OMM......Do you have a picture of A V8 4bbl throttle bracket? I changed my car over from a 318 2bbl column shift to 360 4bbl slap stik (B body). I made the original multi down rod work but want to make it right. I have the 1 piece V8 down rod and multiple throttle brackets but don't know the...

Easier than slant to V8. Hunt down the early A slant 6 motor mounts/brackets. The early A transmission crossmember will work fine with the later 904 trans. The later oil pan *should* fit fine and have clearance, since you have a drop center V8 centerlink in the car already. The special pan was...

Wasn't '64 the last year for the push button shift?

Painlessly? Nope, but it depends on your tolerance for pain. Is the Charger transmission a 904 or a 727? 904 will fit, 727 may need some tunnel massaging at the pinchweld, as already stated. '65 trans is cable/pushbutton shift, '77 is mechanical linkage, either column or floor shift- you'll...

I ran into a few issues routing the cable for the kickdown away from the rear cooler line. To this end, I picked a couple cable support brackets out of the boneyard and believe that the dakota cable works best with the B350 ram van cable bracket, kickdown lever and springs at the trans end The...

heres an overview of pix from my google archives on this trans install. No floorpan in the way so I reinforced the crossmember with 1/8" steel after trimming it. I also have pix of the 3/8 trans line, and kickdown cable setup, as well as how I modified the shifter rod for Mike and myself. I'm...

Great information thanks so much for the reply. The transmission I have is a three speed on the tree the transmission and the 75 is I’m guessing at three on the floor with what he’s telling me is a 225 six cylinder. It doesn’t look like a bulge on the left side of the tunnel that you would...

Is it a bolt-in? No. Is it at least do-able? yes, depending on your abilities and ambition. There are many differences that will need to be addressed: Engine, transmission, rear end, suspension, and electrical. Let's start with the engine. The '75 engine will physically fit, but the following...

Here’s a link to my ad on Marketplace: 1970 Dodge Dart [ EDIT / copied & pasted from my ad on FB ] : I bought this car as a ‘one owner’ car in 2007. Factory v8 car, which I upgraded from the 318 to a 360 c.i.d.This is an A- body MOPAR She runs like a top and shifts perfectly. The engine is a...

The bracket I have as taken off of a 64 dart V8 2 bbl. I didnt take a picture and im not at the car right now. But I will take one tomorrow. The picture you posted of the braket you think I need works with FST Carbs ?

Hey sorry I should have been more clear. The car was running a couple years back and during our latest attempts my father in law and I have confirmed that the battery, starter, ignition components, and fuel pump are all in decent working order. The rubber is also in decent shape (no signs of...

x2 on rebuild the carb. few bucks and you *should* be good as new. here's good start for some info: replacements can be spendy and tracking down a good used carb for a rebuild can be a chore. starting with what you have and seeing if you can make that work is probably the most economical way...

Gotcha! Both my lock up and overdrive solenoid grounds were melted onto the exhaust pipe and grounding and activating the solenoids, they were always activated, the only problem I got now is the overdrive is solenoid is turning on and off, gonna inspect the connector. Hopefully it’s not a...

I had that trans. in my 95 V8 Dakota & had similar problems & wouldn't shift out of 2nd gear until about 3600 RPM when it was not warmed up. There were no major leaks but, I added a bottle (8oz.) ATP brand AT-205 Re-seal & within 20 miles it was working great. It even chirped 2nd gear when I got...

Save the motor mounts, V8 steering center link, exhaust manifolds, gas pedal and throttle cable assembly. The only body modification you might have to make is notching the torsion bar crossmember on the passenger side if you want true dual exhaust. You can do dual exhaust without doing that, but...

If you swap it, this particular combination is going to present more issues than just the heads. Assuming that they're both automatics, the '65 is going to be a cable-shift transmission, and your '66 is a mechanical linkage trans. Which means you'd have to switch to dash mounted push buttons or...

I agree 100% and having built a warmed up 273 myself very recently, I can't add anything to what @Syleng1 said except AMEN !!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

IMHO: swap it. Unless you like sewing machine noises and no balls under the hood. Now with that being said - 273 is a bit costly to build power and you can only go so far with out bags of cash…. I know, I’ve got a built 273. If I had to do it again… I’d go built 318 for the money in my 66...

I appreciate any info. I have access to a 360 truck engine with an automatic crank, so I know i'll need a bushing for the trans output shaft and probably a bell housing for a manual shifter. I'm pretty green when it comes to this.

Welcome to the site! To put the the V8 in there, you'll need adapting motor mounts/or a V8 K-frame. You'll need a form of V8 exhaust (be it manifolds or headers). The slant six electrical wiring will work (distributor, oil pressure gage, alt wires, etc) but the lengths may not be exact...

As mentioned above early A motor mounts, exhaust manifolds or headers, dropped V8 center link, cable throttle assembly, a notch put into the transmission crossmember and a V8 transmission or bellhousing. Several years ago there was a 62 Valiant in Salt Lake City that had a 416 under the hood...

63 dart was a /6. has the 3 mounting holes in the firewall roughly in a triangle. will a 64-66 A body V8 throttle bracket/cable bolt into the same holes? thank you for your time. RR

I have an OE throttle cable that is only 18" long. I thought it came out of a Duster that had a 318. However, looking up replacement cables shows a length of ~24". Is 24" correct and if so...what did an 18" cable fit? Thanks.

Well, a V8 cable would be shorter than a slant six cable I believe. I think I used a V8 cable on the four barrel slant six that used to be in my 67 Barracuda, but I was also using a V8 throttle bracket bolted to the carb base (or somewhere close to the carb base - we're talking 30+ years ago)...

A la v8 fits fine. I swapped two 87s. one with a 904 and one with a factory 5 speed the one with the 904 took a friday night and all day saturday and it ran and drove. That includes pulling the engines and trannys from both vehicles the dakota and the donor diplomat. I had a drive shaft in my...

Will do!!!

Hi Frank - I’ll see you tomorrow- put the early A V8 throttle cable aside - consider it sold

I am regretfully putting my '65 Valiant up for sale. I picked up a new project a couple months ago and could really use the shop space. It's a 65 Valiant V200 4 door. It was a basket case project when I picked it up, but I did start with a nice rust-free car. Body work and paint were...

Radiator, V8 steering centerlink, 360 passenger car oil pan/pickup/dipstick if the 360 came from a truck, Early A cable-type V8 throttle linkage (yours has a throttle rod), the aforementioned kickdown linkages for A body, Early A body v8 exhaust manifolds if you have power steering- headers or...

...make sure that they're A body manifolds. Mainly, you will need an appropriate A body V8 radiator and shroud, and POSSIBLY a shorter V8 throttle cable. An exhaust system. Possibly some other details I'm forgetting, but that's the gist of it. It would be handy to know the year/original...
