All I plan on doing with mine if I choose to use it is installing a factory Super-Six set-up, complete with the Carter BBD, dizzy, the stock (or aftermarket) electronic ignition, and the 2-1/2” exhaust (or Dutras if I want to shell out for them). I should be fine, and before I would use it, I’d...

Hi, just an FYI in that the Signet trim was not available on the wagon. It’s either going to be a V100 or a V200. This car apears to be a V100, and your VIN would confirm this. There are places online that you can decode the VIN with. Good luck!

Why do you specifically want a cast crank Slant?

Here’s my two cents on the build, your comment, and my opinions thereof: I myself would never do this to that car if it were mine. I’m a purist and a Slant fan. The thing is—and this is very important—IT’S NOT MY CAR! Just because I wouldn’t do that to my car (’66 Dart 170 2-door that I in...

Yes, the more I process all this, the more I’m thinking the exact same thing. Some day I’ll do something with that engine. I do have a little bit of a Slant fetish, and they’re still cheap to pick up.

The original ’66 engine is mated to a manual trans, whereas the ’81 van engine is mated to an automatic.

Thank you for clarifying that. I have the right bell, the trans, and all the right clutch stuff, so looks like I’ll just need a Z-bar (and the 300 other things I don’t know I need yet).

Different pilot size, I thought?

Hi folks, I plan on putting an A833OD into my ’66 Dart (225, A903, 3:23). The original engine is fine, but I also have a 1981 225 in a parts van I picked up. My research has told me the main differences (crank, head, lifters, etc), but I don’t actually have any experience with the later...

I’ll be following this thread, as I have a back-burner project ’66 Dart 170 I plan on doing this to. I suspect I’ll have an easier time with it since the ’66 cars lack the ball-and-trunnion.

Haters gonna hate, but as I see it, hot rod away on your own ride, my friend. It looks to be well-executed. Enjoy it, along with ruffling all the panties of the said haters! Please post pics of it along with some of the sad faces when you take it to a Mopar show.

I have a ’66 Dart 170 base 2-door sedan on the back burner. It’s a rust-free NM car, 225, A903 on the tree, and the only options it has are an AM radio and carpeting. It currently sits on a set of 15” Wheel Vintique steelies with fairly low-pro tires, and the original poverty caps. I...

Here’s my two cents: If you are planning on an A833OD—which I myself would recommend over any other trans for ease and for awesomeness, it’s straight-forward. The ‘64-‘66 (and later) A-bodies came with the old iron A833 which are the same size, so the only cutting necessary is for the shifter...
