Hi all
I just started working on a project, converting my 72 manual 3spd Valiant slant 6 to a manual 3spd v8 318. I've read a lot of forums and web pages, but i would like your suggestions, this is what i got so far:
318 v8 engine from a 1977 Le Baron
/6 to 318 v8 conversion mounting mounts
4 Row Champion Radiator w/ electric fan
my doubts are around the clutch/transmission mounting. i read a thread from Str8up
"A833 4 speed transmission slant six swap into 318 340 360 small block" but he was using a 4 speed manual, i want to keep my 3spd "3 on the tree"
comments or thoughts?
