Search results for query: slant to v8

Thanks for all your suggestions! I think im starting to lean in the slant 6 direction, as I dont think an engine swap is within my ability as a mechanic just yet. Im sure I will have more opportunities in the future to fulfill my v8 crave.

My 66 has flat engine mount, no spool mounts, went to v8 from my slant 6, intake means a bunch and carb, but I think my hood will fit, probably don't help but I had to chime in, Schumacher conversion mounts to my 360 with a torker 360 aluminum intake to a Edelbrock carb.

In the interest of fixing everything else I noticed that there are two trans filters with different part numbers for 1965. There's one for V8 and one for slant 6, but that doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I had a slant 6 one laying around, but ended up ordering a V8 one just in case. Once I...

Do you have a picture of the one you have?

I've got the same set-up as you have, but not installed yet. The carb I have is off a 1966 273 v8. Should work great. There is even a Mopar high performance manual for these slant 6's. That manual recommends using one of these carbs from a 1965 to 1967 273 v8 4bbl. It also gives recommendations...

I must say that I am pretty excited to slap everything together soon. I have a set of disc brakes/spindles/UCA's from @themoparman73 and the 7 1/4 rear from @AbodyBB. I had planned on popping in a set of 1.03" T-bars, but now I'm worried they'll be too stiff with the slant. It's the wife's...

For that price, I think I'll sell one of my NOS ones........:steering::eek:

I took apart 1965 D100 and 1968 D200 slant 6 to get parts for my 1967 W200 (Small block V8). In both slant 6 engines, the bell housing curved beyond the slant 6 mounting surface with exposed bolt holes, so it could be used with the small block V8. The W200 did have the NP 435, shifter on the...

Should be a nice project car. Lots of questions. Probably 273 2 barrel 904 automatic, with 7 1/4" 3.23 ratio rear end (cover on the back). Would be real lucky if it had an 8 3/4 rear end in it, heavy duty, with the smooth back. Already set up as a V8 Automatic car, so that is a lot better than...

Im wondering the same thing the wires are in good condition overall but there are so many things not plugged in I’m just trying to get more electrically back from the car.

No direct experience with the slant 6 bellhousing, but if the linkages remain similar to the V8 linkage set-up, expect to relocate the bellhousing ballstud/bracket to align with the frame ballstud, and probably need to narrow the Z bar to fit. May have to "adjust" the linkage rod lengths a bit...

Clutch possibly. Bellhousing no, flywheel no. The bolt pattern on the bell to engine is different, and as stated the bolt holes in the flywheel are different. Also the center hole in the flywheel got larger between 67 and 68, on both the small block and slant six. Also the bell, flywheel and...

I did the same thing on my 75 Dart Sport. It started out as a slant six car and I installed a big block using the Schumacher conversion mounts. Ran it that way a few years and then removed the big block when it wiped a flat tappet cam lobe. Big block is on hold for a while and had a 360 small...

Ha, I hear you, it'll be a V8 swap before a 4 barrel on the slant!

Fan, shroud and radiator in for the last time. I checked 15 ways to make sure the fan was the right way around as I have no desire to pull this all apart again. Transmission cooler lines for a Duster needed to massaged a lot but they will work. Cut out the Sportsman door panel panels. I know...

Did it on my 76 D100 Truck when going from a slant 6 to a 318 V8 factory truck radiator. Cut out 1 1/2" on the driver's side of the radiator core support so the opening would fit the larger radiator. ☆☆☆☆☆

Hello, Thanks for checking in. Yes, I still have the car. This is the most exciting one to drive in my fleet. I don't think I will be selling it for at least 40 years if things remain as they are. I have not updated here, because I have not done anything with it. Parts cars, shows,, work...

i've seen what some of those tv guys do when working on mopars.. i wouldn't follow anything those guys do or say.

Very true. Even for a guy that has Slant Sixness like me. I completely understand the whys and how come for wanting a change.For me it is a ok, did the Slants enough now it's time for V8. I will agree that you may be able to sell it off to the right guy for a $500 to maybe $800 max if someone...

I got the V8 filter today (bottom). I'd say they are pretty much the same size, thickness etc despite having different part numbers printed on them. The V8 one seems to be made from a different material though. It's not as fuzzy and the color is slightly different, but my guess is that there...

When Alan sets out to do something, it happens rapidly. I'm all for this project, even though I didn't really have problems with the slant (other than dropping in a rebuilt 68 unit because of massive oil consumption). Since it no longer has the original engine, and I carried out other mods like...

It used to be easier to find a guy with a GOOD running slant that the owner wants it out of his garage, would sell it cheap or even give it away! They are out there. BUT don't get such and spend un needed $ on it! That is the reason to find good slant and NOT build one! IF you love the...

It's a part of Mopar that I like to say I've "done it" as in... had a slant 6 car. Cool leaning tower. But the v8 rumble I fondly remember from my 440 Charger has too much pull to ignore. Now i'll be able to say i've had a Mopar in each category - SB, BB, S6 ‍

I get it man. Believe me. I've had more than my share.

temps outside are a bit milder today so i went out and messed with the dart some. its had a slant six fan shroud on it for years wich only allowed a 17" fan. was never impressed with the air it pulled. ordered a V8 shroud from mancini and i have a couple 18" fans i wanted to try...

Easy way to fix rocker arm breakage in a slant six- swap out /6 for a V8. Drop slant in Ocean for boat anchor. LMAO! I’m surprised nobody has said this yet! Lol!

I’ve seen a video of your car running and it sounds great! What are the cam specs on it?

Looking to V8 swap from the slant 6 in my 64’ Valiant and need V8 swap parts. Looking for V8 center link (drag link) and 273 mounts.

I have a brand new Schumacher creation swap engine kit from slate 6 to340 /360 new in the box $125 plus shipping from Crossville Tennessee it comes with instruction sheets everything to do it with brand new

I appreciate any info. I have access to a 360 truck engine with an automatic crank, so I know i'll need a bushing for the trans output shaft and probably a bell housing for a manual shifter. I'm pretty green when it comes to this.
