It's a pessimal setup for sure. It's a downdraft 2 barrel manifold with two worthless sidedrafts on a homemade looking adapter. The Stromberg CD carburetor is, to put it bluntly, a piece of ****. And the installation is going to be a poor flowing nightmare that will condense all the gas out...

I don't believe for a minute a 904 would hold up behind a 340 or 360 in a heavy vehicle like all those vans and trucks or the heavier cars. Not for sustained abusive use. I said the SLANT 6 727 was made for a reason and that reason was that it would not be the weak link in a heavier vehicle...

I have a slant six Dodge truck as well, and a 904 is NOT going to hold up as well in a truck if you work it as the 727 will. I agree that in an A body it is extra weight, but there are people besides A body owners too. If you are going to pull a trailer that is true as well. People do not...

No. I just wanted people to know that there was a good use for them and they should not needlessly be scrapped. All the internals are the same and you could also saw off the bellhousing and put an UltraBell on if so inclined (i.e., you needed SFI housing and were going to cut a 727 anyway.)

The built them for a good reason, the trucks and heavier cars need them. Light cars do okay with the 904. I want a 518 myself but there are none with a /6 bell. The Ultra Bell guy has no interest in making a Slant 6 one either.

If you are not running insane cam profiles and spring pressures, it's a nonissue so long as you use a good cam lube at assembly and use a zinc containing supplement on initial start. GM EOS or the Lycoming version are good. Just about any good oil that is clean and fresh is good for this...
