Why change the slant with all the $ in the trans? Wont fit a 8
I broke the /6 believe it or not and I have to figure out what was done to that transmission still.
I have a pushbutton for the V8
Wonder if the guts can be swapped. How the hell you break a slant?
You put it in front of a messed up transmission and hit 5,000 rpm apparently.
Didn't @shittyslant6 break his?
Usually they are bullet proff. Hel I have change oil on them and got one quart out and it was just a engine full of baked on sludge.
Yours must have been a 225 ? 170 runs those numbers ok. What part gave up, you sure it was not just the flywheel, or valve springs?
If the clutches and bands seem OK I'll use those in the one I just bought. It needs rebuild but was operational.
I need to find an unmolested valve body for the /6 transmission... then figure out the motor. It wasn't a catastrophic failure, but it's broke
Yes.. 225 with a bunch of mods to it.
Morning!

sorry hope you turn it around and get it rolling soon.
Gonna peek inside the 273 this week...
Good morning everyone. Back to the grind. Cold, windy, ice and a little snow. High of 35 today. Yay spring
I know.. it sounds like a washing machine full of rebar (more than usual) and no power above idle (gets super noisy) had to drive a couple miles that way to get back to the house
Sounds like a rod let go, hope its all at the top end. So, are you putting a small block in now ? Getting confused because you are looking for a slant 6 valve body for your trans
Putting the V8 in.
I'm going to keep the /6 drive train so once I am up and running with the 273 I want to get the other items fixed and find a roller to put them in
Can you post me a Pic of your early A body, and year, I forgot, but I wake up in a new world every day
I went out and started my two oldies yesterday. The 55 has a Dakota electrical dash setup and the reads had been messed up for a while.
I suspected the fuel sender so bought a new one. I simply wired it up to see if that was the fix and it was dash reads returned to normal.
Plan on replacing it today.
Yesterday my buddy and I went through my 67-parts stash pricing and packing it for Carlisle.
Funny you can easily see my impulse buying over the years. deluxe chrome hubcaps, taillights, left side engine mounts, hood inserts, etc...
I have a truck load to sell should go quick.

Hate to say it you have to pull it and take it apart. Rods i have changed before.
Do you have exhaust manifolds and intake ? Witch ones ? Going to keep an eye out for parts i may not use myself that I have .
Wont last long. What day you getting there?
