    Aluminum Slant Six

    i am under the impression from some previous articles that 63 and later heads will work on the alum. block? the special was put on the head in 61&62, because they were a special head in those years. i have a alum. block 62 lancer, and love it. just planning for the future if a head is needed...

    62 lancer gt production numbers aluminum block.

    i would think there should be a few heads out there, as the failures were in the alum. blocks corroding away. apparently they scrapped the entire motor instead of just the blocks.

    62 lancer gt production numbers aluminum block.

    i didn't know about the freeze plugs either, as i just got this aluminum block car a short time ago. oh yes, aluminum will freeze and crack. maybe chrysler engineers consider the whole block a big freeze plug!!!!

    62 lancer gt production numbers aluminum block.

    wr, yes, the vermilion is a little orangy, but i am going with that as it is the factory color. as a matter of fact i just stopped on the way home to get it, and they ran out of one of the colors they need, so it won't be done till tomorrow. you are right though, the two tone in the elbow rest...

    WTB pushbutton shifter assy. 1962 lancer

    i picked up a 62 unit from hyper_pak from a b body. it is different than mine, but as you said, i am hoping that my parking brake assy, and reverse light switch will bolt to it, and i'm not sure about the levers, although they seem to be in the right place. i have put the old unit back in the...

    WTB pushbutton shifter assy. 1962 lancer

    looks like the 62 valiant is missing the neutral button too? seems to be a common problemwhen you "pull" on a "push" button, as in putting it in park

    WTB pushbutton shifter assy. 1962 lancer

    i found the missing (n) button laying in the bottom of the dash after i got the assy. out. the reason the button fell out is that the metal fork that holds it has the bottom fork broken off. thus i am looking for a replacement shifter assy. if worse comes to worse, i could probably take it...

    62 lancer instrument panel removal?

    i wish i had your manual, but the one i have is a original 62 manual that says on the cover " lancer dart, and polara", and it shows nothing on the cluster removal on the lancer. it just says take out four screws, and lay the cluster forward? it looks like getting at the bolts that hold the dash...

    i hate it when people don't get things done that they should. if you have the basic structure there, it shouldn't be too bad of a job to repair it. i am relatively new to the early a bodies, and not too sure of the interchangability, with other years and models. i am pretty sure that the 62...

    yes, i don't know what they were thinking when they designed that heater box location. you have to remove it to get the valve cover off!!. anyways, if you have all the pieces, you can fix it. it is just fiberglass, and can be repaired.
