    A Little Slant 6 Reliability Proof

    Makes me feel like I'm the only slant killer on this site. I've tossed a rod on every slant I have ever owned. Mopars flat head six's too. Always on the interstates. Just when I'm thinking shes really runnin good, this is the most speed I ever got out of it, is when they let go. I suppose you...

    Practically Clueless Newbie Needs Help Getting His Dart Up and Running

    I believe he just needs a running 225 slant, not an entire parts car. I have always had to give them away to prevent having to store them. It was never easy to find someone that would use it rather than sell as scrap weight. He probably could find a good running 225 engine thru this site...

    Practically Clueless Newbie Needs Help Getting His Dart Up and Running

    I would put a cheap used runner in it. I wouldn't really want to be the driver to have to wear out a fresh rebuilt slant. I would be tired of it long before and pull it for a V8. But that's just me. Some guys luv the slants.

    Damsel in distress

    When you install the battery cables twist and grind them onto the lead post. You have lost your connection where before when you heard the clunk you had connection but no voltage. Shake some terminals till you find your break in the connection. The main thing is to be patient as this...

    Damsel in distress

    Since you checked the oil already. Next I would try and turn the engine over by hand. (Socket on front of crankshaft) and see if it will turn over a full revolution. Check oil filter seal. Sometimes the old one can stick and get over looked. Hope the noise you heard wasn't metal to metal and...

    Suggestions on performance upgrades for 225

    That's a beautiful looking van you have there. If I was wanting to get that slant six on the interstate keeping up with traffic. I would replace the 3-speed with a A833 overdrive. It has an extra .73 or .78 overdriven gear. In my opinion it is a better choice than going after higher engine...
