It's been some years since I owned a slant. Took it for a drive today. Part throttle and just going it does fine. But... you floor it and you don't get anything more .... LOL I forgot how stock slants go in a truck 
Looking for stock slant performance #'s D150

My 65 Valiant with the original 225 and 904 went low 19s before I did the 360 swap.
Seems on par with what most are saying. I suppose the truck with the extra weight and wind resistance is looking at a 21 second pass?? LOL We'll find out down the road.....
Seems reasonable. I'm curious to see what Vixen will run....but I caint afford to break her. LOL

My stock 225 /6 single barrel auto 73 Dart's weight is somewhere in the ballpark of 3200 lbs, it ran a 19.9 in the 1/4 mile. I should also ad that the TV linkage was a bit out of adjustment. Your D150 2WD short box I assume probably weighs 400-800 lbs more depending on what stuff you have in it. So if you can get the weight of the truck, you might be able to extrapolate the data from that and get a ballpark. Then see if you get close to that in testing.

Did You see the posts in General Discussion on the 'Stay Tuned'/Tony Angelo YT channel? They ran an '81(?) D100 2WD Slanty 4spd bone stock before & after throwing a turbo on it.
I did!
Some things are better off not said.....
Those trucks are around 4K with driver, easy.

Member " my68 barracuda" has an 83 d150 that he did a frame off resto on, it is a /6, although no longer stock. I know somewhere he posted details on the build, I don't know if it was here or over at the /6 site or both.
Over there he's "Dad truck" as his dad had originally bought this 83 new and now he has it. It's a short bed 2wd.
I know I've seen extensive details on this truck--- besides the ones I've gotten from him directly face to face--- weights, engine build details, Dyno results and more. And I've seen his record keeping for myself when I've been over at his garage. I definitely need to do better in that department. It's a short bed , /6 with 833 od, I believe it was originally a 1bbl with 3.21 out back
Now among other improvements it's a super 6 and (I forgot which) either 3.73 or 3.91 out back.
He don't chime in on the forums near as much as he used to (have no idea if he's lurking) but if anyone I know would have the stock numbers on an 80s truck with a/6 "before", it would be him.
