    single turbo thread for an A Body

    I have a remote mount turbo on my 3500 quad cab 8.1 Chevy dually. The turbo is under the bed of the truck. The piping is as long as you’d imagine it would be and there is almost no turbo lag. Sizing of the hot side and turbine are FAR more important than length of tubing. Back in the 70s I think...

    74 duster slant 6 to 318 conversion

    Kinda vague, but I'll try: Assuming the slant was an automatic (904), all the shift linkages and driveshaft should bolt right on. You should even be able to tweak the trans cooler lines to fit. Assuming the motor came out of a passenger car and not a truck/van, the oil pan should be okay...

    Gas tank support bracket

    I got ya, I make assumptions based on my 67, but I try to get the info first, I'm not perfect. Like answering a slant 6 question based on V8 knowledge. Op did not point out that they were working on a slant but they posted the question in the slant 6 forum, I missed that little part :lol: I...

    Power steering and AC bracketry quandary

    Just putting this in the post as an FYI to Dodgelad, Volaredon and anyone else interested. The single pulley slant six compressor clutch assembly is about impossible to find new. I am currently using a compressor with a dual pulley v8 compressor clutch on the slant in the D150. When mounted...

    Cheaper than dirt 318 build

    Please quit repeating what you have read on the internet, I had a 5th ave 1985 no 302 heads or roller block. If the OP heard the engine run, best way to get the truck going on the cheap is to just drop the V8 in and feel the difference. It will not be huge, but not slant-sick powered, not...

    Shoot brother you know I'd pay for the gas for a ride! Did you end up using that rare Factory head on that car did you shelf that thing?

    350 hp out of a fairly stock 340

    I tend to agree, BUT you really touched on it that it doesn't take much for these little cars to GO, especially the early As. I'm continually impressed with Vixen's slant 6. I know it's not a V8 and never will be, but its torque curve is way different. That makes it very impressive. Even Kitty...

    What's a slant A727 weigh?

    Figure on 1970 up with a aluminum body, case, for a 727 to fit behind a slant 6, in taxis, trucks, industrial usage. Before that an adapter was used behind the slant 6, to mate to a V8 727 transmission.

    Fitting a 26 inch radiator?

    Still looking! I know I already did this sometime. Anyway, there are like 3 different radiators. There was an 18" radiator that only came with the slant 6's, a 22" radiator that came with V8's and AC slant six's, and the 26" radiator that came out for the 73+ V8 AC cars. I'm pretty sure...

    [WANTED] K-Frame

    Your 74 will have the spool type motor mounts. You need a 73+ V8 K frame. The only two options were slant six and V8 K frame so any v8 K from an A body will work. You could install an earlier K but would have to get the matching motor mounts. Does your car have a front sway bar?

    V/8 Swap

    I have a pet chicken for sale for $35,000. Is that a good price?? It is compared to the one the neighbor is asking $40000 for. But everything is worth more in Texas ya know. My opinion of buying a "restored" classic car co. somewhat resembles my desire to buy a car from the new car...

    Slant 6 727 Transmission

    Can you post a picture of the trans. As far as I know the slant six 727 wasn't available until about 1968 (might be off one year). That trans did not have cable shift, or B&T flange. As you are aware, prior to the SS 727, Chrysler used the small block 727 with the adapter. PS: Thinking about it...

    Valve Guides for Oversized Valves and Lead-Free Gas?

    don't think you need to worry about hardened seats in an iron head if your valves are modern stainless valves. i'm saying this based on discussions i had when i had my head done. and of course the guy who did my head may be wrong the gist of it was modern stainless valves have valve heads...

    1962 Valiant Suspension/Brake Swap Options with other A-bodies

    My recollection is that 60-61 front suspensions are different, but 62 Valiants/Lancers had front suspensions that are interchangeable with 63 through 72. I believe rears are interchangeable 60-76. Not sure about the front spring eyes on the 60-62. (I do know the rear gears are unique to the...

    Single or double?

    Ha! My life has gotten a bit too safe. I like doing the timing and wondering when one of those blades is going to impale me. So is the issue that the pre 70 V8's had the intake hose on the other side of the engine? Can I just take my /6 radiator to shop and have a core added or beefed up in...

    Building a slant for torque

    I don't think any cam maker refers to anything they have as "RV cams" anymore. There Are a few out there that would fit that bill ... I had my original cam reground into what is considered a pretty good "RV cam". I keep thinking about adding a small turbo to it once it's all broken in, N/A...

    68 fender on a 67??

    found this car like 10 miles from me. is this a 68 fender on a 67 slant dart? or did the 67 slant cars come with the round marker light? also....I'm assuming a 70 front V8 K member will bolt up and the 8 3/4 rearend from same year will bolt in as well? I also have several 69 parts like...

    V8 on 73 up k member?

    As long as its a V8 K frame and not a slant six, its simple. (For a 340)You just get a set of 340 or 73+ 360 mounts or you can use 318 mounts but you will have to shim one side with washers. If you have a slant K its going to take some modifications since one mount on a slant sits higher.

    A while back I was asking for advice....

    A while back I was asking for advice on fitting a small block V8 into my 1966 AP6 Australian Valiant, but after looking into all the hassles with needing to get the car certified (New Zealand), I can't be bothered with it. Bit if I repower with a slant 6, everything would be hassle free. I...
