Hate to ask but I have searched and not been able to find a clear answer. The slant in my 72 auto Dart died. I have a rebuilt 67. The 72 tranny won't mate flush, seem to be a torque converter issue. Can someone help?
There is a problem....I did not know the slants had an issue. The early V8s had a smaller crank bore for the converter snout.
How close is it?Hate to ask but I have searched and not been able to find a clear answer. The slant in my 72 auto Dart died. I have a rebuilt 67. The 72 tranny won't mate flush, seem to be a torque converter issue. Can someone help?
The hole in the crank is not big enough to accept the 72 torque. Keeps engine and tranny 1/4 to 1/2 inch apart....How close is it?
Interesting. I knew this to be an issue with some of the V8s but not with the slants. Learn something new, wondering out loud here but wonder about sourcing a 67 converterThe hole in the crank is not big enough to accept the 72 torque. Keeps engine and tranny 1/4 to 1/2 inch apart....

Will the 72 tranny accept the 67 torque converter?Yes, the slants changed from 67 to 68. To mate up a 68 motor with my 67 904, I had to use an adapter ring. Going the other way, you'd have to use a different torque convertor with a small snout.
No.........................Will the 72 tranny accept the 67 torque converter?
Boo.No.........................
LOL!!! Sorry,..........................Boo.
Guess I need to source one...BTW, don't feel too bad, I had to fab two flexplates together to put the built 2.2TurboI out of My '84 LaserXE into My '87 CaravelleSE because of a total flexplate/converter/
trans/crank bolt pattern change. It was the easiest way for Me on that project, a hybrid converter is the easiest for you.
No, there is not enough "meat", to turn it that small. Cure:Just a thought, wonder if a machine shop could turn the knob in the converter down to fit the 67 crank
it was worth a shot i guessNo, there is not enough "meat", to turn it that small. Cure:
1) Get a "hybrid" converter from Dacco Home | DACCO
2) Swap out the front section of the trans (pump, shaft, clutches/plantary) for the early trans parts.
3) Remove the crank and have a machine shop bore the hole larger, or replace crank with 68 up unit.
I ran into this putting a low mile 65 slant in a 80 pickup. Believe it or not, the cheapest fix was to buy a reman crank kit for a 68 up slant, and put it in the 65 motor. Comes with new bearings as well. Simple two hour job.No, there is not enough "meat", to turn it that small. Cure:
