Engine mount location/ K- frame is the same.64 and 65 models. You'll need to ensure the motor has the brackets. You will need the V8 Centerlink as mentioned. It has a greater drop to accommodate the oil pan. V8 Torsion bars would be good. They are slightly thicker than the slant 6...

Chrysler started using a shorter oil filter in '73 because some V8 installations didn't have room for the longer one. They decided to just use the shorter filter even in applications like the Slant-6 where the longer filter still fit fine. The NAPA catalogue just knows what's been programmed...

The trans will not work if from a slant 6. V8 trans is different.

The grille turn signals were in there, the engine bay wiring, brake hard lines, wiper motor, two Heater-A/C units, trans crossmember, all sorts of stuff! Front bumper brackets too. I may have a front bumper up the hill. I have drive shafts that can be cut down to fit. There are 3 or 4 Slant...

Yep, definitely gonna need pictures. Could be that you have an entire '73+ V8 K frame. Or the original '68 /6 K with conversion engine mounts. Or just about any combination of '67-76 K frame and engine mounts to get from a /6 to a V8.

First order of business is to find a 8 3/4 axle housing in A-body length. The Newport also gave up its 8 3/4” differential to the project! It’s not a sure-grip though. :(

As much as I love slant sixes, you're already talking about a V8, so it would be dumb to try to talk you out of that. People build slant sixes because of the love of them and to be different. They'll never be a V8 and lots of people end up disappionted by that, because they jump into the slant 6...

I will grab the part numbers but I swapped from a slant 6 to a magnum 318. I bought some used 318 torsion v8 bars. I’ll look up the part number. Here’s an old pic of the ad If I recall correctly, they are .850 bars

I have 71 Plymouth duster slant six car with power steering and i was looking for the right pit-man arm they sell two different kinds with different spine numbers ... so i am not sure which one to get i am guessing the difference is manual and power steering gearbox? or maybe the slant 6 got a...

Swapping a 64 dart to a 360 magnum from the slant 6. I know I need to change out to the v8 drag link but I'm not about to pay that much for one. I don't see why I can't cut and weld the part I got and and thinking about going that route. Saw one guy shimed the engine up but I don't like the...

Hi, I have some questions about converting my 1966 Australian Valiant from the slant-six to a 273, 318, 340, 360 small block. I have a reconditioned 904 torqueflite which has been used with my slant-six. Can this torqueflite be used behind a small-block V8? Also, can I use the six cylinder...

Chrysler desing this car based in an early a-body for Chrysler Argentina, used the Dodge brand and the GTX model. It was manufactured from 1970 to 1979, powered with a 318 v8 and 225 slant six. Mine is 1970. Use Google and you will see many more photos.

My wife says no more cars, but it’s X-mas time. After i spontaneously told her this morning i was going to pick up a duster an hour away from us. She didn’t really believe it. Turned into a 7hr ordeal getting it out the woods and home with my son. The hunt and recovery adventure was worth it. 71...

The key with drum brakes is, have them in top operating condition, don't drive like a maniac and don't use drum brakes on a car with considerable power. Slant 6 cars, stock 273 and 318 cars are about what I call "the limit" for drum brakes and if it's a V8, then they better be 10" drum brakes in...

Hey all, Im trying to rebuild my ‘66 Dart and have came to yet another dilemma. My recent intentions were to rebuild the stock slant in the car, and try to hot rod it out a little bit, but now a new opportunity has risen. I found a ‘65 with a 273 that I could use as a parts car to make the swap...

Early A’s use the same K member for v8 and slant. He just needs the motor mount brackets. If he goes aftermarket/Schumacher v8 mounts he won’t need the drop center link, as they raise the engine enough to clear the link. The v8 throttle bracket and the exhaust manifolds are all he really needs...

If you look at Derrick Duster build on YouTube where he has to do a slant to V8. The LS318 Duster

Wanting to buy a 4 door valiant or dart from 67-73 Don’t care about the paint, don’t want too much rust to deal with. Gotta be decent mechanically. Would prefer manual brake and manual steering car. Slant six or v8 welcome. Closer to southern Georgia the better.

It is possible I am wrong. Don't have a lot of experience with trucks. My 64 D-100 has a bell housing that would only fit the slant six. Trans is a A-833OD. I have a flywheel and clutch on hand, that is used with the NP435, and it requires a larger bell housing then the one on my 64 D-100. The...

My budget is 4k or less

I slap fell in love with mine and it was a 170. The little car would scoot. It was very responsive. I WAS going to shoehorn a 400 in it, but I kept it a slant 6 and put this warmed over 225 in it. It puts a smile on my face every single time I drive it.

I would do that but my car started as a smallblock v8 so my k member is different

Since the slant six is "two holes down" it's a much more systematic approach than a V8. INstead of putting on one part at a time and seeing results, the slant six needs all the systems upgraded to see good results. I had the stock manifold on mine ported and the outlet opened up to 2.5" and ran...

for what it's worth I'm extremely satisfied with my suspension rebuild which included .92" torsion bars and 6 leaf HD rear springs over my stock .85"/5 leaf springs in my slant 6 duster. work well with KYB's,not harsh at all. upped the wheel rate to 150 lb/in in the front/130 rear from the...

Yeah, hind site is 20/20. Just the sheer layout of it was perfect and simple. 318, 727, PS, PB, Aluminum Wheels, 4 barrel, Radio Delete, Nice clean body, nice interior and original dash. It was originally a Slant 6, 3 speed manual trans, manual steering. Converted it to 318, automatic trans...

I'm sayin this once more, now see if it gets through. You may not need the V8 center link. I 360 swapped my 65 Valiant years ago and did not use one. I used the same slant 6 center link the car came with. Clearance was close. I think there was like 1/8" if I remember right, but this is a...

Both. It needs to be compatible with a '64 Valiant, and a V8. Like Rusty said, one for a 273 will work fine. Some vendors can modify their harnesses- for instance, if your 360 has electronic ignition, or later model alternator and electronic voltage regulator. But first, figure out why the...

And the weirdly sized pistons

That’s good to know, I almost ordered one from brewers for the 273 because I figured it was the same. I don’t have a z bar as I got the car without the transmission, but I’m picking up an a230 from a 71 duster slant 6 on Monday, so I’ll have that z bar but I don’t think it will work.

Welcome to the site! To put the the V8 in there, you'll need adapting motor mounts/or a V8 K-frame. You'll need a form of V8 exhaust (be it manifolds or headers). The slant six electrical wiring will work (distributor, oil pressure gage, alt wires, etc) but the lengths may not be exact...
