1,000 lbs less of electrical/electronic ****

I can't see the sense of doing it the hard way. The bushing reduces the size of the crank pilot hole, and allows the use of a stock converter. There is no down side. Why spend a bunch of money on a special converter, when a low dollar bushing will accomplish the same thing. Granted if you want a...

When talking to any converter builder, if you are keeping your old transmission make sure they are aware of that.

Problem with getting a converter with the large pilot, is they may not be able to give you a High stall speed with the small splines to fit your transmission (those parts are getting hard to find). So then you will need to get a later transmission, or change the front section of your trans to...

What is wrong with using the bushing?

1958 Montomery NY. Air force auxiliary air field. Friends from the "Draggin Dragons" hot rod club from Bellville, NJ. took me. Volunteer track worker that year. Did some racing the next year. Since then I have raced at over 50 different dragstrips, over the eastern US. Plus some circle track...

Without doing mods to the converter and/or the trans, this is the situation. `1960-1967 trans and converters go together. 1968 up non lockup trans/converter go together. Not sure of the 1st year of lockup, but lock up converter must be used with lock up trans. All three versions of converter and...

Then you would need to find a flywheel with the small center hole, or again, use an adapter ring on the crank to allow use of the late model flywheel.

My memory is not what it used to be, but I think the 1.55 is the small pilot. You will need the adapter bushing. Contact member @slant six

Big problem with oil "leaks" or burning is the PCV system. Might not be the valve itself. The carb has a passage for the PCV that gets plugged up. Remove the carb, and use a drill bit (I think 1/4 inch) by hand to clean out the passage. You need to go from the fitting on the outside, and also up...

Check the size of the converter pocket in the crank. The 340 engine will have the "large" pocket. The converter "MAY" have the small pilot. You might need to get the adapter bushing.

Quick time actually "goofed" when they made the slant six bellhousing. They should have made it to allow use of the small block size flywheel and multiple transmission bolt patterns. That would have allowed use of better clutches, and transmissions. Which would equate to a larger market. I had...

That valve body is NOT for a 64-65 cable shifted trans.

Yeah. I don't know where you would find bearings for it. I have an assortment of slant six bearings. .001, .002, .010, .012, .020, .030, .040, have never seen .050 but that doesn't mean they are not available on special order.

I find it hard to believe that you can increase the cubes of a slant six by almost 100 cubes. That is 1/3 bigger. 3.6 bore (.200 oversize) x 5.0 stroke (.875 oversize) will only give you 305 cubes.

It has nothing to do with whether it passes smog test or not. It has everything to do with fresh air ventilation of the crankcase. Even before the days of the PCV systems, they used a "road draft" tube to create a partial vacuum, to have fresh air circulation in the crank case.

I understand about the blowby under boost. That is why you also have a "breather" (going to a oil separator is good) then to the air cleaner. Another way of venting the crankcase is using the one way check valves, connected to the exhaust with hoses. Free Shipping on Orders Over $109 at Summit...

I don't totally agree. On a race car that would be OK, but not really on a street car. I don't have experience with a "supercharger", but I do have with turbos on the street. With any street car you need some way of ventilating the crankcase. Is the engine under boost any time it is running? If...

Make sure there is a baffle inside the valve cover, below the PCV valve, to keep direct oil splash off that valve/gromet.

Hey guys, this ain't rocket science.

I'll check on Monday (to see if I have a 1965 V-8 904) it would be a "core" trans, and require rebuilding, if I have one.

They don't grow on trees. The 1965 V-8 904 is not a push button trans. It is cable shifted but has a different valve body (some other differences that don't matter) than the 64 down trans. The 65 is a one year only trans. I might have a 65 V-8 904 core trans on hand, but I am in Florida.

Depending on what you desire for an end result. You could use any 63-66 steering column, and a floor shifter. 63-64 column would not have a shifter mechanism. 65 would have a shifter mechanism (unless floor shift equipped), but the shifter could be removed. Not many of these cars were PS equipped.

I think the OP was referring to the "toad" Valiant. Don't remember the year (60-62). I think Dutra had a hand in building the all aluminum slant six. The car was white and had period correct lettering and decals.

64 Valiant has the round lever under the front lip of the hood. 64 and 65 Barracuda have a paddle type lever that goes through a hole in the front edge of the hood, as does the 65 Valiant.

1964, 1965 barracuda, and 1965 Valiant same hood. 1964 Valiant only difference is the hood latch mechanism. 1964 Valiant does not have the hole in the front edge of the hood for the latch, but that can be "cut" in. 1965 Valiant, and 64-65 Barracuda have the hole which can be covered with the...
