If you have a super dooper quadooooooper tight torque converter and 5.13 gears, and a HP mini starter on 24V ...... then maybe. :D Kidding aside, No, it's not going to move it.

Slant Daily has done some really cool builds. What I like is he plays at all ends of the "build spectrum". He has a lot of experience.

yes, i saw this. It will be interesting to see what it does now.

1. check to make sure choke is opening all the way 2. check float level 3. check timing - both initial and total 4. Is the cat plugged ? 5. What brand and heat range of spark plug? 6. Coil output ok? 7. ECU working ok? Grounded? 8. Is the heat riser flap frozen shut in the exhaust manifold?

Plugs are crying out - help us ! According to the pictures.... Ground straps are black without timing mark Couple are oil logged Looks like were rich .... Or is it wrong timing ? .... Weak spark ? I would guess the plugs are too cold ... Of course, the carb doesn't get a free pass... Does...

Looks good !

Nice Build !

I had a 225/4-speed with 3.91 gears in a '74 D100. I got 24-26 mpg. Unbelievable, but we checked it several times.

Black smoke - too rich. White smoke in the morning - life is normal

The decal under the hood on slants can recommend anywhere between 2*BTDC - 12*BTDC. I personally would just put it where it ran the best.

Awesome work! So glad this was their future instead of becoming Frigidaire.

Look again at my post.... and the one you copied :D

.. not mine...

be patient, deals on motors/tranny's and even exhaust, radiators and mounts are out there..... If it's got to be done in a month, plan on paying the premium price. If you look and search with ambition over several months, you can do it for a dime on the dollar.

a good running 5.2 or 5.9 magnum can be bought between 150 - 350 bucks. A good running LA 318 (pre 1992) can be bought for 300 or less, sometimes for 100 bucks if a guy want's it out of his garage. Just to let you know the "going prices" with a little bit of patience.

Well, a 360 could need a rebuild as well as any other engine. Why should he go the 360 route?? He was going to install a 3.9 V6, so I assume racing isn't the purpose of the car.

Although the magnum motors are a great choice, cheap and easy to locate.

You'd need motor adapting motor mounts or a different K-frame. A 318 2bbl that's been sitting for 21 years is not worth a lot, so be careful what you spend.

Welcome!!!! Neat project!!! If you were a GM man, I highly recommend the 3.9 V6 till you get used to the power... :poke:

I'd cut the head .060 and use the over-the-counter fel pro head gasket

yep, slant six's can shear 'em

1200 miles is really not that big of a deal though, if you just do a little homework. In just the last 3 years, starting with 2018 we took my wife's '77 Ramcharger through 9 states and almost 4,000 miles. Illinois to the Grand Canyon on old Route 66, and returned up through Dodge City Ks...

Wonder??? We take vacation in our classics. However.... Keep in mind, 40 years ago: every auto parts store had everything on the shelf. every service station had a mechanic that understood points and carbs every part, wire and connection was only a few years old That is why I bring the...

I travel in classic cars. I recently made this quick video about preparing. Probably more than necessary but some good points

And when you pull your 170 you'll have 4 ~!!!! :)

That's unfortunate. If you don't know the people, then it's a "roll of the dice". Sometimes you win, sometimes you don't.

Nice!

it's been on my Dad's truck for about a year, and has worked good. Good luck with your search's. :)

makes sense now that you explained it. That info probably should be in the first post so folks know the details. In your first post all you mention is the price of 2bbls for a slant six, so I think you are looking for the cheapest 2bbl for a slant six. I bought one cheaper than what the link...

lol.... idk. You'll have to click on the link and ask all that to the person selling. Your opening post said slant six 2bbl. I dont' know about the aussispeed and cfm's.
