He needs a late '68 & up flywheel. It's a 74 motor I THINK this is correct because the 68 up flywheel would fit tight on the newer crank . The 67 flywheel would have a pilot hole too small to go on the larger crank pilot. Easier fix than on the automatic. Since he's using ALL 68 and newer...

Here's an old post when I was trying to do an automatic: Can I use a 67 904 on a 72 225 or is the crankshaft register hole size a problem?

There is a very confusing issue with the slant six crank between 67 and 68. The size of the hole at the end of the crank changed. The flywheel from one will not fit on the other engine. Its a huge problem on automatics but will also be a pain on standards. I am wanting to say the newer flywheel...

Assuming this is a 67-72 A body slant 6 this looks correct. Since the bolts that hold the mount to the block are so easy to get to, I usually remove the lower mount bolts under the K frame ear, then jack up the motor, remove the mount bracket from the block and change the rubber mount on the...

Again, this was all spelled out for me in the beginning of this post but to reiterate; The crank hole (register) is smaller on the 67 and down and larger on the 68 up slant 6 engines. The "nub" of the converter is small on the 67 and large on the 68 up. The smaller nub fits into the bigger hole...

They are pretty reasonable online

The carb is actually the same as the 318 units.

That's actually the easier one to get. I've probably got a used one of those too

if you need the 67 smaller hole one I probably have a good used one.

I have a correct tap for the spark plug threads but it won't come close to threading in the hole that's there now. As soon as it cools down below 100 (the outside temp not the motor), I'm going to pull the head and post some pics.

Ford Triton Engine Insert Kit No. 39300 | VehicleServicePros.com For Ford Triton engines. I think the plug threads are the same (size and pitch) Worth a try. Talk to a local shop or Ford dealer that has the tool or may be ask your local Mac Tool dealer as to who he sold the tool to locally. It...

Great idea! I think I saw that on a website somewhere. Much easier than the Helicoil.

I just bought a 75 Dart Sport 225-6 "parts car" that the seller said was a low mileage driver until they broke off a spark plug in the head. Apparently they tried drilling it with the head attached and what was left was a hole with no threads. I was amazed with how complete and unmolested the...

I have a high mileage 67 engine in my Valiant. It runs great but when warm, the oil light flickers at idle with the AC on. It had a manual gauge in the car I took if from and the idle pressure does drop below 9 psi when hot. I have another engine ready to go in if it ever dies, but for now I've...

http://www.slantsix.org/articles/manifold-install/types-mounting.htm This is it. I found it after I posted. Great info! Thanks!

Same bolt is used on all Mopar engines, /6, small block, or big block Big block uses a much shorter bolt than small block and slant 6 came without bolt.

Someone posted a link a while back to a site (slant6.com perhaps?) where it outlined the correct slant manifold installation procedure and where each washer goes. I can't find that site now that I'm ready to do it. What I really liked was the diagram that showed which bolts get triangular...

It may have been said already, but many of the two barrel carbs wear at the bushing where the lower throttle plate shaft goes through the casing. Fuel will leak out through the bushing when it sits for a period of time. I've had several slants where I had to turn the engine over and pump the...

Just mounts, same K-member - and a steering link, and... The steering link between a v8 and a six is the same part unless you have a 64-66 A body.

I have recently been educated about the 67 small snout trans thing when I was looking for a replacement for the Valiant so I checked it. The trans in this car was correct for a 72. Big snout. So that can't be what caused the problem. Anyway the Valiant also had a cracked exhaust manifold, so...

We drove the thing with it making noise for three months. Back then, I took out the dust shield because I thought it was hitting. It got gradually louder and LOUDER but still ran fine! I even drove it into the garage to take it out! When I took out the first TC bolt, I got an ear..Damn! The...

I finally found the problem! Actually I suspected all along that it would be a flexplate, I'm just amazed that the car still moved down the road!

Thanks for all the help, everybody! It's good to have this info BEFORE you pull your driver apart! By the way, here's a pic of the 67 flexplate stacked under the 74 flexplate. It clearly illustrates the difference in register hole size:

Thanks for all the help! I ended up lucking into a 74 Dart parts car, so I'll do the tranny swap from that (flexplate and all since mine is toast). I have a 67 trans that was rebuilt at some point if somebody needs that. Thanks again!

So. I spent the evening on Google and I may have found my own answer: Chrysler increased the diameter of the Slant Six (and small block V8) crankshaft flange register in 1968. You can put a later engine (1968-up) in front of an early 904 torque converter (1960-’67), but it is very important to...

I've opened this discussion up on a "wanted" thread (because I may need a new flexplate) but I thought I'd post it here also. I'd appreciate any advice from people who have done it! I have a rebuilt 904 from a 67 slant (I think it's a 170). I need to put it on my 72 225. I've been reading...

Using all the info you've gotten here, let's make a checklist of the things that need to come off. I usually forget the throttle cable or the rubber line to the fuel pump or the wiring to the distributor, or the ground strap to the firewall, (or the speedometer cable or the wiring to the neutral...

I saw this on CL and figured I should pass it along! http://gainesville.craigslist.org/cto/3427161428.html

The MOPAR NATIONALS Columbus Ohio. National Trails Raceway Aug 10-12 http://www.moparnats.org/ The car is my wife's 72 Valiant slant 6 grocery-getter. It will not be there.

By the way, if you are thinking about swapping to a 318, I'd advise against it based on your admitted low financial situation. The 318 is not a "bolt in" job. You will have to either change the K frame or buy/make conversion mounts. Also the exhaust, the pulleys, brackets, linkages, wiring...
