[WANTED] Wanted slant 6

-
There are three different sizes. Which one do you need?
 
I got a 225 thats partially taken apart and yeah it’s locked up but for $50 USD come and get it. 20 miles north of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
 
With no engine to start with, really need to know the year, model, and trans, of the vehicle it will be going into. It could make a difference.

Oil pan and pickup needs to be for 1960 -1966. Will need the correct flywheel depending on the year of the engine. The crank flange changed size between 1967 and 1968. A few other minor things that are no big deal, such as carb and choke linkage, etc.

Ok. Thanks for the info
 
Do you have the original flywheel? If so, it can be used on a later motor if you have the center hole machined for the diameter of the later crank flange.

Bellhousing? The early 4-speed bellhousings are rare. They are cast iron. If you have the original, that would be great. Later ones are aluminum and usually - if not always - are for an overdrive 4-speed and have a much larger opening for the larger OD trans front bearing. They would need a sleeve to fit an early non OD transmission. Also may need clutch linkage mods to use in a 65 Barracuda.

As for which size slant six, the 225 would have the most torque and, all other things being equal, more horsepower. I used to have a 65 Valiant sedan. After finding an early cast iron slant six 4-speed bellhousing, I swapped the original 170/3-on-the-tree for an early seventies 225 and a 65 4-speed with 3.09 low gear. Milled the head .100, hotter cam, four barrel carb and 2.25 inch single exhaust,. With Addco sway bars, 340 torsion bars and rear springs, and 14x6 slot mags and radial tires, it was one of the most fun driving cars I've ever had. Sold it to a good friend when I moved from Atlanta to Tallahassee.

I don’t have any of the clutch parts yet other than the z bar and pivots. Thanks
