Over 20 years ago, I was debating to build the slant six in my Dart or swap in a V8 when I found somebody was selling a K-car turbo with a flange welded onto a slant six manifold, and a carb that was prepped for boost. Turns out the manifold wasn't very well welded, the turbo was too small, and...

And yet Chrysler Australia had the 265 cube straight six bigger displacement but lighter the next size up from the GM 253 was a 308 then the 350 and for only a couple of years the 327. Chrysler after the 225 slant had the 245 cube straight 6 then they introduced the 215 low compression base...

Correct. A “-1” would be one piece for: retainers, springs, spring cups, shims, pushrods, valves, rockers, rocker studs, lifters, and a pair of locks, etc. Whatever plan the OP has regarding Comp “766” retainers, I’d say since they don’t seem to exist(at least not any longer), he might want to...

You have an awesome Dart;) You know, I really tried going with the idea of a V8 and wasted too much time on it. The slant six that I do have is in the machine shop as we speak, a good overhaul, with an increase in compression(9:1) along with the Super six intake and modded cam (thanks to...

Hi all As you already know, the gearbox swap is scheduled on tuesday, Sept.17th at a professional mechanic shop. Yesterday, I found this affirmation from a guy on another Mopar forum : "If your using a clutch linkage set up, make sure to get a Z bar from a V8 car. The slant sixes have a...

Which has nothing to do with the box

I need a gas pedal/bracket from a 64-66 V8 or slant six with a/c car. Converting my 65 from rod to cable. Thank you, Jared

i never disputed that. but for the work and gear to do it is more then a bigger cube V8. plus the six just doesn't have the sound of a V8.

122T is for early V8 in the narrow body cars with the small bellhousing (and slant six, different bolt pattern tho). 130T is for all the other V8 apps with the caveat: they are available as neutral/external balance and 6/8 bolt flange (this is greatly simplifying things, but you get the gist...

Just get the '64-'66 V8 A body cable linkage, bolts right in. Only the slant 6 used the mechanical pivot rod linkage. The later linkage can be made to work, too- but it's not a bolt in.

Hi guys I envisage the possibility to swap my slant-6 to a 318, but want to keep my A-230 3-speed gearbox. A non-irreversible swap as I would use a Schumacher (or Trans-dapt) L6/318 conversion kit on my original K-member. Is my slant-6 clutch compatible with the V8? And what's the bellhousing...

Hey together, I am looking for the parts to swap my early a (1964 Dart) from Slant to V8. Meaning I need the gas pedal, centerlink, throttle and kickdown linkage, and potentially a sb pushbutton 904 If you have things to sell please let me know BR Simon

Having work for Chrysler for 14 yrs starting in 1974, I have a decent amount of knowledge as to what fits what, interchanges, etc. I'd picked up a 1986 AT trans for this project and overhauled it, so should be ok there. Now, after having done the dastardly deed of removing the R frame mount ...

Welcome aboard, from another 66 owner from Northeast Arkansas, ask anytime and let's get a restoration thread started when you get a chance, I have been getting Victoria ready with a V8 after enjoying her for 6 years with her great slant six here. Love to see where your starting at and see...

Thats all gone .

Hi guys and gals, I'm trying to replace some bad power steering hoses on my wife's "new" 1975 Dart Sport. It was originally a slant 6 but was swapped to a 340 with a Saginaw pump. No matter which site I look at, I'm seeing hoses with a fairly straight section on the pump end, and hers is more...

You should!

I finally got my motor back together and in my car. I used the slant k member that was in the 68 the one in the V8 car was to rough.Bought the motor mounts they worked great I see why I had to cut the hole in the floor I will be posting pictures the only ones I could find didn’t show how the...

I have 2 slants, one an auto and the other a manual. I have several V8's as well. I did a 5.9L swap into my 72 Charger. IMO I would keep the slant 6. Everybody has a V8 these days, how many people still have the slant 6. The slant is a fast peppy motor when it's running right. My slants will go...

Factory Service Manual does not list different coils for Slant 6 versus V8. The 1.5 ohm coil and a 0.6 Ballast Resistor is the best match to the Factory Electronic Ignition set up.

the slant fans are likely different due to space limitations. somebody here would certainly know the granular details. i've long run clutch fans off of later A's as well as F,M & J bodies without nary a problem. the only problem i could see with a 20" unit is clearance for either the...

Hello all. In the midst of a 904 rebuild and the valve body separation plate from the core transmission I bought is pretty beat up. I need the steel separation plate that goes between the valve body. It has to be from either a 64 or 65 904 transmission cable operated valve body. I believe either...

Commando, meaning 273 V8 four barrel. Yes all original V8 car. Data plate, vin, and engine casting numbers show this. I think I'm going to switch it back to 10 inch drums and buy new shoes. Who knows what happened over nearly 60 years. Just trying to understand these brakes. I did see an...

The hands down best fitting headers I ever installed Ford, Chevy, Mopar or anything else was the set of Dougs Headers I put on my 65 Valiant with a 360. I followed their instructions, used the Schumacher slant 6 to V8 mounts and they fit like a glove. No contact anywhere. I even used the slant 6...

Trying to find a nice 4 door Mopar is tougher than some 2 door cars. I have been looking for quite sometime such as a 1980 Aspen or Volare'. I prefer a slant six over a v8. Done with project cars. Finding something really clean is almost non existent

I’m looking to put a BBD carb setup on my ‘65 Dart w/ a slant 6. I need a floor mounted, cable actuated pedal assembly including the piece w/ the lever that the pedal pushes against. Thanks!

I like the Slant 6 and I'm not gonna let anyone else stop me from liking it. It's a cool engine and there's really not much else like it. I think even you'd be impressed with what the headers have added. I know I am.

Since you said you've already gotten "conversion mounts", I'll ASSUME you currently have a slant 6, which in turn, would have an A904 if it's an automatic transmission. Then your easiest swap would be with a '68 and later smallblock A904 (your slant 6 transmission will not fit the LA or Magnum...

Ah, good points. I figured there was some reason the A bodies had a different size than others, but wasn't sure. And...did the slant 6 have a different fan than the V8? Questions, questions. :)

There have been SO many builds that I've seen that have eclipsed a V8 build and that doesn't make sense to me. I wouldn't "mind" finding some TRW forged stock replacement pistons and there are some on ebay. But that's more expense that I don't have, plus, I believe the factory cast pistons will...
