    Slant 6 to 318 conversion

    Slant 6 to 318 conversion

    I feel although your over complicating things... cuz ima be honest I found sum that looks close enough, and it bolted right up. No reason it shouldn't work. Atleast for my application it should work fine.

    Slant 6 to 318 conversion

    A what? The 318 I have was originally connected to a automatic. Now it's connected to a manual. Just need a dust/inspection plate and the thin metal shim peice that goes between bellhousing and engine near the starter.

    Slant six fly wheel and clutch on a 318?

    I have a 1963 225 slant six attached to a A833 manual 4 speed transmission. I want to replace the old old one slant, with a 318 from 1985, I know the bellhousing is different between the two engines. But will the flywheel and clutch work? It's a 9 3/4inch clutch. Also, if anyone is located in...

    My friend... your standards and expectations are much higher than mine, but I can get that slant hulling pretty quick, I can only imagine a 318 in there. I'm not building a race car, or the perfect daily driver. I want what I got now, but with that v8 sound and more power. For example I drove...
