In Australia, the 1969 Valiant Pacer came with a 225 Slant-6 factory-rated at…175 hp! So now can we talk? Great, I'll start: Chrysler South Africa put out 225 Slant-6s factory-rated at 190 hp, too. And all these numbers are more or less bogus. Consider: The 225 1bbl engine's published rating was...

It has no engine... OR wiring, OR gas pedal, wiper motor, HVAC unit... Then there is the contents of the trunk to inspect: Just about everything that was removed was in the trunk. Putting this back together might not be that hard. The K member is from a 73-76 Slant six model. I'll...

Yeah. I’ve recently learned this. A non-AC slant six has the rod type linkage. To move to the cable type linkage needed for this conversion, you need the v8 (or slant six w/AC) gas pedal. Those supported the throttle cable.

My 65 Barracuda had the Commando 273, 4 speed, and rally suspension with HD torsion bars, HD rear springs and front sway bar. But it had 13 inch wheels and no tach. It was not a Formula S. The original 13 inch wheels got replaced long ago, and for the past 50 years it has had an aftermarket...

Should be left side only, if that is 73 and later slant 6 to v8. The left side was tall for the slant 6 and you are cutting it down and drilling to a more useable location. I don't recall any modification to the passenger side when I did mine. I did 73 and later slant 6 to B/RB, but now I put in...

These are brand new in box with bolts and installation sheet. Early A body Slant 6 and v8 k frames to 340 or 360. $190.00 plus shipping and Insurance from 17025 S. Central PA. These have been sold out at Schumacher. Looking to get money back. Highwaystar

I agree. A lot of times, these guys don't realize that one, a 318 may be all someone has and two, as hard as it may be to believe, a 318 just might be what they WANT. Like me bein a slant 6 guy. I have people all the time askin me "why did you build "THAT", it'll never be a V8?" ......and...

I too have found the FBO plates to be inaccurate on both slant sixes and V8s and I've made mention of it here before, but was run over like a freight train with disagreement when I said something about it, so I just kept quiet after that. My experience on the slant 6 was the same as what's...

I've had over 400 cars since I was 13 years old. Most all were V8s except a few Jeeps and Military trucks. I have to say with 100% certainty that this slant 6 Valiant I have now is BY FAR the most fun car I've ever had. It never fails to put a smile on my face. It'll never be a V8, but it's very...

My 61 w200 had a sort of “universal” bellhousing. It has the slant and v8 bolt patterns. There is another set of holes maybe for the flathead six? Im pretty sure whatever V8 bolted to it would need to have the early style longer 8 bolt flange. The slant had a weird offset flywheel that I had to...

It depends on the year of the V-8 and the year of the trans. The 904 converter pilot got larger in 1968. So, a 68 or newer 904 will not fit the crank of a 1967 or older V-8 (same for the slant six)

I broke the /6 believe it or not and I have to figure out what was done to that transmission still. I have a pushbutton for the V8

I have this same model throttle body on the built slant six in the 68 Barracuda. it is very tunable and drivable. The throttle body is used on 2002 GM 4.3 L v6 motors.The same size TB was also used on GM 5.0L v8's of that same era. The TB was disassembled, cleaned and polished internally by a...

I grew up in the fuel injection Era, so my experience in this world of distributors and carbs is growing by the day. Luckily, I built this car with dad 24 years ago and I'm even more blessed that he kept it in the corner all those years while I was busy being irresponsible. I've spent a lot...

are the transmission lines the same ? Ones for v8 are 30-45$ . Once for slant are 150-200$ ? Aren't the trans the same other than the bell ? Hate to waste cash if not needed

SLANT 6 TO V8 SMALLBLOCK CONVERSION MOTOR MOUNTS $ 150.00 SHIPPING INCLUDED TO LOWER 48 FROM 12503 NY

Yep, used to be a slant six car. When I was 17 we pulled the engine out of a motor home in a field. No clue if that motorhome had AC but my 17 year old mind wasn’t thinking about anything besides getting a V8.

Hi there, looking for the passenger side engine bracket for a V8 K member to 318 magnum (technically 340-360 should fit) I don’t mind a 318 mount even if I have to make shims. Currently swapped from a slant 6 k-member to a QA1 and realized my drive one fits but not my passenger side. I’m...

LOLnope. …except they're running richer, for known reasons that can be fixed. And yet somehow, millions of Slant-6 engines without this year-specific problem don't run lean in 1 and 6. Huh. Habbout that. Lard works in mysterious ways, I guess. Oh, hey, wait a minute, you're in Australia! So...

The OP that started this thread is in Switzerland. What you wrote above aligns with his viewpoint. I don't see 4 door cars as performance models and for all of my life, that was all that I aimed for. Americans of my age grew up with the 2 doors being the performance models and the 4 doors being...

FREAKIN - A!!!!!!!

Two 2001 V8 4wd Dodge Dakotas. The two tone truck is a low mileage (100K) 5.9 liter V8 magnum truck. It has a great drivetrain, excellent interior, and very good tires. Unfortunately, it spent too much time in New Hampshire, and the frame and body are badly rusted. The other truck is a 4.7liter...

Hello, new member from Oregon, as the title states. I have a couple of A-bodies, a 73 Dart my dad and I work on sometimes; it's mostly done but needs paint; I have done a lot of work to that one. I'm getting ready to pull a 1966 Dart 270 Sedan out of storage and turn it back into a daily...

Bingo, even if you can’t make that deal work, someone else will have a pre-‘68 slant six 904 closer to you, and it will usually be very affordable. If that person is doing a V8 swap, they most likely wont need the driveshaft either. I think you could easily do the whole 904 conversion for...

225. I cannot remember, but it is the same as one of the V8s. I THINK it's a big block, but I wouldn't swear to it. The one Charlie posted above will do it. I just happened to have one in a bucket of bolts. I don't know for sure which engine it came from. All of the slant sixes take the same...

I bet the slant got the job done too! Although probably slowly. lol

There's a '65 A-body V8 car for sale in Los Angeles area (Canoga Park) for only $2k. Do yourself a favor and get that for a conversion donor rather than the '77 Charger, unless you really want the later 360 drivetrain. A '65 273 car will have all the parts you need to do a much less painful...

I have a bunch of Mopar parts for sale. And even more stuff that isn't listed yet. I'd consider selling the whole collection for a great price, but you'd need to look at it first. I'm just now just digging into it, but I've got my own stuff and stuff from another collection I bought years ago...

What parts would I need if I wanted to replace my 1965 273 V8 engine with a 1975 slant 6 engine? The slanty has an auto behind it, while the 273 has a 3 speed on the tree, which I would like to retain. I think it's an A-745 gearbox. Would the Slanty bell housing bolt to the A-745 gear box? If...

So here's a little background info on my car and current setup. My 74 Duster was originally a Slant 6, base everything model. The previous owner stuck a V8 K-member in it, and gave me a 318 with an A904 transmission with it on the side. Both needed rebuilt. I decided to go a different route...
