call the people at espo, get their 6 leaf V8 in desired heigh and be done with it. they offer them in stock, +1" and +2" heights. the V8 springs will use the larger front eye bolt... https://www.springsnthings.com/ .

Just so you know, the K frame for an early A is the same whether it is for a slant 6 or a V8. Only '67 and later used different K frames. A '63 will require heater box modifications/deletion to make room for a V8.

Easier than slant to V8. Hunt down the early A slant 6 motor mounts/brackets. The early A transmission crossmember will work fine with the later 904 trans. The later oil pan *should* fit fine and have clearance, since you have a drop center V8 centerlink in the car already. The special pan was...

I spoke with Pertronix, they indeed recommend a 1.5 ohm coil for V8 applications...though I could not get them to opine specifically on the mopar orange box in that regard. I do recall someone on the slant six boards telling me years ago that if I'm removing my ballast resistor (which I did)...

True, but very hard to find. But yes, as I stated, "only the slant six had the mechanical pivot rod linkage". No V8s.

Thanks, I had no idea V8s were cable driven.

RRR, Is it okay if I pm you about questions on the/6?

Slant 6 and V8 use 2 different Z bars. And if I’m not mistaken, yours will also need to come from a 66 or older car. @SSVDP do you have a slant 6 or V8 one you could post a picture of? I have a few here to compare to if you have a confirmed /6 or V8 unit.

Yeah, it's just a no brainer. I even have the same dealio for my Ford T5 swap. I got a real NOS B&B scalloped pressure plate and a 10" disc with the T5 spline count. Perfect for a hot slant 6.

I like the way you think, but the slant can be fun with a 1:1 A833. If I was you I’d either swap in a non od 4 speed, or swap to a 5 speed. A V8 will make the split more tolerable but that transmission will never be fun, in my opinion,and from my experience running one behind a slant and a...

The return hose should be all one size - 5/8th to match the pump and the box. So it’s possible the pump has been replaced in the past with one with a 3/8in hose return port. Check with Steer and Gear as I sent them a correct slant pump with the 5/8th port as a credit trade-in when I had them...

Your work looks great. It's funny, you are building the same car I have and you are finding the same inspiration I did. I kept the chrome and didn't do the matte finish, but did also go with a green. I wanted green to begin with and this is how I found that car. I just wish I went the full...

Engine mount location/ K- frame is the same.64 and 65 models. You'll need to ensure the motor has the brackets. You will need the V8 Centerlink as mentioned. It has a greater drop to accommodate the oil pan. V8 Torsion bars would be good. They are slightly thicker than the slant 6...

really? do you have a link or a pic of some kind of literature, because that's the first i've ever heard of that. i've parted a grip of 73~76 cars and never seen anything bigger than the standard V8 bars.

The trans will not work if from a slant 6. V8 trans is different.

Yep, definitely gonna need pictures. Could be that you have an entire '73+ V8 K frame. Or the original '68 /6 K with conversion engine mounts. Or just about any combination of '67-76 K frame and engine mounts to get from a /6 to a V8.

First order of business is to find a 8 3/4 axle housing in A-body length. The Newport also gave up its 8 3/4” differential to the project! It’s not a sure-grip though. :(

As much as I love slant sixes, you're already talking about a V8, so it would be dumb to try to talk you out of that. People build slant sixes because of the love of them and to be different. They'll never be a V8 and lots of people end up disappionted by that, because they jump into the slant 6...

Swapping a 64 dart to a 360 magnum from the slant 6. I know I need to change out to the v8 drag link but I'm not about to pay that much for one. I don't see why I can't cut and weld the part I got and and thinking about going that route. Saw one guy shimed the engine up but I don't like the...

I have 71 Plymouth duster slant six car with power steering and i was looking for the right pit-man arm they sell two different kinds with different spine numbers ... so i am not sure which one to get i am guessing the difference is manual and power steering gearbox? or maybe the slant 6 got a...

Chrysler desing this car based in an early a-body for Chrysler Argentina, used the Dodge brand and the GTX model. It was manufactured from 1970 to 1979, powered with a 318 v8 and 225 slant six. Mine is 1970. Use Google and you will see many more photos.

I will grab the part numbers but I swapped from a slant 6 to a magnum 318. I bought some used 318 torsion v8 bars. I’ll look up the part number. Here’s an old pic of the ad If I recall correctly, they are .850 bars

Hi, I have some questions about converting my 1966 Australian Valiant from the slant-six to a 273, 318, 340, 360 small block. I have a reconditioned 904 torqueflite which has been used with my slant-six. Can this torqueflite be used behind a small-block V8? Also, can I use the six cylinder...

Early A’s use the same K member for v8 and slant. He just needs the motor mount brackets. If he goes aftermarket/Schumacher v8 mounts he won’t need the drop center link, as they raise the engine enough to clear the link. The v8 throttle bracket and the exhaust manifolds are all he really needs...

Hey all, Im trying to rebuild my ‘66 Dart and have came to yet another dilemma. My recent intentions were to rebuild the stock slant in the car, and try to hot rod it out a little bit, but now a new opportunity has risen. I found a ‘65 with a 273 that I could use as a parts car to make the swap...

My budget is 4k or less

If you look at Derrick Duster build on YouTube where he has to do a slant to V8. The LS318 Duster

It is possible I am wrong. Don't have a lot of experience with trucks. My 64 D-100 has a bell housing that would only fit the slant six. Trans is a A-833OD. I have a flywheel and clutch on hand, that is used with the NP435, and it requires a larger bell housing then the one on my 64 D-100. The...

Wanting to buy a 4 door valiant or dart from 67-73 Don’t care about the paint, don’t want too much rust to deal with. Gotta be decent mechanically. Would prefer manual brake and manual steering car. Slant six or v8 welcome. Closer to southern Georgia the better.

I would do that but my car started as a smallblock v8 so my k member is different
