Search results for query: slant to v8

Slant and V8 Z bars do not interchange, and since your car is a 63, it would not have come with a V8, so I would say you’re trying to use slant parts on a V8 application. Not gonna happen.

He has a slant 6.

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 agree. Here in Tx. GM and pickups rule. Used to be a Mopar guy buys a slant Duster or Dart, to transplant a v8 and would usually give away the slant to be rid of it.

I have a one owner car sence 1973. The car has a 198 slant 6 with the snake skin landau top. I did some research and supposedly the car wasn't suppose to have the snake skin top. That was reserved for the 318 V8 and the 225 skant 6. Was this option on my car a mistake from the factory or a...

I’m guessing for an early A as some of stuff seemed to be for an early A. As for slant or V8 bellhousing, I don’t know.

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

My Dart is keeping cozy under the car cover for the winter. When spring comes I really need to start the V8 swap because I'm falling in love with the slow slant six.

Your slant sounds really good, if I didn't know I'd think it was a V8

There is limited info on the vin but if the vin shows a slant and it has a V8 (yes I know it can be swapped) that is a clue the vin is not original to the car.

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.

If you don't have a lot of time and energy to pour into the project, find a few local Mopar fans and get the slant six running. If you can get the motor to turn freely, either with the starter or turning the crank pulley with a breaker bar, there's only so much that can be wrong to keep a slant...

Not too bad to put in a V8. You have a 904 trans, and you can get a 904 for a small block. All the same connections and hardware will fit. Other than the throttle pressure linkage. I'd run the slant if it's not worn out. If it needs a rebuild I'd dump that 6 like a bad habit.

A 3 day engine swap slant 6 to V8 is a pipe dream. I do good to swap my race car engines in 3 days which are pretty much carbon copies of each other. In order to do your 3 day swap, you either have unlimited resources of very deep pockets. Good Luck!

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

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

?? 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

So I got to thinking - the 42RH I have for the Dart could still be used with the 318/390 and possibly with my rebuilt PB booster but not my rebuilt AC compressor. I could still use my just rebuilt 64 904 with the adapter I have that mates a slant to LA V8 904. Nice to have options EDIT: I...

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?

That's what I was thinking, more than just the one body type. Thanks. :thumbsup: I held onto it in case I ended up with another slant six car but everything I have now is a V8. The one A-Body I still have is also a V8 & when I replace the dual exhaust it'll be a larger diameter pipe anyway.

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.

Hold the phone. You need a carburetor for your: Okeh, you'll be doing an engine swap in your one and only car that you use for school you have to get to if you don't want to flunk out. But I guess you're not swapping in another Slant-6, because then you could just grab the carb off that engine...

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
