Here is a printout of an electronic kit from Rick Ehrenberg:

My wife bought the car from her mom which was a 69 Dodge Charger 318 automatic. The car was originally a Missouri rental car. It had a 7.25 rear end.

I'd agree if he didn't have to pull the six anyways, so I don't see the swap should hinder his decision since either engine he has to do one. If he feels staying with six fills his needs and don't see a v8 swap in his future then I'd say go for it.

The stupid is pretty much part of the point at this point. Atleast that's my outlook.

Slant blew the #6 rod out the side of the block after 58 years of service (64’ Valiant Wagon). It is time to V8 swap. I have everything I need for the swap with the exception of the V8 gas pedal assembly. Having a hard time tracking it down. Looking for one or an easy alternative.

Slant 6 clutch is different than the v-8 clutch Bell housing I need to check on the PN. Unless someone else chimes in. Other than wiring harness - this is not non- reversible. Just some work, that’s all. But you know what they say- go V8 and never look back. Syleng1

Growing up, my dad had a 1962 Valiant that he totaled, then a 1964 Valiant and a 1964 Stepside Dodge D100, all with 225 /6s. He let me help him rebuild the slant in the 1964 Valiant that he bought used. Don't know how many times the odometer had tripped by that point but we found two broken...

My advice is focused on you having a hard pedal but ineffective stopping power,,,,if that isn't the case then Ignore me. But,,,The nine inch brakes just don't don't work well with any wheels larger than the original 13 inch rim. i know, as I have a 71 demon slant six that would stop only very...

I used to argue all the time with V8 guys when I was a slanter. It's not that the slant 6 can beat every engine out there when modified because it can't it's just that it's so neat it can go down the road as fast as it can when you do the right things. Obviously a lot of that reliability starts...

Probably. Unless the drums were swapped on. These cars are like 50 years old so a lot can happen. Someone that ordered the car talked the dealership into taking the disks off, some drag racer thought they needed drums for less rolling resistance, somebody was parting this car and stole the...

here is how Elko performance in Australia do it variable rate rack off a holden, you can have power or manual this is what the advert said $1295 -AP6 & VC slant 6 Valiant Rack & Pinion setup- 1 only- Includes Modified k frame, power rack tie rod ends intermediate shaft steering knuckles...

Ah - forgot the 65 trans took a ball and trunnion front joint. But, yeah. There's also pulleys and brackets. Will the 77 360's pulleys and brackets fit in a 65 Valiant??? Don't know. May well not, especially if the 77 had A/C. Might need to scrounge around a bit to find what you need. And...

Hi, I’m still learning the ins and outs of classic cars so I wanted to ask about the possible engines a Feather Duster could have? I found a 1976 Plymouth Duster for sale that needs some work but I’m looking for a Feather Duster so I wanted to confirm it was one before I inquired about it. I...

Assuming both are automatics- get the transmission from the Diplomat, too. The slant 6 transmission will not fit a V8. Since the 318 is a 1987, it may still have the Lean Burn system on it, which you will most likely want to delete- all this will involve is an earlier electronic ignition...

What I know of 1963 to 1966 has the same cross member.

Nice sounding Leaning Tower Of Power Rusty. I like v8's but that has a nice sound. To @tandart66, If I had a 66 (which I have) I wouldn't transplant a 65 drive train in it. I would go 66 or newer. 65 273's are different than the 66 and newer ones. The heads, intake, transmission, linkage and...

Sorry all for lack of info,it originally had a slant 6 with 3 speed,I imagine rear was small but not sure,do the motor mount kits to swap a V8 or do i need to change k member? Also what size headers for 3inch exhaust? Also would love to have 15 inch wheels and large rear good for street and...

What kind of mechanical abilities do you have? Have you ever done a motor swap, or transmission repair/adjustment?

hey all new to the group.doing a swap on our 65 valliant rag top.wonder what I need to change out the throttle linkage. Ted

I’m in Indy, could use this setup

Yes, thank you, I'm aware that the GM HEI system is superior, I've seen the testing and so forth on slant six forum, great stuff. So, do you know why 3 ohms would be specified for 4 and 6 cylinders and lower resistance for v8's? That's the part I don't get. Why would one not want more spark...

Yup, or, get a '66 V8 parts car to do the changeover, or, just buy a '66 Dart with a V8 already in it.

I'm having a tough time trying to locate a /6 throttle cable for a 1965 B-body. I need the extra length over the v8 cables. Are the A-body cable the same length? Stock v8 cables are 20" on the b-body. Con someone post the length of theirs? Thanks.

i daily drive a 80 D150 step bed with /6 od833 and love it! few ask when im V8 swaping it i just shake my head no!! but it would be so easy to do!!

That's what I would do also. I like the 225 A cars. A real pleasure for cruising around. My favorite of the many I've owned was a 68 4dr, auto ac, ps, pb Dart. That was a great do everything car. It certainly earned my respect. If I had a clean 2dr 225 A car and wanted a v8, it would have to run...

If the second car (273 car) has the better body, I'd build that one. If neither one has a good solid body, I'd find a third one that does and build it instead. Use the other two for parts. If your second car is good, I'd keep it a 273 and sell the rebuilt 225 to help fund the 273 build (assuming...

You've gathered incorrectly. This is why one dipstick and tube does not fit all. For example, try putting a 67-76 A body slant 6 pan on a 66 and back slant 6 A body. Ain't happenin, because the pans are shaped differently. There are subtle shape differences in V8 pans as well, so you have to be...

I actually have had a few that never had issues. I am not easy on parts. I did break a 8.75 behind a slant.

Almost every time someone asks me what I have in my Duster, I answer "just a 318." Normal response to that is "nothing wrong with that, one of the best engines ever made". FWIW, I think you running a Slant 6 is cool.

Sorry i am in the UK i forgot i think in the USA its called a hood i want one like the car in the photo i am 80 years old i have had many Mopars but could never get used to LHD this car i have found is RHD but it is in very sad condition The first Mopar i got was a 67 Fastback Barracuda i loved...
