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...

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...

We did, thank you! Still eating turkey. I hope yours was great, too! I am NOT a price authority, and we have not seen the rest of the car (well, maybe you posted it somewhere else – I haven't searched), but that sounds like it's in the "reasonable" range for a running, driving car, without...

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...

I would have a competent mechanic/person checkout the health of your engine, as in compression/leakdown, and IF good, get it running as it should. If bad, its your nickle as to what to rebuild, but like mentioned there is a lot of things to change if going v8 from that slant. Plus the cost of...

No. They did have adapter plates to mount a V8 727, mid 60's truck. Hard to find but they are out there. Pretty sure they are the small block pattern.So the A500 should work. The guys on the Slant 6 thread can help with that info. As far as your converter question I don't think a 11'' converter...

Sorry, Evan.... The A body was originally designed for the slant six so there actually are 2 types of center links. The shallow offset one is the slant six version. The deeper offset works on both slant six and V8 models.

Doesn't state engine. Absence of a V8 badge suggests it is a slant. But who knows? The alloy wheels suggest it is converted to BBP, unless he just crammed on a set of 5 x 100mm rims (actually on second glance, I see 10 lug holes, so maybe he had them drilled dual-pattern). Very little detail...

How much do you want to keep running a slant-6? The 225 is inherently inefficient by design with the super-long stroke and heavy rotating assembly. If I was to ever intentionally own a slant it would be the 170 variant. I think that would be the best bang-for-buck move in search for MPG and...

I have a 67 Barracuda with a 273 Commando & 4-speed. It has the 9.5" bellhousing and clutch at the moment. I'm building a 340/416 with mildly ported J heads that I intend to paint Chrysler red with 273 Commando valve covers and air-cleaner etc. The motor should make around 420hp and 480tq, the...

Not only a niche market, but how many of those guys are willing to pay $1500+ for a deal like that when they could swap in a V8 for similar money? Probably less than 10%. Now of that 10% niche of a niche market, how many of them have the cash? Needle in a haystack type deal if you ask me.

Hi guys i have a very nice 1986 s6 904 and a v8 904 with a 2000/ 2 200 stall, do all internal parts of the s6 904 fits the v8 904 ? Its to bolt on a 350 hp 360 engine....read that the s6 904 as a better 1st gear ration than the v8 one....thanks guys kinda new to 904s , can just buy a 727 but...

I love slant sixes, unfortunately most were replaced by V8's. I've had several slant six A-Bodies. I balanced and blueprinted my first 225 A-Body (mom's grocery getter & my avatar). Clifford Research headers, Offy manifold, Holley 650, 4 speed & 8.75" rear, Mallory electronic ignition. It...

Well.. for me it's going to cost me 5-6k (without rebuilding my bottom end which has unknown miles and might be junk) to hopefully make 400hp... there was a running 440 still in a car with trans near me for $650 last week and normally 1100ish.. big block is cheaper by far for money per power...

It's essentially a bolt-in swap with a couple of exceptions. The 63 has a different wiper motor mount on the firewall that was revised for 64 to accommodate the V8 (distributor clearance). Also the 63 only had a 19" radiator where the 64 and later cars would accept a 22" radiator. Later slant...

Most of the mini starter installs on the slant do not require any of the extensions. On most V8 installs, it is easier to connect the wires if you use the extensions that relocate the terminals towards the end of the starter.

I took some photos before I took it out of the (very gross) slant transmission to put it in the V8 one. I hope this helps.

Hey all, I am a teenager who is starting my car building journey! I daily a 1986 Honda, but my pride and joy is a 1966 Dart 270 2 door hardtop. It's originally a slant 6 car, but after some unforeseen issues with the motor, I have decided to take the opportunity to 360 swap it. The motor I have...

OK, so this would be a 360 Magnum crate engine and a new transmission, so pre-'68 comment I don't think applies (unless I'm misinterpreting it). TCI tells me that this A904 will bolt up to 360 Magnum and small block LA, same pattern. Re the FI, I will be using aftermarket FuelTech throttle...

Hi, where do you find the crankshaft hub register adapters? I have a 73 318 in a 64 dart that had a 273. I made a temp adapter but am looking for a real replacement. The previous owner did the work and I had a vibe traced back to the tq converter hub being smaller than the crankshaft opening. Thanks

I'm done with helping Slant six people here because I'll have some jackwad come in and say only so and so is right. Dumb. Just give everybody Dan's phone number and skip the site ...because he's "God of slant sixes". Don't worry slantys... I'll go back to lowsom v8's where nothing could...

just a guy trying to figure out this mopar stuff weve got valiants, small blocks and slant 6s down here trying to figure out how to use the 18 spline a833 ive bought to put behind a small block v8 318 but i cant load the link to the google drive it does have liberty gears yours truly, new...

Yes. It's like building a slant 6. You do it because you want to. I can promise you, any of yall on the forum no matter how quick or fast yours cars are could drive Vixen and if you were honest, you'd be impressed. It'll never be a V8 and I don't give a chit. But it's a snappy little thing. I'm...

I'm interested in this motor, and you are in cali near my frieght forwarder! I can't seem to figure out how to delete conversations in my inbox, so reply to this thread if you are interested in selling it to me, and I will zip you my personal contacts if you want? okay- figured it out- will dm you

Good stuff at a great price. Probably the best value in a widely available oil that is a good match for our V8 Mopars.

I've bent some in my 383. My Mopar racer bud Tommy told me to just roll them across a straight/ flat piece of concrete, tap em with a hammer where you need to, and then double check them on the mirror he said the glass should be nice and flat...

Yes Pushbutton Seems that outside of the linkage cables, the body of the transmission itself would be that same? (talking Slant 6 to Slant 6, not a V8 drivetrain) https://streetsmarttransmission.com/diy-transmission-flush/

from what i have read slant six 904s have part throttle kickdown and early v8 904s do not wonder if there is a kit to get ptk without changing complete valve body

Nope. Now for a flush it works the same way. But the cases are different as is most of the internals.
