MVH, Vali68 needs to confirm that his new motor is 68 or later, because the smaller crank register in his transmission won't take an early crank. If the motor is earlier than 68, will I need to replace the tranny to on that will work on it? Say a 67 or 66 Transmission?

So I need the number on the motor and the number on the Tranny to look this up right? When we pulled the motor, we left the torque converter in the tranny. Could it be possible I need to change to the one that came with the newer motor? I can also look at the two and see if there is a difference.

Hello, My son and I are in the process of adding a motor to our 68 Valiant(Slant6). We are having issues trying to get the motor back lined up on the tranny(which we didn't remove from the car. only the old tired motor). Since the vehicle is on an incline on the driveway, I am thinking that...

I've tried several local parts stores and online purchases, but every one of them I had, I had to take back for a refund. Does anyone know the right part number for the lower Radiator hose that fits the slant 6 in a 68 valiant? The ones they keep selling me are either not molded to fit it or...

thanks.

Ok. This is strange. When I got in the car to come home from work, I started her up and she ran like nothing had ever happened. Had plenty of power and wasn't sputtering a bit like she was on the morning drive into work!!!!! I wonder if I didn't get some crap fuel or if the fuel filter is...

Since it's a daily driver and I can't afford to have the car down for a day, Can I clean up the carb with it still intact on the motor until I can get to it this weekend? Walking to work and back is not an option right now.

This morning when I started the Valiant, it was sounding like the motor was struggling to stay running. once I got her to idle, I went to drive away and she sputters and feels like she has no power all the way to work!!! Could it be she needs some additive to her gas tank or do I have a more...

340Doc, It has electronic egnition

I'm about to swap out a Slant6 in my Valiant to another Slant6 I have replaced gaskets and cleaned up. This is the first time I am doing this. I have a 1ton hoist, floorjack, Jack stands, chain, leveler bar, and plenty of hand tools and Air tools to do the job. What is the process? I think I...

My 68 Valiant with a slant 6 3.7 stalled on me yesterday. It took me a minute to get her to fire back up. Once it did start, the motor was very shaky and was running really rough. I was only a mile or so from the house, so I started driving it, but it would only go about 10mph. No power. Pinging...

Marlabuck, Where did you find those lime colored hoses?

Just clean up any grease or fluid that is on the motor. Then, you can hand sand it to give the paint something to cling to. I used high heat flat black as a base coat on mine. Then painted the block Chrysler Red. And did the manifold black. The oil pan and valve cover is Silver. All the brackets...

I won't have a lift to use. So I am using a engine hoist, 3 ton jack, jack stands, and whatever else I can muster to get both out of the car. It maybe more of a challenge getting them out than getting them back in.

Good idea. Yeah the tranny is going to have to come out too.

Thanks for the info. I have a 1 ton hoist, 3 ton jack, 3 ton jack stands, compressor, air ratchets, torques wrenches, sockets, open box wrenches, etc to do the job. Just didn't know if I should plan it taking a whole weekend or what.

I know there are some first comers here who have experienced their first slant 6 motor pull. I am not looking for an exact time frame, but how long did it take before you were able to get the motor out of the car? We have a 68 Valiant we need to pull the cracked block motor out of and...

I for one apologize if what I posted offended you in any way. These cars we have mean a lot to us, so we do what we can to keep them going. Sounds like you got some good advice from some of the more experienced users of this forum. Keep up with your posts. We want to see you on here as much as...

Does anyone have or know where I can get an assembly view of the oil pump that goes on a slant 6 225 motor? I can't find it in my manuals I have for the 68 Valiant. I need to take the one I have apart and clean it. But I want to make sure I put everything back together right.

Wow. You could have done the work yourself in your own garage for less than half that price. Maybe it would have took longer, but still!!!!! $k for a slant 6 rebuild???? Better have some real nice performance mods.

Thanks.

I am looking to put a new oil pump on the Slant 6 225 I am building in my garage. I see the old oil pump is a 6 hole oil pump. All the new ones show only 5 holes, but the gaskets still come as a 6 hole pump. How do I make sure I apply this 5 hole pump correctly to eliminate the hassle of taking...

Yeah. Thats what I'm thinking too.

Guess I could go to NAPA and get some bolts and lock washers. I need some anyways because the motor was missing quite a few bolts. Some of them were even metric which I didn't understand at all.

thanks. Dont need that happening.

I looked at the front of the rebuild slant6 I have on my engine stand and noticed my son only used 2 small bolts to attach the front pulley to the crank. Do I need to find more bolts and put them in there or will the 2 bolts and the huge bolt that holds the pulley onto the crank be fine?

Thanks for the link srixon4406. That helps shows the different pans and it looks like the one I have on the rebuild motor is 987(???) Pan. And the one that is in the car now is a 359(???). The ones in the picture that are in the middle is what I have. The blue pan would be on the motor that is...

I hear a lot of people say that the Oil pans for the 225 Slant6 will interchange with each other. Is that true? The reason I'm asking is because the slant6 motor that is in my 68 valiant has an oil pan with the drain plug on the side of it and the hump is set back like 7 inches or so from the...

I have a auto tranny from a 70 Dart Slant 6 that has cables. Will this tranny work on a 65 Auto Dart?
