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

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.....My 65 Valiant with the original 225 and 904 went low 19s before I did the 360 swap.
Seems reasonable. I'm curious to see what Vixen will run....but I caint afford to break her. LOLSeems 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.....
Thanks, great post! I'd guess my truck to weigh 3750 with no spare and a 1/4 tank of gas without driver. I weighed another 2wd short bed with a six and that's what it weighed. Also got to consider the wind resistance. Looks like if it will run under 21 seconds that would be good 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.Thanks, great post!
