...it off. I have a slant K-member out of a 72 slant 6 for $50 here in Pa.You can drive for it. You can put it in or cut the stand from it and have it welded to yours without removing the k-member. Either way it would be your only route. I have brackets to go from slant to V8 from schumacher

Well, I DID beat a couple of slant 6 pushrods out straight with a hammer on a vise years ago. Put um back in, adjusted the valves and it ran great until I did the V8 swap.

This is the '73 to '76 small block V8 K-member style that we will be using in the '74 Dart Swinger slant 6 to 318 conversion. Thanks for the pic.

^^ this makes your lift limited, make sure you plan ahead and factor in the height you'll need with that leveler attached. BTDT ^^ Pull it from the back head boss and the entire engine/trans will come out balanced as stated. Its not hard to hoist it, but it is kinda hard getting it over the rad...

You'll be okay using everything except the K frame and centerlink/tie rods, and sway bar if so equipped. Those parts are all different widths. You'll be able to use the upper and lower control arms, spindles & brakes, torsion bars (make sure you're at least getting basic smallblock V8 torsion...

1990 318 TBI Roller Engine, stock 9.2:1 cr with the 302 factory closed chamber heads and stock roller cam. All Stock. Add the Edelbrock 1406 4 barrel carb and 2" dual exhaust and you are good to go. Great performance with the 4 barrel. Just keeps on pulling, never floated out the stock valve...

Thanks Scody That makes sense. So if it doesn’t fit during mock up I’m sure it will be evident and if I have a chance to see a v8 z bar for a body specifically 1972 I’ll use that as a comparison. thanks again!

My distributor has a vacuum pot, so I'm hoping it'll work for this application. The wiring diagram is based on the following pages from the FSM, I assumed the dual pick-up non lean-burn ignition would be the same if wired up for a slant 6. Thank you for the links to the forum posts...

The 73 to 76 k frames are a lot different between slant and v8. The slant has a taller driver side perch and the passenger side is like a small box that is lower, flatter and more offset to the passenger side.

So I've started tearing the car apart to finally address the transmission horrible leak. The pan wasn't leaking, but I still decided to take it off to take a look. As you can see in the photo below there are little specks of metal in the filter. I've only driven the car about 100 miles since the...

The slant 6 K frame is basically the same as the V8 on the driver's side (we're talkin' the '67-'72 biscuit mount type here) with the truck bracket and thick truck rubber mount making up the difference in height on the passenger side. You can also use a passcar mount with a piece of box tubing...

Thanks everyone, I think I found some but will keep this open until I confirm that as sometimes deals fall through on here. The #6 rod on the original 170 slant left the block on the highway on Friday, leaving me with decisions. I have decided I’m going to V8 swap it despite having a turbo 225...

your opinion is well stated and respected. myself the only allegience i have is to the flag what its supposed to stand for. not some corporation. if people dont dare to be different then nothig moves forward. we probably wouldnt have a hobby if no one decided to pull out a flat head and drop...

I currently own almost all of the cars I've ever owned. What I got rid of: 1973 Duster 340, automatic PS PB and A/C. Traded if for a new 1982 Charger 2.2 (dumbest deal ever). Five years later, gave the Charger 2.2 to my stepdaughter. 1965 Valiant 100 2-dr post, originally 170 three on the...

ok, I am trying to see if I can help get a ball rolling on a group buy of slant to V8 trans/bell housing. THIS IS NOT A SALE POST. just trying to see what interest there is for one. IF there is enough, Then I can post a for sale post. ( cant start a sale post without pictures or a price - or I...

Hey folks, I just picked up a slant 6 72 duster in great shape about 2 weeks ago. Received it with the intake and exhaust mid-repair so had to take a bit of work to get it back to turning the key. Previous owner was a super nice fella, offered to toss in a new grill, bunch of extra parts...

AHHHHH the joys of rebuilding cars looks great I know how you feel

Hi dartman Does that adapter truly fit a slant 6 to V8 LA bolt pattern

I actually went last Friday and picked up this pile of 383 stuff and thinking to try my hand at a rebuild. Never done it before, but ought to be able to figure it out. I got the engine and tranny separated - need to go buy an engine stand today and continue on with the disassembly. [SOLD] - 383...

I really like the 64 Dodge B bodies. If I could find one with a 273 (or even a Poly 318) it would be perfect. I would dress the 273 up like a Hypo engine and never look back. (to use your phrase) I would wave at all the guys filling up their 440 cars every hour of driving. Meanwhile mine get's...

Hey all, Still have the hubcaps and front K member assembly, V8 torsion bars and disc brake setup is sold. Make me an offer.... Not much of a hoarder and would like the K member assembly gone, if it's not gone in a short while it'll likely go to scrap. Still have the slant 6 T-bars. Thanks Mike

it really boils down to what your level of mechanical skill and resources are. if this is your first old car and first mopar, then it might be deep waters for you. not saying it can't be done, but without traveling that road previously you'll be out of your element. just doing up a motor can...

Since you already have the conversion mounts, you'll be fine with another '73-'76 slant 6 K member. If you find a V8 K member, make sure you get the factory engine brackets with it to save yourself the trouble of hunting them down. It all comes down to where you find the best deal. Either...

Thank you, great feedback. Yes, I'm familiar with the proper technique for installing the frame connectors. Also, I built the suspension for a V8 from the start, i.e., heavier torsion bars, 8 3/4 rearend, heavier leafs, front and rear swaybars, gusseted K frame, 15" rims, front power disk...

The linkage rods are the same length for the slant and V8’s. Don’t cut them. As you showed in the 1st photo, and are pointing to from the manual, you have the upper rod. Was talking about the Z bar tube length, where 3/4 to an 1 inch could be removed from a /6 Z bar to “make” a V8 Z bar. The...

I have a remote mount turbo on my 3500 quad cab 8.1 Chevy dually. The turbo is under the bed of the truck. The piping is as long as you’d imagine it would be and there is almost no turbo lag. Sizing of the hot side and turbine are FAR more important than length of tubing. Back in the 70s I think...

Kinda vague, but I'll try: Assuming the slant was an automatic (904), all the shift linkages and driveshaft should bolt right on. You should even be able to tweak the trans cooler lines to fit. Assuming the motor came out of a passenger car and not a truck/van, the oil pan should be okay...

Early Slant Six Flex Plate. One crank bolt is offset compared to V8. $7 + shipping.

Just putting this in the post as an FYI to Dodgelad, Volaredon and anyone else interested. The single pulley slant six compressor clutch assembly is about impossible to find new. I am currently using a compressor with a dual pulley v8 compressor clutch on the slant in the D150. When mounted...

Hey Karl Yes to all of the above 318 (1971) Have an Early-A V8 radiator Swapped in a cast iron water pump (driver side discharge) Using the early timing chain cover with timing bracket (passenger side) Water pump pulley is correct... seems the crank pulley I have is not
