Google "water neck extension" That's what I am using on my V8. I would assume that the same principle applies to your slant.

I can send you a pic of mine if James requires some visual evidence of an OEM battery tray in place (59 years old!). Perhaps James is selling Chinese "close enough"?. Not likely an issue on an early or later Slant car. However, the early A V8 cars are a lot tighter under the hood (as I'm sure...

Yes, the center links (drag links are a completely different animal) on early As are different between slant 6s and V8s. You appear to already have the "drop center" V8 link, the slant units are straight across. Now for why it's rubbing- what EXACTLY are you using for motor mount...

Ha. So you're not confident that the Bilsteins would be helpful in a darned original configuration. Fair enough. Hey, this is a granny car. It's got a 1bbl slant-six with an all-original exhaust system with a factory muffler and a 1-1/2" tailpipe. It is completely original and low mileage...

Hello, I will be converting my 1966 Dart 225 slant 1 barrel intake to a super six intake. I had some questions. I have read you need a gas pedal from an early model V8 a-body to replace the current rod style, these are somewhat hard to find, is there another option like a universal cable style...

I'm looking to buy new Doug's headers part# D453 for the new engine that I put together for my 73 Dart. I was about to order them, but I checked the application list and it says "no" for column shift auto transmission. Can anyone confirm if this is true or not? Will they not fit? Is that shift...

So back to your post. $600, that's a first, and obviously ridiculous. Post a wanted add in the wanted parts section. Also keep your eye out on the parts car section. One will pop up at a reasonable price on the site. Also welcome to the site. Probably should have said that first. :-)

i don't restore cars. i'm a mechanic and i work on old cars (and sometimes new). you need suspension rebuilt? no problem. you need a rear end swapped? sure thing. wanna go from a slant to a V8, or swap a big block? that's my jam. but no restoration. brakes, waterpumps, tune ups, reseal an...

Just wait until you see the gen 1 hemi in my Jeep haha

Get to work.. and i will be 100% honest... if someone opens their hood to a slant 6 with headers and a offy 4, it makes me happier than yet another generic v8 (which i'm building) the slant 6 cool factor is huge

If the Charger trans is a 904, probably won't have to clearance the trans tunnel seam. If I remember (???), the 65 center links are the same six or V8. Or is that 66 only?? Will almost surely need a bigger radiator. But the 65 opening is large enough to handle bigger, unlike the opening in...

i have a 64-65 Radiator in my 66 because champion has a smaller hose connection on their 66 slant radiator for some reason. i made a filler panel on the passenger side to bolt it in. yet had no issues with the 65 v8 radiator when i had that in the car.

Hello there FABO, Ive been looking at and potentially thinking about purchasing a 1967 barracuda V8 k member with motor mounts. I am planning on taking out the slant six drive line in my 1972 Duster and throwing in a small block and whole new drive line. Wanted to come on here and ask if a 1967...

A "HEMI" makes a better boat anchor. It is heavier, and under water is the only place it will last longer than a slant. :p

The rest of the car is in its stock condition, I figure whether I keep the slant or not im gonna get beefier brakes an torsions bars at some point.

never had to cut anything im my car.

I have a couple to sell. Early? Smaller lid, top only, power coated black. $40 SHIPPED in the US. Larger 11 x 4 Lid and base. Lid is power coated silver has a vent nipple. Base for a 1 barrel is power coated black. $50 plus shipping. I will get you a quote based on your address. It will not fit...

You either need a V8 K or what are called "swap" engine mounts. There are a acouple of manufacturers, I've forgotten where they ended up, as one outfit sold You will need a bell FOR AN A body. Pickup/ van bells won't work.. Wander over to an outfit called Brewer's Performance. The...

I know what you mean. It seems like it's always something. Hope you get it sorted out so you can start enjoying your car again.

I have a 1964 plymouth Valiant no post slant six. I'm building a 1968 340. Will it fit like you say ? Or what do I need to do to make the mods in order to run this motor in my 64 ?

Their swap mounts are designed for SB or Slant 6 k frames, the reproduction mount that I referred to is a reproduction of the original factory BB mount, for use on the factory BB K frame..

Oh, I agree this is a terrible idea, and I'm well aware that it is going to be incredibly front heavy, and it will indeed need a lot of reinforcement. I'm tired of seeing cookie cutter builds, and no one's swapped a 5.9 Cummins into a Duster....for good reason, but still.

Hello @myduster360, I just joined FABO after discovering this Swinger V6 on YTube - beautiful job! Long story short - I’ve been brainstorming the perfect car to scratch my fun-driver itch and have been schooled by a good friend on the inherent goodness of the old A-Body MoPar chassis. I’m...

motor and trans together probably 800-ish it's a cool piece, but there's a very narrow audience out there for it. you could likely make a little more parting it, but that's a bunch of work for not a whole bunch more dough-- and then you're left with basically a block and you gotta get rid of...

Ok so I had an extra front frame rail that had the right radiator support. After measuring I realized that there is a 3 " difference between the v8 cars and the slant 6 in the radiator opening. Luckily the extra was a v8. So I'm going to cut out and put the new one in. This should give me the...

Slant six cars got a much smaller opening in the rad yoke for the rad than the V8 cars. If you want to put a V8 in what was originally a /6 car, you need a bigger rad opening. So check the junkyards for a car originally equipped V8 and have them remove the rad yoke side panels. Install those...

...would be more worthwhile. It is not that hard to changeout the K and thus suspension. You need v8 suspension? as is maybe discs, T bat, etc????? Going from slant to v8 you will want correct radiator and the 7 1/4 will maybe prove small. There are a millions threads on such swaps.

It's entirely possible. I've never really looked into it. I've bought and sold quite a few over the years, and the two '75-'76 iron-case ones I had were the only 30-spline short-tails. Last time I looked at Brewer's, the short 30-spline aluminum tailshaft housing--which is not the same as the...

The slant six powered 1960 Dart 4drs curb weight was 3,630,the 60 Savoy was 3,540 They honesty were not bad at all as daily drivers. All of mine had the push button automatics. The flat six in.the 57's with a 2 speed powerflite was a slug. That being said I prefer the 318 cars. 1957...

Yes you can, as long as they’re both push buttons from the same year. 63-65 all interchange internally. 62 and older gets iffy. The cables for the slant 6 and small block are the same even. Though routing is different so may have to move a bracket here or there. Big block are longer. I would...
