    Lessons learned - elephant ears

    if the engine is to high in the front, it sounds like they mounted them to high. mine sat the same as it did on the factory mounts.

    Lessons learned - elephant ears

    I would pull my engine and leave the trans. had a couple Long bolts that I cut the heads off and would thread into the block through the water pump housing. then pull the rest and housing and let the engine rest on those two studs one the hoist was starting to lift the engine. I could slide the...

    Boosted slant?

    block was cracked before boost was added. I missed it when the block was cleaned and milled ( should have saw it ) think it froze at some point. I have multiport fuel injection on it. i knew I could control each cylinders injector that way. it has a cam, probably more duration than ideal but it...

    Boosted slant?

    I will say 5-7psi really wakes a slant up! I will also say so far mine has had No issues with that level and more ( on a fairly safe tune ). Even with .120 off the block, Stock pistons with some new rings and bearings. I wanted to put it together on the cheap before spending the money on fancy...

    Anyone running a Holley Sniper 2300 on their slant?

    I had the 4bbl Aussie Hurricane. while I agree it helps with distribution in my opinion it was smarter to go with multiport. the cost of having a old Offy intake I picked up cheap was not that bad. I also wanted the extra room for the turbo that the Aussie intake was using.

    Anyone running a Holley Sniper 2300 on their slant?

    I had the Aussie intake with a carb, then a FiTech TBI set up. wish I would have never wasted my time with the FiTech on the slant. Should have followed my gut and just took the plunge right away. I honestly could not believe the difference had I not seen it myself. even on initial start up...

    66 Valiant questions

    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.

    Zinc oil supplement

    I agree, unless we are talking extreme situations. found an old case of 10w40 in the corner of the garage ( probably there over 15 years ) . at the bottom of the bottles is a caramel colored sludge. might be able to get it resuspended if I put it in a paint shaker when it was warm.

    TorqStorm Supercharger build advice needed

    Rusty if you were closer I would drive over and take ya for a spin. finally getting this thing together makes me want to kick myself for not boosting a slant when I first cooked up this idea....... even 5-6psi on my slant is a Total Blast

    TorqStorm Supercharger build advice needed

    I'm 8.5-9ish to one on crap 91 ( I do have an intercooler to help with intake temps ). very conservative with my tune. Have been sneaking up on it ( 6psi is a Lot of fun already ).

    And So It Begins....

    my wife & daughter get such a kick out of how many people have to stop & ask about our little 6. usually end up with one of 3 questions. how much horsepower? how quick in the 1/4? or how's the gas mileage? LOL We have more fun with this little car, than I ever did with the Big Block in the...

    And So It Begins....

    yes, the engine master guys. I don't think they really did try, but I only saw the way it was aired after editing ( and constant trash talk ). Weird **** is where its at, I know when I walk through a car show I spend more time looking at the oddball car than the rows of Mustangs, Camaros...

    And So It Begins....

    those engine power guys are slant haters..... they didnt even give it a real shot. plenty of people have gone over 7psi with a Felpro head gasket. I know I have..... its a shame they never really even tried with that engine. I cant wait to see you put this thing in Vixen. I totally get the...

    Damper retaining bolt?

    i have run a 72 and up radiator and now a 64-65 radiator in my 66 without an issue ( all using the spacer ). only reason I didn't buy the 66 radiator from Champion is its listed with a smaller hose connection. IF I wasn't in a rush to get it I would have contacted and verified it was not...

    64-66 cuda fold down seat into 63-66 dart

    just took all the attaching hardware and tabs from the Barracuda. lowers bolted in after drilling the mounting holes ( if I remember correctly, its been a few years ) welded the tabs for the upper latches. I drilled out all the spot welds for the x-braces , just in case I changed my mind. I made...

    Heavy duty torson bars for my 1964 plymouth valiant

    I have PST 1.03's , ran them with a 318 and now the slant. I like them, my only complaint is the KYB shocks I put on. those will be getting replaced at some point with a set of Bilstiens or something similar

    64-66 cuda fold down seat into 63-66 dart

    RRR, I will try and get a couple pictures this weekend. I cant say on the convertible but, I'm pretty sure the Barracuda seat is a little narrower than my Valiant's original ( for the buckle that held it down ? )

    Disconnect battery when parked?

    I installed an electronic kill switch for the same reason. I know the wiring is all good in the car, went through the harness when I put it back together and replaced a lot of it when upgrading. when I had to move the battery to the trunk I wanted a way to shut it off without opening the trunk...

    Hedman Husler Fenderwell exit headers - Clearance for front tires

    in my opinion the Headman version is nicer that the Hooker. a little more tire clearance and was easier to tuck the exhaust up on my car. I was running a RB with Indy heads and bought the set for raised ports. Ran a pretty short tire up to have as much clearance as I could.
