to run the A500 behind my slant Thanks!

do you by chance have a diameter on the 67~72 booster? and maybe the spacing from the firewall (inside or outside of bracket is fine)? i have a few 73+ and was wondering just how different all the stuff is.

I have not experimented like that with the V8, just the slant. If I had to guess it is like everything else it is just a progression. Part of the problem is everything is intertwined. The minute you start upping the cam you start lower cylinder pressures so you should up the compression to...

Early A ('66 and earlier) cable operated throttle linkage. Early A engine mount brackets and insulators. Early A V8 steering center link (slant 6 link is flat, V8 link has a dropped center section for oil pan clearance). Early A V8 exhaust manifolds. 22" A body V8 radiator compatible with the...

I love the slant and the uniqueness, it also just makes my truck seem more ratty (which is what I'm going for) I have p235 75 r15 tires on my truck, and a A833OD with a 3.23 rear end. I can't remember what it is, I think a 9 1/4 axle. But the sound of a v8 can't be replaced, the power can't...

My thoughts exactly, thank you

Looks like it Dan. Strange thing to be sitting in the middle of Montana. The rest he sent pictures of is fairly easy to identify. 8 3/4 of unknown origin, V8 K member I don’t need. Slant A833. If I head over there I be sure to ask if there is another 6 lying around.

Even the V8 you can’t get over 18 initial. They are precise and repeatable but not accurate on the specified value.

all ones coming up in my search for slant 6 / 904 converters are 10 -11.25 inch range . And stall all over the place . Bud not seeing what stock was . My guess 1500 ish ?

I'm sorry but this is just plain wrong.

Hello everyone. I am looking for a kit to put a V8 in my 73 Dart. It has a Slant 6. I know kits are available but seem to be sold out or on backorder for the 73-74 models. Does anyone have this kit they aren't using or know if the conversion kit for the 67-72 A-body will work? Thanks for the...

Ran the Engine Hoist over to Brain's so he could pull the Slant 6 out of Jim the bodyman's '74 Dart Swinger. Getting things ready to do the V8 conversion next. 318 Engine, 904 trans and spool mount V8 K-member ready to go.

It would be helpful to know the appropriate year/car it came from and some pics to said K. i can safely say that if it’s a 63/66 K frame it’s the same for slant and V8 just motor mounts are different

I think it's amazing you've left it a slant 6 car and are happy with it. Didn't you say elsewhere in the thread you plan to do a V8 swap? Either way, it's a nice car and you've done a great job on it. I'd have to leave it slant 6 powered just to be different. lol

So sorry for the confusion. That is a slant six k frame for a 75 dart. It looks like a v8 because the v8 mounts are just set on top. I am cleaning up the slant k frame to reverse a v8 swap. My 75 dart was a slant car but someone v8 swapped it and now I finally found a slant k frame to...

Go see a shrink and get yur head straight. Fix the minor leaks and drive it. You will lose a pile on the slant and cost a pile doing the swap.

Just trying to help. We don't know how much you know or don't. I lost count of how many want to swap a V8 in place of a /6 and don't know the transmissions are different. I'm out.

I guess just getting the car running and really working on it down the road/as issues arise. The car itself is in great shape, just the 225 seized up, I bought a new slant core for 50$ and intended to hot rod it out a little, and get some power out of it. But now that this deal has presented...

Dude, we should talk! Also in Orange County, CA (RSM) and I've gone the other direction.. Done with 360s and very much enjoying my slant powered car.. I've got a bone stock 5.9L magnum, and a reasonably built 360/904 combo from my 67 barracuda that came out after a reckless teen driver crunched...

According to your V.I.N., your car is the 5,267th car built for the 1973 model year in Hamtramck Michigan. A very early August build for the model year. Also, according to the V.I.N, it is a 318 V8 car so it should have big bolt pattern wheels on it, probably the standard 4 1/2'' wide. BTW, all...
