Thanks. It would need to be a '73 or later V8 k-frame to be useful to me. I do have a k-frame I modified years ago that I could use for sections if need be. Won't work in this project but might be worth the metal.

Yes you shouldn't have any issues. I have V8 to slant "schumacher" mounts if you do Have issues. also V8 k-members and mounts. I am in Pa. Neighbor

doesnt get much more different then this all kidding aside, i think a turbo would be the easiest to get her there...but imagine the looks you will get with that scoop popping out the hood in the odd place

Don't waste your time doing anything with that slant 6 other than taking it out and throwing it in the dumpster. The G3 will certainly cost more, but you won't be disappointed with a V8 over the /6. You will be disappointed that the /6 will still be turd after you spend all that money on it.

A slant and LA/Magnum/BB starter are interchangeable. Longer ones were the high torque. The late model MagnumV6/V8 starters were the ones to stick in early mopars, smaller and more power. I didn't realize they were the same as a 5.7 but an A engine trans will bolt up to a 5.7 and the starter...

I know some early-a slant six cars with AC came with a V8 throttle pedal and bracket assembly like the one pictured, but your pictures it’s hard to see the part that bolts to the firewall, doesn’t look right to me. Has the bracket been modified it is it a newer pedal assembly? Your pedal is...

Your talking to a guy if I ever got rich .that would put a slant in a superbird just to piss off the purists lol

Through 66, slant sixes had a rod, not a cable. If the OP is working on a 65 Barracuda, he will need the V8 accelerator pedal, V8 throttle cable firewall bracket, and an A body V8 cable, preferably a four barrel cable. Repop 340 cable will work just fine. Edit, if you don't care about...

my wife & daughter get such a kick out of how many people have to stop & ask about our little 6. usually end up with one of 3 questions. how much horsepower? how quick in the 1/4? or how's the gas mileage? LOL We have more fun with this little car, than I ever did with the Big Block in the...

Future profit is no concern to the project. I am aware of the desirability of the car. Fun cruiser is probably where I'm at. Have always wanted an older rwd 2dr v8 muscle car, and the Dart fits what I've wanted closer than my 56 Packard Clipper with a blown tranny. I think my biggest hurdle is...

Here's where the bug got me........ My first car at 15 was a 1971 Gold Charger. I was too young to get my licence, so my dad plated and insured it as the family car until I was old enough. We put in a set of buckets, and retrofitted it with a Cordoba console and I managed to drive it for...

Thanks, once in a while I keep looking at the title of this thread and this car hasn't been a daily driver in well over a year. I bought another car to get around that also needs some attention here and there. First I was struggling to get the exhaust installed and then the freshly rebuilt...

Yes it has the front sway bar.

Need help with correct engine mount brackets for 72 Plymouth scamp (abody). car was originally slant 6 and I now have a v8 k member and a 67’ 318 block … they fit on the block but not don’t meet up with k frame..I’ve added a pic of the “318 mount brackets” and also the ones in picture bolted to...

Hi there. Could someone give me a rough value on a 69 cuda notchback fully restored with slant 6. In excellent cond. Its garage kept and mint. Looking to give owner a fair price lots of info on v8 comparables but what about a slant 6? Thanks, al

I'm well aware of this, but what's wrong with being prepared? If it's a V/8 car I want to be able to be on it quick and if I have my information ahead of time I'll have something to bargain with. I even said this at beginning of this thread that I wasn't trying to jump the gun. With the car...

Yes my car has the slant 6 k member in it. I want to put a small block in without changing the k member.

EDIT: READ PAST THIS FIRST SECTION Sorry, no You went to a lot of work for nothing. The dual pickup dist (so far as I know) has no advance mechanism, and was designed to work with lean burn. You need to find a "regular" single pickup dist with vacuum and mechanical advance, and...

Race Engine . . Hmmmm... Performance Engine thinking yes. Here are some more clues to the puzzle as @Swinger 340 has stated about it having the early Edelbrock Performer 4 barrel intake manifold with the thermostat mount bolts parallel to the bypass hose (mopar thermostat thermostat housing...

Hurricane Hilary sounded much worse than it currently is, but I felt better with the car in the garage. It's actually the first time it's in the garage since the V8 swap because there was just too much stuff in there. I took apart the engine stand to store it. I took the boom off the hoist and...

Out with the old In with the new It's in! Hit a few snags including having the motor mounts on the wrong sides and some other idiotic things, but the hardest part is done. Spent about 12 hours on Friday disconnecting everything from drive shaft to fuel lines etc and then 12 hours...

1 throttle return spring brkt (front of manifold) 2 throttle cable holder ? 3 kick down linkage upper pivot, missing brkt it goes on. 4 rear mount kick down upper pivot / throttle cable holder ( might be mount for #3) 5 choke thermal pull down (slant 6???) 6 another throttle return spring...

65 dart gt with a slant 6 auto on floor. Looking to swap in a v8. I found these two locally. First one says it’s a 318 out of a 70 charger with a 4 speed automatic trans. Engine and trans ran and shifted well when pulled. Comes with carburetor. What 4 speed trans does it look like and what would...

Huge thank you. And I am sure you are right with the search being thrown off by the spec sheets. Must be the case with this car as it has the front discs, but the slant-6 225. I am going to order the 2947R's as a just in case.

But in that pic, there's no room for a ring to fit into the groove. Who told you .028? I'm thinking your direct clutch is fried. The pic and your explanation make no sense. Have you looked at pics of other assembled direct drums? That looks like a slant six drum that you tried to put an extra...

That's an 8.25" rear as stated above. Putting the larger tires on was the equivalent of putting a 2.99:1 gearset in it, and the OD top gear is the combined equivalent of adding 2.18:1 cogs out back, good grief what do you expect from that poor Slanty!! I'd toss the 3.73's in it, the new...

Hello. We have recently purchased a 1973 Dart Swinger. It is a Slant Six car with small 7 1/4" rear end. I am doing a V8 swap and need a larger rear end. Sure Grip is preferred but not required. Just needing whatever I can find at this point. Willing to travel within reasonable distance...

Slant six is offset to driver side. V8 is offset to the passenger side. Look at fan shrouds & it is easy to see.

I'm using a 904 transmission for a v8

This thread - I read as much as I could stand - is full of the usual bad ideas. In those pics, I don't see any sign the valves were hitting the pistons. Maybe they were, but it doesn't look like it. And of course, even if they were it would have nothing to do with overheating. Do people...
