I ordered up that roller bearing today from Napa, should hopefully have it by the end of the day or tomorrow. I'll see how it works; worst case if it still seems messed up I'll snap some more (clearer) pictures. Hopefully won't even be necessary- it would certainly be huge weight off my chest...

It's supposed to be a 1968 block (the block number is #2806830-2), so my understanding is from '68 and up that all the cranks were bored for the pilot bushing anyway? Not sure if that photo shows it super clearly, but the hole is almost off-center/ovalized or something. I suppose it could be a...

Hello, About 12 months back I picked up a 225 slant longblock from a 1968 Dart a few hours away from my house. I had it sitting in my garage, waiting for an opportunity to drop it into my truck. It was supposed to have been rebuilt recently and was basically ready for me to transfer...

Thanks for all the info guys. I'll keep an eye out for a post 1968 motor, otherwise it sounds like everything will bolt up. I have my fair share of projects, so I'm mostly just looking to keep this truck as reliable as possible. I'll probably transfer my 1920 Holley over for the time being...

Hi there, I've been a browser/occasional poster for a while now. I actually have an '84 D100 with a /6 and was directed here a few years back when I had a lot of questions about the slant 6 that's in my truck; so far this has been an incredible resource for me. It's a 4 speed A833 truck, and...

I didn't really want to send a money order, not to mention I wouldn't be able to get to the post office (due to working hours) until Friday to do so making the wait for the part even longer.

Well, I went ahead and bought a Holley 1920 from a fellow member. My truck is a 4 speed, so I wont have to worry about a kickdown cable or anything. Any other compatibility issues I might have or parts I should order while I wait for this to come in the mail? The throttle cable and everything...

I have an '84 D150 and I am in the process of swapping out the 1945 computer carb for something slightly better. If you have a good 1920 or other bolt-on carburetor that'll work for my setup please let me know what price you'd like shipped priority mail to 02135 in Brighton, MA. I only use...

I've got a 1984 Dodge D150. Not an a-body, but I figured this would be the best place to ask for some slant 6 help. I've already gone ahead and spoken with and am ordering an entire HEI kit from Trailbeast. I've gone ahead and removed all the broken/nonfunctioning emissions stuff and capped...

I'll snap some pics once I roll it out to the street. It's nothing pretty to look at, but it was the exact combo I wanted. I've wanted an older a-body for years but mostly given up on finding a good cheap one in the northeast. I actually wasn't even looking for a truck when I bought this...

Hello! I work at a small vintage 2 stroke motorcycle/moped/scooter shop in Boston and I just picked up a long bed 1984 Dodge D150 with a slant 6 and an a833. It was the exact combo I'd been looking for in a work truck and it was relatively rust free to boot. I know it's not an A-body, but I...
