@318willrun I'll be happy to wave the slant flag for you if you can't. I have a twin truck to yours, an 82 D150, slant with an 833OD. I did some moderate cleanup and upgrade work on it, and it has a surprising amount of get-up-and-go especially in a 4000 lb truck. It's a hoot to drive. Seeing how well this slant does, I'm itchy to see how the new engine will do in the Valiant.

New slant was going in, just needed to finish the hookup work. Oh, maybe I should put a carb on there too?
