    Swapping from 170 to 225

    If anyone is curious, the swap went well. Thanks for the advise. After inspection, it appears someone put a post 67 engine in my 66 valiant parts car. So, I got really delayed when the output shaft didn't fit properly. No worries, there are always parts somewhere. Swapped the flywheel and...

    Swapping from 170 to 225

    Thanks for the info. I was hoping this was the case. If you make the arrangements, you can have it. I have nowhere to store it and its probably headed to the scrap yard, though I'll try to make a post and see if anyone wants it.

    Swapping from 170 to 225

    I have a 170 w/ automatic currently. It runs, but that's it. I ran across a 225 that was in much better shape, so I purchased it. The 225 was originally attached to a standard transmission. Now I am sitting here wondering if I am going to need another flywheel. I'd like to find out before I...

    Oil leaks

    Is your valve cover leaking? I just ask because a month ago, i thought my whole engine was leaking. There was oil on just about all parts, and it seemed like it was on every gasket. And the whole bottom of my car had an oil layer and splatters all over the place, you should've seen me when i...

    Need /6 help

    Just some quick things to mention. First, i would like to throw out some simple stuff that others might be able to elaborate more on. My slant was smoking about 6 months after i got it. Ultimately it was poorly tuned carb. After you rebuilt it, did you turn the little rich/lean screw? and...

    Crankshaft pulley cross overs?

    Hmm, i'd have to get some first hand experience to verify this. But, i'm not sure i could live it down. A chevy part to solve my problem, my friends would rib me everytime i opened my hood.

    Crankshaft pulley cross overs?

    Thanks charlie, but i'm not going to be doing this job for months from now. I don't even have all the parts in the same place to compare stuff. But i will be sure to message you when i start up. We can talk then. Looks like you have a great mounting set up there. Maybe i can imitate it.

    Crankshaft pulley cross overs?

    You are masterful at bringing me down before lifting me back up. But, it will not be a factory air. It will be an aftermarket system with a sanden 508 compressor. As far as the bracket goes, i was going to deal with that issue when i got there. I won't be installing this for a couple of...

    Crankshaft pulley cross overs?

    Well, i'm the proud new owner of an A/C system for my 66 valiant. But, i can't seem to find a 3 groove crankshaft pulley for a slant 6 anywhere. So, i thought i'd throw it out there to y'all. Is the slant 6 crankshaft pulley unique? Are there other mopar engines i could pull one from that...

    Headers for slant 6

    72 demon. How does that goofy looking pipe sound? any different? Did you notice a diff in how it ran after you put it in? Also, if you've already installed it, can you send a pic under the hood, i'd like to see how that looks. It seems so funny shaped, i imagine it looking funny under the hood.

    To anyone in or near San Antonio, TX. Free slant.

    For some reason i thought that would be the first response. The problem is that my home is in Corpus Christi. I'd rather someone that needed it got it. I'm just going to get it so i can store it for a year or so and rebuild it and swap my slant out for a fresh, new one. The transmission is...

    To anyone in or near San Antonio, TX. Free slant.

    This is not mine. But i would hate to see this go to a junk yard (or worse, a scrap yard). I might pick it up in a couple of weeks, but thats unclear since i don't own a truck. http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/pts/1046764078.html

    Went to tighten up the valve train and got a nasty surprise.

    I love it. Glad i'm not the only one putting my slant thru (more than thru) the paces.

    Went to tighten up the valve train and got a nasty surprise.

    Alright, a flashlight really cleared that up. Turns out the lifter was all messed up. But only because it had FALLEN OUT. I guess i let my rockers get FAR too loose and it let go of my rod and it all went haywire. Well, that could've been a mess. Good thing i decided to change my valve...

    Went to tighten up the valve train and got a nasty surprise.

    One of my rods was just sitting there and the rocker was sticking straight up. The rocker doesn't look damaged. The rod doesn't look damages (but i'm still replacing it). Problem is that the lifter looks messed up. Do these periodically fail? I thought they were solid? Anyway, i can move...

    Exhaust gasket replacement failure.

    player, i'm with you on that stupid little flapper. Next time i have to do this, i'm gonna punch that little ***** out and weld the holes shut. It has no purpose south of the mason/dixon line.

    Exhaust gasket replacement failure.

    Alright, took everyone's advice. It feels nice and sturdy now. Once i got it off, i realized that there was no leaking on the exhaust/intake gasket itself. The only leaks were at the heat riser gasket and the exhaust manifold to pipe gasket. Luckily, my bicycle had two flat tires when i...

    Anyone looking for parts. Heres a nice ad

    http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/pts/992132170.html http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/pts/992109794.html These aren't mine. I just ran into them and i don't need them. So i thought i'd throw it out to y'all guys.

    Exhaust gasket replacement failure.

    Well, i am not a very skilled exhaust mechanic. But i plan to be on the next round of trying. After reading this: http://www.slantsix.org/articles/manifold-install/types-mounting.htm I realized i made a series of mistakes. So i might as well list them so we can get that out of the way. I...

    Slant mpg

    Ya, i definitely get somewhere between 20-24 miles to the gallon. Has anyone else seen MPG increase when they switched to a 2 barrel carb and manifold?
