Quick time actually "goofed" when they made the slant six bellhousing. They should have made it to allow use of the small block size flywheel and multiple transmission bolt patterns. That would have allowed use of better clutches, and transmissions. Which would equate to a larger market. I had...

Yeah. I don't know where you would find bearings for it. I have an assortment of slant six bearings. .001, .002, .010, .012, .020, .030, .040, have never seen .050 but that doesn't mean they are not available on special order.

I find it hard to believe that you can increase the cubes of a slant six by almost 100 cubes. That is 1/3 bigger. 3.6 bore (.200 oversize) x 5.0 stroke (.875 oversize) will only give you 305 cubes.

It has nothing to do with whether it passes smog test or not. It has everything to do with fresh air ventilation of the crankcase. Even before the days of the PCV systems, they used a "road draft" tube to create a partial vacuum, to have fresh air circulation in the crank case.

I understand about the blowby under boost. That is why you also have a "breather" (going to a oil separator is good) then to the air cleaner. Another way of venting the crankcase is using the one way check valves, connected to the exhaust with hoses. Free Shipping on Orders Over $109 at Summit...

I don't totally agree. On a race car that would be OK, but not really on a street car. I don't have experience with a "supercharger", but I do have with turbos on the street. With any street car you need some way of ventilating the crankcase. Is the engine under boost any time it is running? If...

Make sure there is a baffle inside the valve cover, below the PCV valve, to keep direct oil splash off that valve/gromet.

Hey guys, this ain't rocket science.

To pick up a chicken, follow these steps: Approach Calmly: Chickens can be skittish, so approach them slowly and calmly. Avoid sudden movements or loud noises. Secure the Wings: Gently place one hand over the chicken’s back, securing its wings against its body. This prevents flapping and helps...

Check fuel pressure. The sock in the tank might be clogged, or some other restriction in the fuel supply.

Cast crank slant six uses a different block, rods and crank than the forged crank slants. The rod and main journal are narrower. If using the 2.2 pistons make sure they are compatible with whatever rod you use. Not only on the pin location/rod length, but on whether the pistons are for floating...

All factory slant six pistons will be the same CR. There are some different aftermarket piston configurations within the "stock" description. Some have a slightly lower compression distance. There are also aftermarket "export" low compression pistons. Be careful you don't get these. For what you...

Not sure of the year of the change, but the early ones the seal is R&R from the back. Cover must be removed to change the seal. The later covers don't have to be removed to R&R the seal, it is done from the front.

If I recall correctly, the 66 Has a timing tab bolted to the lower driver side cover bolt. I don't remember if the 70 is bolted or welded. he timing marks on the damper correspond to the tab. The 66 bolt on tab can be put on the later cover and just disregard any other tabs on the cover...

The 65 trans is a cable shift trans, but not for push button (for column or floor shift). However the 65 trans can be used with the PB shifter, by either installing a 60-64 Valve body, or Swapping the 1964 manual shift valve and rooster comb into the 65 Valve body. Also need to use the PB...

Looks like your memory is better then mine. I forgot about that "369" pan.

Not knocking you. In the hobby there are a lot of things to remember. Some you don't use for years. I am more familiar with the slant six, then with V-8's, and there are things I still pick up on, that I didn't realize. PS: at my age my memory gets fuzzy, also.

The issue with the pan is not the center link. It is the front part of the sump. The later pan hits the K member. @briansb71 If you want to keep the PB shifter, send me a message and I'll give you my phone number

Many filter makers started making their filters smaller to save money. Some only hold about 3/4 of a qt. Just like you used to get a pack of hotdogs that were 16 oz. Now they are 14 oz.

That is a 1 qt filter.

Something is wrong. Should read full on the stick, with 4 qts in the oil pan and 1 qt in the filter = 5 qts total. You might have the wrong dipstick. By running 2 qts over full you could have excessive oil consumption, and aerated oil. Then you wind up showing low on the stick (but not really)...

Don't assume. It is a common problem for the PCV on a slant to be plugged up. Don't check just the valve, check the complete system. A lot of times the passage in the carb is plugged up. I should have asked a long time ago. Have you hooked up an oil pressure gauge to see what the pressure really is?

Why did you over fill the engine? Should only take 5 qts with filter (unless truck). You are two qts over full.

Did you replace the "O" ring for the oil pump cover? Also make sure the PCV is hooked up and working properly.

Hey, removing unneeded weight is always good.

I have made a couple of my own, using some metal from the scrap bin or hardware store for brackets, and the cable from a bicycle shop or motorcycle shop (Used for brakes, clutch, or shift).

It is possible I am wrong. Don't have a lot of experience with trucks. My 64 D-100 has a bell housing that would only fit the slant six. Trans is a A-833OD. I have a flywheel and clutch on hand, that is used with the NP435, and it requires a larger bell housing then the one on my 64 D-100. The...

That would work for the heater hoses if the thread is 3/8 NPT. For the nipple that goes on the underneath to the water pump I use a plumbing pipe nipple and cut the threads off one end.

That bell housing was used with the NP435 (I think that is the number) trans. That is the 4 speed that has the shifter go right into the top of the trans, with a "granny" 1st gear. But I don't believe it has a dual engine bolt pattern. I have that flywheel and clutch on hand, but no bell...
