Put some feelers out on the interwebs. Somebody out there has a running slant that they pulled for a V8. You may be able to get it dirt cheap to near free. Then its drop it in and go. Then if you want to do a V8 later on, you got a running driving car as you save up parts for a swap. Rusty is...

Your right. Different strokes for different folks, but nothing is more satisfying to me than the dull thud a slant sux makes when I kick it off the back of my scrap trailer. I had a nice 225 out of my 67 barracuda. Nobody wanted it. Even for free. I removed the alternator, carb, distributor, and...

Muggy weld a plate on there, fix that Frankenstein and run it lol

Hone it, clean it, and send it

And why bother, when tor a little more, you coulda had a V8

Nope

Yes I got the memo on that, but I'm a bit of a maverick in that regard.

Damn dude an RB !! Why are you scrapping it?

Scrap it, install a V8

I sold all my date coded big dawg mopar gravel grinders. They were good for their time, and still are on full restorations. I plan to drive my junk a lot if I can ever get it done. I want parts I can easily get replacements for. Sure theres plenty of gravel grinders still out there, but theres...

Use a slant 6 K frame and some square tubing.

Non A/C here ya go

What size carb hole do you need diameterwise ?

Wow!!! Serious collection!!!

Nice find!! I really like that Chrysler 300 Hurst model in the garage. Can we see some pix of that one?

I think slants use the same chain and sprockets as a big block, but I could be wrong

A week!!! A week!!! Thats fast!!! I wish my machinest could hop on my stuff that quick.

I use this with my supervisors at work. I draw a triangle with one of those words on each tip. I tell em "you can only pick two". They usually want a special project done fast and good, so I tell em, its gonna cost you. I need overtime out of the deal. So it ain't gonna be cheap.

I did that once. They had my 360 block and rotating assembly 6 months. It's like paint jail for engines lol. Besides lack of money, time, or not enough of it to get things done also causes them to become garage ornaments.

I wouldent waste a whole lot of money rebuilding it. You stated a V8 isnt in the cards right now. I am assuming it's a low funds issue. If you spend the cash getting machine work done and rebuilding it, that puts the V8 further away. A known good running slanty should not cost you anymore than a...

The best advice right here. Buy a known good used engine. Better yet if you can hear it run. Rebuilding and machining isnt cheap. A reputable shop isnt going to cut corners for you to do a "quickee rebuild". It's their reputation on the line. This means quality machine work costs you the...

Making my 2 speed manual foot pump into electric

Do an A833 4 speed O/D out of a Volare/Aspen with slant 6. Then you can use an A body slant 6 zee bar, 67-72 A body clutch pedals, down rod, and 67-74 A body floor shift plate. Stock A /F body shifter should clear a bench seat. This way you can use this transmission for a V8 later on if you...

You save $$$s if you can get it all shipped from the same location. I save lots o cash with them.

Slant six is cool nowadays for the interesting wow factor at car shows. They can be made quick with hop up parts and gearing. Once upon a time they were everywhere. If your intent is to make it quick, you would be farther ahead dollar for dollar installing a V8. I owned 4 different slant 6...

You need to find a 67-69 A body with all the parts. Pedals, linkages, etc. the A903 3 speed was a manual shift on the column. I dont believe the A903 ever came as a floor shift. My 67 notchback came with a slant 6, A903 column shift combo. I kept the pedals, down rod, Z bar, column, and pitched...

Easy enough to solder it using a propane torch, solder and flux. I have fixed em before.

It appears to me that the outer metal ring of the old factory oil seal is still pressed in the cover. I bet that's the problem. Tin timing covers didnt normally have a circular reinforcement around the hole like that. I may be incorrect on that too, but thats what it appears like to me.

Mating a manual trans 225 to your A727 shouldn't be a problem.

Hollow out them 5 mph impact bumpers and ditch about 100 lbs dead weight.
