Thanks guys. Where would one find specs on different dampers. weight, diameter, snout od, snout id, etc.etc. I read that some have even used internally ballanced sbc dampers on /6's.

Thanks Brandon. What about if I forget about the 440. Can I use the same balancer for all the slants form let's say from 1970 up to 1986. I know that there was a forged crank and a cast crank I know that there are some differences. Aside from the timing marks could a damper be swapped from a...

does any one know what harmonic dampers will work on the 80's hydraulic lifter motor's? I've heard that you can use a 440 damper on a /6 but I dont remember seeing anything that said what years. Bascially im looking for a damper that slightly smaller in diameter and without grooves for pulleys...

Hey Badvert65 how did you make them?

hey thanks guys, i got the broken piece off with some heat and an automatic center punch (its all i had) I was able to back it out until i could get some needle nose pliers on it. then I went out and bought a new tap. And then I figured out why the first one broke....because it was bottomed out...

Ok guys so how should I go about this? Usually when this happens to me I'm making something stupid so I either start over from scratch or I abandon the project. This time I'm hell bent on fixing this. So my dad never showed me how to get a broken tap out. Since you all are like surrogate fathers...

I'm just about to start fixing the same thing, although I only have 1 stud (so far) that I'm going to have to drill out. One question I have is where do I find the brass washers for securing the manifolds to the head. I'm replacing all the studs (including the ones in the head) and all the...

This weekend I plan to replace all the vacuum lines under the hood. Does anyone happen to know what size or sizes I need to buy and how much. The car is a 72 dart w/ac and a slant six. I don't want to remove anything until I'm ready to replace. Also is it worth it to buy silicone vacuum hoses...

Thanks kid. I was hoping to do it without any adapter. I wonder if anyone has cut off the part of the oil pump where the filter screws on and threaded it to accept lines. Sometimes I have a tendency to over think things. I just would prefer to do it with no adaptors.

Does anyone know if there is a US application for a filter less oil pump for the slant. I'm looking for something like the guys down under are using.

Hey thanks for all the info guys. I didn't buy them up fast enough. Oh well maybe next time.

I understand that all the valve train for hydo. would have do be used. Basically I would like to get all the block work done, then get the motor back in the car the take my time building a head. I plan to use the hydraulic setup. Will the hydro. valve train work on a 75 head? I know that the...

Ok so now does anyone know can I use the pre 80 head with the hydraulic valve train? I know that I can run mechanical cam in a hydraulic head but can I do the opposite. Use the non hydraulic head with hydraulic valve train?

I bought a long block that I found on ebay. I ended paying 300 for it. The buy it now price was 350 but I got the guy to knock off 50 because I picked it up. Last time I checked he still had one listed now the price is 600. It came with a few gaskets and an oil pump. I'm actually getting close...

Wow thanks all. It looks like I have a little more to do than I originally thought. Thanks for all the info huge help.

Thanks Charlie_S, that's what I thought about the trans the motor I am working on is a rebuilt that was never run. It is a hydraulic cam motor but like I mentioned above I could've been built for a forklift for all I know. I bought it because most of the machine work has already been done and...

I plan on driving the car ad much ad possible. Right now it's a daily driver, when I was younger the motors I built with my dad were real conservative. He was all about building something practical, smoothly idle, good cold starts, nothing with headers. Now it's my turn to build a lumpy rough...

Ok so I did some looking Clifford has a few cams 2 of which they say are for manual trans. only... I spoke with a guy from Clifford and he said that with the bigger cams the motor wouldn't create enough vacuum to shift the trans....Is this right? I don’t remember any vacuum lines going to...

Does anyone know where one can get a bronze distributor gear for our slants. I don't remember where I read it but I thought that there was someone stateside that had the specs. to make one. I know that they are available down under. Thanks.

Thanks for replying the seller doesn't know what they came off of. I dont want to buy them if they wont fit on my 72 dart. What do you guys think it's worth? I think he wants to much(250) for them. What do you think?

Does anyone know what these headers will fit. I'm thinking about buying these but are they car or truck? Also does anyone know who made them or know anything about them? Thanks

Cool, thanks. One other thing that I was wondering is am I going to have to get the pushrods cut down or should they be alright?

chj, I'm guessing that you mean billet timing chain gear set? Also I didn't catch the 35 -75 (3/4 Race as they were known in the day) reference. Could you please elaborate a little? BillGrissom, when I bought the engine I just assumed that it was either a car or truck motor from a smaller...

I recently purchased a rebuilt slant with the intention of just dropping it in my 72 swinger. After thinking it over I have no idea what it was built for. *I purchased it from a parts re builder in Michigan and they don't rebuild engines. They acquired several of them in a surplus deal. The...

I bypassed the NSS to proove it out. The no start didnt happen all the time. This car is my daily driver how else do you start the car if its acting like the NSS is bad? As it turns out when I went to the parts store to buy the NSS when I came out I got another no start, so if the NSS was...

I just had the same issue with my 72 dart. When it got cold out it seemed like I had to find a sweet spot in the shifter selector until this morning which there was no more sweet spot. I read in another post to bypass the neutral safety switch by jumping one of the pins on the starter relay to...
