You don’t pay a hooker for sex. You pay her to go away after.

What's your estimated power output and boost level? A more mild build may be able to run one of those inexpensive 340 lph pumps. TI is the same as Walbro - I'm running one of their 255 lph external pumps for a turbo slant six, but it's likely a built V8 may need two of their pumps. I've seen a...

Don’t let someone try to sell you a “V8 k-frame” ….1963-1966 slant six and V8 are the same. If upgrading to a V8 it’s also a good idea to get V8 torsion bars and bigger 10” or disc brakes…also the stock 7 1/4 rear won’t hold up to a V8 unless you plan to never get on the gas hard.

Drive and enjoy the simplicity.

Some of you may know that I am planning to swap the motor in my 73 Dart 4 door from a 225 slant six to a period correct-ish 318 LA V8. Well, I feel that this decision may be harder than I thought, because now I'm starting to like the slant 6 now that I have running like champ with all of it's...

Plan is to use a 383 block from a 65 Newport and stroke it with a kit from 440 Source.

His definitely looks like the slant 6 version to me. It's not exactly straight - it's got a slight drop to it (bottom picture).

Hey FABO. I have a 63 Dart GT convertible without a drivetrain. So, ideally, I'm looking for... 225 slant six/pushbutton 904 combo and Drive shaft to drop in and make it go. Or... Everything to make a 80s 318/727 work. Motor mounts, 64-66 V8 K member, dropped center link, and floor shifter...

Greetings All, Just purchasing a 64 Barracuda project car. Originally was a V8 car with PB automatic, both of which are now gone; as is the driveshaft. For my needs, a newer (early to mid 1970s) 225 slant six and 904 combination would seem to be easy to find, do the job I need it to do, and...

OK, so on my slant six I was running a 3 ohm Pertronix coil, no ballast resistor, with factory mopar electronic ignition. I'm swapping to a v8, and I read on the Pertronix website that the 3 ohm coil is for 4 and 6 cylinder applications, but for a v8 one should use the 1.5 ohm coil? Am I not...

I have a 73 Scamp with a 72 340/727 and I’m wanting to get new transmission cooler lines. I had to swap the original slant 6 radiator for a V8 one with the driver side inlet and the used one I got I have no idea what year it’s from. I see Mancini and in-line tube shows a different part for 70-72...

"Theirs" might be the same. This is why I suggested simply using a stock box. This is the kinda crap you run into in the aftermarket.

call the people at espo, get their 6 leaf V8 in desired heigh and be done with it. they offer them in stock, +1" and +2" heights. the V8 springs will use the larger front eye bolt... https://www.springsnthings.com/ .

The issue with the pan is not the center link. It is the front part of the sump. The later pan hits the K member. @briansb71 If you want to keep the PB shifter, send me a message and I'll give you my phone number

That sounds nice! The cam definitely elevates the /6's game.

I spoke with Pertronix, they indeed recommend a 1.5 ohm coil for V8 applications...though I could not get them to opine specifically on the mopar orange box in that regard. I do recall someone on the slant six boards telling me years ago that if I'm removing my ballast resistor (which I did)...

Just so you know, the K frame for an early A is the same whether it is for a slant 6 or a V8. Only '67 and later used different K frames. A '63 will require heater box modifications/deletion to make room for a V8.

Easier than slant to V8. Hunt down the early A slant 6 motor mounts/brackets. The early A transmission crossmember will work fine with the later 904 trans. The later oil pan *should* fit fine and have clearance, since you have a drop center V8 centerlink in the car already. The special pan was...

Thanks, I had no idea V8s were cable driven.

True, but very hard to find. But yes, as I stated, "only the slant six had the mechanical pivot rod linkage". No V8s.

RRR, Is it okay if I pm you about questions on the/6?

Slant 6 and V8 use 2 different Z bars. And if I’m not mistaken, yours will also need to come from a 66 or older car. @SSVDP do you have a slant 6 or V8 one you could post a picture of? I have a few here to compare to if you have a confirmed /6 or V8 unit.

Yeah, it's just a no brainer. I even have the same dealio for my Ford T5 swap. I got a real NOS B&B scalloped pressure plate and a 10" disc with the T5 spline count. Perfect for a hot slant 6.

I like the way you think, but the slant can be fun with a 1:1 A833. If I was you I’d either swap in a non od 4 speed, or swap to a 5 speed. A V8 will make the split more tolerable but that transmission will never be fun, in my opinion,and from my experience running one behind a slant and a...

I understand. 99% of my trailer pulling trucks had Cummins or at least a good v8/ BUT, I don't live in the friggin city or Ca.!!!!! :poke: :poke: :poke:

Thanks. Did you mean to say "inbuilt" in the last sentence?

The return hose should be all one size - 5/8th to match the pump and the box. So it’s possible the pump has been replaced in the past with one with a 3/8in hose return port. Check with Steer and Gear as I sent them a correct slant pump with the 5/8th port as a credit trade-in when I had them...

Your work looks great. It's funny, you are building the same car I have and you are finding the same inspiration I did. I kept the chrome and didn't do the matte finish, but did also go with a green. I wanted green to begin with and this is how I found that car. I just wish I went the full...

There never was a cast iron 904. First year for the 904 was 1960 and it was for a slant six only. First V8 904 was 1964, when the 273 was first introduced. BTW, I had to grind on the 383 block in my 64 Polara when I put a lightweight starter on it. Can't remember what the interference was...

really? do you have a link or a pic of some kind of literature, because that's the first i've ever heard of that. i've parted a grip of 73~76 cars and never seen anything bigger than the standard V8 bars.
