Next up, I drove the crap out of the car rest of the summer and fall! I was so stoked to finally have a V8 muscle car! My previous was a Plum Crazy 74 Swinger slant 6 I had been building a 440 for and wanting a V8 so bad in it. Once winter hit I wanted to quiet the interior down and the bench...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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

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...

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...

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 ‍

How bout it. Had to buy a group 27 here recently. Alot more than I paid the last time. Still trying to figure this one out.why did it decide to die right then and there? The day of my mom's funeral. The Durango started fine, no hint of problem when we left home. We went and picked up the...

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...

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!

This is awesome to see! Great looking car! I just completed a Mopar parts picking west coast tour with my boy and then my dad, son, and I went to get our own 71 Duster down in Texas. I definitely wouldn’t be into mopars without my dad and my son has sold out to Mopars. Whatever it is though...

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.

check mounting lugs pinion tooth count and pinion diameter and the clocking of the main body in respect to mounting holes with a known working starter.... if it has 25mm 9 tooth pinion..... its a direct drive gen II "street" hemi starter from the first year of manufacture i.e rare as...

Tough decision. Cost would be #1. It all has to do with budget. Ask yourself, would I be happy with a Slant ? Am I really a V8 guy ? Last is what plan for the future of this car ? This about sums it up. If you have not invested anything in the Slant Six engine or the parts car yet, may be the...

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.

If you swapped in the 273, you might want to hunt down a pair of 67 of later heads because of the intake issue. Another thing to consider is the earlier 273s had a smaller crankshaft register than the later ones. Something else to consider as mentioned earlier is get a 5.2 or 5.9 and build...

Hey everyone, I am in search to purchase a 340/360 complete with auto trans or manual for my 65 dart that comes with slant 6 or any v8 if you have any that I can just drop in. I already have couple different K members to use. Any help would be appreicated

if you can get the slant K with the carcass that's a score for sure, bars are a double plus. if they aren't slant bars (lighter weight) i'm sure somebody will trade theirs for some V8 bars, or you can scoop slant bars pretty cheap. if they have the K, they might have some other bits and bobs...
