Search results for query: slant to v8

There are three different A-body factory throttle cable lengths, V8 4bbl being the shortest , V8 2bbl in the middle and slant 6 being the longest. I used a V8 2bbl on this high intake. slant 6 is much longer. I like using factory throttle cables I find them to be more durable.

I have some used V8 valve springs if you're looking for some. Cheap & nasty, just the way you like em !

I know the early A van/trucks used an adapter plate and a crank spacer to adapt the slant to a 727 for a V8, in case you didn't know.

The v8 is a 72, slant is a 85 Slant has been rebuilt,

I'm doing the swap from a Slant 6 to a 273. Does anyone know what shift linkage will work on the car? The car is a 65 Valiant column shift car. I have a 66 273 with the V8 904 to install in the car that currently has a Slant Six 904 and associated linkage installed. Thanks

?? 727s are not manual transmissions, they are automatics... you need to figure out what you really have there. Regardless, there is no slant 6 transmission or bellhousing that will bolt up to a V8. Big blocks, small blocks (both LA and Magnum) and slant 6s all have different trans. to block...

I have a good core that needs rebuild, but I want to find GOOD running slant, or at least decent compression! Any of you V8 guys pulled one out that needs a good home??? I am down N of Houston.

Hello All, Looking for a V8 Centerlink that will fit a 65 Valiant. I'm swapping a Slant 6 to a 273/904 and need a center link that will fit. Thanks in Advance

The only thing I can think of that makes a slant 6 any good, is the cost of a car equipped with one compared to a v8 car. You can get slant 6 cars cheap. That’s a plus right?

Sorry i haven't been on the forum in a while so just getting to your message. I suppose they could be cut off but the la spools are larger in width front to back than the slant six ones. I found that out when I tried to put v8 spools in that kframe they are about 1/2 inch smaller front to back

Looking for a 68-72 slant sux K frame if anybody has a straight one they plan to scrap because they are doing a V8 swap. I would be interested in it. Thanks Matt

I think he's referring to what was done to his specific car before he purchased it. Not Barracudas' in general.

Rick Ehrenberg once stated that the factory defaulted to the V8 version at some point. I don't recall if it was for production cars or replacements through the Parts Division. Why not? The V8 Center Link fits everything, the slant six version only fits slant six.

First, you might want to remove the timing tab, clean it, and paint it to highlight the marks. Makes things a lot easier. Is this a slant six or V8?

I don't have any V8 stuff. My plan is to run one of these used slant 6 camshafts I have anyway, so I'm probably just gonna use the decent looking slant 6 springs I have. Cheap & Nasty.

pass side slant to v8 conversion is truck mount bracket IIRC. Or really close in dimension https://www.engine-swaps.com/products/67-72-a-body-s6-to-273-318-or-340-360-conversion-kit Unless he put a V8 K frame in the car, that looks like the correct engine bracket for the slanty K

Slant only, have V8 also. Man they do work great and get rid of the Mopar ecu's, Electronic dist. only

I'm doing a Slant Six to 273 Conversion from a 65 904 to a 66 904. . I'm looking for a 66 Valiant/Dart/ Barracuda Column Shift Power Steering column with a 904 transmission linkage for a V8. valiant power steering column Thanks

I have a Holley 1 barrel off of my 72 scamp 225 slant 6. The carb is clean and the motor runs good and idles good from a jug. Swapping to a V8. $50 plus shipping from 49341.

Someone show him a picture of the slant and the V8 drag links he may already have a V8 drag link because he has a 64 and the V8 was an option, I wouldn't doubt some 64-66 slants came with V8 drag links.

That's what it will be if original to the car, which it probably is. With it being a slant 6 car, it might be the really low 1st gear (3.09?) that a lot of people want. You've got the whole package there to hook someone up with if they want it. Did you sell that 122 tooth flywheel, bellhousing...

In fact the first years of the slant / 904 torqueflite, they are called a "Torqueflite 6" and the 727's were called "Torqueflite 8's"

Looking good, I'm looking forward to see how this performs, i have a performance cam and lifters for a 225 laying around I had contemplated selling which is left over from my sons previous Duster build but when it got wrecked he got a v8 one now but honestly watching this build has inspired me...

Yes I need the ones to fit a Slant 6

A 727 behind a slant six with an 8 3/4 with 3:90 gears stock that all by itself is bad ***. He has all the V8 Mounts to go with it too.

That looks really nice!! I like the color. Are you putting the slant back in or moving up to a V8? Either way, I’m watching this thread!!

Yep. The top one was off of my '66 Dart (slant six). Even the non-V8 versions have a bit of a drop to them.

The title of the thread: "1965 valiant 225 timing issues".

There are no "special motor mounts" for a V8 to slant 6 swap. Only if you're doing the opposite. On a '72 K frame (applies to '67-'72), the left (driver's side) K frame mount is the same whether slant 6 or V8, so that side will bolt up with stock factory slant mount brackets of the correct year...

I agree. They will start Slant 6 engines with ease. Lower compression V8 like a 318 too.As long as they are in a good state of tune. Beats paying $200 for a type 24. Battery prices rise daily.
