Hello, My son and I are in the process of adding a motor to our 68 Valiant(Slant6). We are having issues trying to get the motor back lined up on the tranny(which we didn't remove from the car. only the old tired motor). Since the vehicle is on an incline on the driveway, I am thinking that...

I've tried several local parts stores and online purchases, but every one of them I had, I had to take back for a refund. Does anyone know the right part number for the lower Radiator hose that fits the slant 6 in a 68 valiant? The ones they keep selling me are either not molded to fit it or...

This morning when I started the Valiant, it was sounding like the motor was struggling to stay running. once I got her to idle, I went to drive away and she sputters and feels like she has no power all the way to work!!! Could it be she needs some additive to her gas tank or do I have a more...

I'm about to swap out a Slant6 in my Valiant to another Slant6 I have replaced gaskets and cleaned up. This is the first time I am doing this. I have a 1ton hoist, floorjack, Jack stands, chain, leveler bar, and plenty of hand tools and Air tools to do the job. What is the process? I think I...

My 68 Valiant with a slant 6 3.7 stalled on me yesterday. It took me a minute to get her to fire back up. Once it did start, the motor was very shaky and was running really rough. I was only a mile or so from the house, so I started driving it, but it would only go about 10mph. No power. Pinging...

I know there are some first comers here who have experienced their first slant 6 motor pull. I am not looking for an exact time frame, but how long did it take before you were able to get the motor out of the car? We have a 68 Valiant we need to pull the cracked block motor out of and...

Does anyone have or know where I can get an assembly view of the oil pump that goes on a slant 6 225 motor? I can't find it in my manuals I have for the 68 Valiant. I need to take the one I have apart and clean it. But I want to make sure I put everything back together right.

I am looking to put a new oil pump on the Slant 6 225 I am building in my garage. I see the old oil pump is a 6 hole oil pump. All the new ones show only 5 holes, but the gaskets still come as a 6 hole pump. How do I make sure I apply this 5 hole pump correctly to eliminate the hassle of taking...

I looked at the front of the rebuild slant6 I have on my engine stand and noticed my son only used 2 small bolts to attach the front pulley to the crank. Do I need to find more bolts and put them in there or will the 2 bolts and the huge bolt that holds the pulley onto the crank be fine?

I hear a lot of people say that the Oil pans for the 225 Slant6 will interchange with each other. Is that true? The reason I'm asking is because the slant6 motor that is in my 68 valiant has an oil pan with the drain plug on the side of it and the hump is set back like 7 inches or so from the...

I have a auto tranny from a 70 Dart Slant 6 that has cables. Will this tranny work on a 65 Auto Dart?

Are there any folks out in the LA area that has an auto tranny for a slant 6 they aren't using? I know a person who needs one for their dad's 65 Dart.

I turned the Slant 6 over on the stand to start wokring from the top to put on the water pump, oil pump, etc, etc. When I attach rthe water pump to the block, do i have to worry about sealing any of the bolt holes? I notic a couple of them look like they go into a water channel.

I have a slant 6 225 that I am putting back together. I applied the gaskets for mounting the oil pan to the block. Looking at the rear rubber seal that covers over the rear seal housing, I can't tell if this is th eway it is supposed to look when completed or not. is this right or did I put...

I finally started putting the gasket set on this Slant 6 225 motor I have in my garage that I am redoing. The problem I am having is the rear rubber seal that attaches to the oil pan and goe between the pan and block is not fitting right. One side seems to want to sqeeze out of theback end. This...

i have a slant 6 motor I am reworking to go into a 68 valiant. The old motor in the car has a different valve cover than the one I am building. There is only 2 holes on the new valve cover which came out of a 70 dart. The old valve cover has 3 holes in the top. If I want to use the new valve...

I am near to putting some of the items back on this slant 6 i have on my stand. I bought a new water pump, but need to ask a question before I go mounting this thing on the block. When I opened the box, I noticed that there is the water pump body. I flip it over and see that there is a back...

I thought this was going to be real hard to get out. but I was able to take off the rear seal cap and remove the rear mian seal from this motor very easy. I found a nut driver that was the same diameter as the seal. So what I did was hit a few times real soft with my rubber mallet. The bearing...

i plan on removing the cracked blocked slant 6 in my 68 valiant and I want to leave the tranny in the car because the motors casting numbers checkout that they both match this tranny. I will leave the converter in the tranny as well. So when I dis-connect the motor from the tranny, should i...

hello all. When i get ready to pull my slant 6 out of my 68 valiant with the auto tranny, should i leave the torque converter in the tranny and just remove the bolts that attach it to the flex plate or just pull the motor with the converter attached to the flex plate? Which is easier and less messy?

I have a question about the oil pump on a slant 6. With it off the motor and I am turning the shaft by turning the gear, should the turn stop at any time or should i be able to turn it freely and keep turning it? The one I have goes around almost all the way but then binds and stops. So apply...

This is what the motor looked like when I picked it up from the guy who sold it to me for 250.

Does anyone know if a 64 timing chain cover from a 64 170 will fit on a 70 225 block? I need a timing chain cover with the timing marker on it if i want to be able to get my timing set right the easy way.

I have a slant 6 on a stand upside down in my garage that i am getting ready for paint to go in my 68 Valiant. Would it be wise to replace the rear seal? If I do replace it, how hard is it to do with the engine on a stand and upside down? I can see where the seal goes. but not sure if I should...

I have a slant 6 I am re-doing in my garage. I was wondering if the seal that goes into the timing chain cover has to be pressed in using a special tool or can it be put in place simply by installing the timing chain cover back on the block. Will it seat itself in place? My manual shows me that...

been thinking about adding a fan clutch to this slant 6 motor I am rebuilding before putting it back in my 68 valiant. Any pros and cons to adding a fan clutch instead of just the fixed fan it has now. Plus the standard 4 blade fan doesn't seem too efficient to me for cooling this motor.

Mopar Folks!!!!! I have choices for the engine block color for this 71 Dart Slant 6 motor that will be going in my 68 Valiant. Which color should i paint the block? Mopar red, Blue, or Orange? The block right now is Blue. But I can always change it. I plan on doing the Oil pan, timing chain...

I just want to make sure this is sitting correctly before I put this motor back together. I have a slant 6 that will be going in my 68 valiant after i make it shine like a dime and change the gaskets on it. I pulled the oil pan because it had a huge dent in it. But is the oil pickup suppose to...

I picked up on a slant 6 which had a tranny attached to it out of a 70 Dart. The motor has the numbers 2806830-8 BH. It has 5 freeze plugs and is in pretty good shape. This motor will be going in my 68 Valiant. The motor that is currently in the 68 valiant has a cracked block with 3 freeze...

Hello loyal Slant 6 folks!!!!!!! I need to know your opinion on something. We all know what cold starts are like with these Mopars!!! But I have a choice of putting the exhaust manifold back on the engine with a balancer in it. Or putting an exhaust manifold without the balancer in it...
