Search results for query: slant to v8

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...

I sent them an email but they seem to be confused on what I’m talking about. They insist that slant 6 and V8 boxes interchange, and yes they do, but they aren’t the “same”.

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

If the UCAs are not the same length, return them for exchange. Otherwise, set the passenger side camber first, no extra caster for max camber, then make the driver's side the same as the passenger side. I guess that is what they did but I also guess that you don't know what they set it to. If...

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.
