Can someone here confirm with certainty that my mid eighties slant six 11 inch flywheel will bolt onto my 69 340 small block with no issues. Id like to run what parts I have instead of purchasing more unnecessarily. Thanks

Im looking for someone to rebuild a BBD for me, at least one but if the price were right Id send a couple/few to be done, can anyone recommend someone that is a slant enthusiast and will do a standup job for my application. Ive asked a couple of head honchos over on the slant forum for...

I ran across a 64 Dodge van with a slant this A.M Is it safe to assume that it would be a 170 cubic inch. I dont think the 198 were offered until 70 is that correct? It is complete from oil bath air cleaner down. I pulled the head cause I didnt know any other way to identify what the...

73 Dodge, there is a 4 blade cooling fan on their now, feels hot under the hood. Stock temp gauge so no way of telling really where it is at. Would it be worth the time to install a later model 5 blade fan? Also there is no fan shroud there. I am sure that would help but how much. Would...

I spent a good hour unsticking this riser this A.M but the weight came off easily/accidentally when I first embarked on the mission of freeing it. Is there a special way it would go on? At this point I have knurled the shaft pretty good with the vice grips so Im thinking once I get it on it...

After looking at a few of these heads I have noticed on both ends the casting for the water flow were never cleaned out very well. I dont know if this applies only to hydraulic heads but I have 4 of them and they are all the same ( 81 up ) Is this something typically cleaned/punched...

I have the two degree wheels, both are 7 inch. I am wondering if these small of wheels is going to give me the accuracy of readings that I am hoping to see. I know that the larger the better. I see them 2 hundred plus wheels and I dont have an issue with buying a quality tool but I also am...

Has anyone here ever figured out how Chrysler originally measured their cams for the slant engines, what was their standard? I have what little specs they give me in the FSM but they are still useless to me ( as far as I know ) unless I have a baseline. At this point the standard @ .020...

I see 4 pin and 5 pin. I see an orange box that clearly is a Mopar part ( and is supposedly meant for high performance/high RPMS ) and then I see alot of other modules listed on E-bay that are various colors that have no Mopar stamp on them yet the seller says NOS. I see ALOT of different part...

Can someone tell me if installing the engine builder valves is going to require having all new valve seats installed or is it just a matter of cutting what is there. Also how will installing these valves affect my CC measurements. The head is 60 cc now but will installing these valves make...

Can someone tell me what is the deal with this new head gasket I purchased. The one I removed ( laying on the top of the new one ) has metal reinforcing rings around the head studs and in between the cylinders, this new one only has the fire ring. The one I removed was only purchased a few...

I may be soon going thru a Holley 1920 carb, Not sure where I am going to get the carb kit from, alot of choices and I have asked on-line about a Ethanol friendly kit without much response. Before I go thru it Id like to read something that gives me a better idea of things I should be...

In measuring my timing tab/dampener relation ( with my degree wheel ) I found them to be off a bit. I plan to have the dampener reconditioned. Someone on another forum made the comment below though and I would like to know what you guys have noticed with your own dampeners. Have any of you...

I have been trying to collect info on degreeing a cam with no cam card. So far I have read that it prob. will not happen accurately/consistently even if I were to map out the cam. I have read that I can remove the cam and send it out to be professionally measured but Id rather not do...

Anyone here done it to a slant, Id like to find one of the quick disconnect deals that I see are offered for popular other makes, it allows the wheel to spin if need be with only a quick spin of a coupler. Also ..... The biggest issue will be getting the degree wheel tight. Since the end of...

Lot of good videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2UfycLWJQRo0DnRrnW3KxQ/videos

Left the shop a bit early today so I had a few minutes to play before the monsoon set it. This is my 86 rebuilt engine, been dying to see if the notches were off on the dampner ( slipped ) Sure enough they have slipped this much. Not sure how many degrees this is, dosent look like much. Not...

My parts engine/truck is sitting outside, I opened the hood to find a coating of surface rust on the deck and in the cylinders. Its been raining here hard last few days off and on. Getting in there somehow. I am concerned with the humidity that the engine in the truck I care about may also...

I dont think I have found a solid answer yet for this question so Ill ask again. My 86 Dampener has three hash marks around its circumfrence. Pict 539 ( first pict ) shows their location. Pict 540 ( second picture ) is the mark I was using to set timing too cause it was the mark that went...

I am confused on where to start. Just recently I was told that I needed to start with choosing a cam.......the first step. I am now back to working on trying to get one of the cam manuf. reps to work with me but so far I have been told by various companies that I needed to know all sorts of...

I know that the stock valve sizes are 1.62 and 1.36. I have the 1.70 1,44 engnbuilder valves and now that I have them to compare with my original valves I can see that there really is not much of a difference in size. Does this mean that I can use the existing valve seats and just have them...

Where can I get quality ignition products for my slant. I ordered and received an OEM dist. I thought the cap would also be OEM but inside the cap is a part # of 2642986 From what I can find doing a google search Manufacturer's Part Number: CH410 would be the OEM part and Im...

Florida heat isnt getting any better or I am getting older. I have a small air conditioned workshop, I was thinking I may want to yank the engine from my parts truck this weekend and work indoors. Is it possible to run a slant on a standard engine stand? Better yet Id like to build a...

I am going to be working toward getting a true compression ratio on my parts truck by taking the necessary measurements. I have read that.........the stock piston compression height is 1.765 If I am reading that correctly that comes out to 1 3/4 (approx) down in the bore measuring from the...

Does anyone have any hands on experience with these manifolds. Id like to know if they are a quality part comparable to O.E or aftermarket junk Exhaust Manifold Gasket Kit Set for Chrysler Dodge Pickup Truck Plymouth | eBay

I purchased some engine builder valves from E-bay item no 380919173128 I am also considering these 340 valve springs E-bay item no 390854240085 but I am thinking for a non high revving engine I may be wasting my money, that the stock valve springs will do just fine. From what I have...

I have read an awful lot of data either conflicting or confusing ( for me ) concerning the later slant exhaust manifolds. I have seen first hand Super six engines in the salvage yard pilfered for parts only to leave the exhaust manifold behind cause the guy removing the parts said that all...

I plan to learn how to make all the measurements that I should of done on the slant that is in my truck ( my good truck ) before I sent it in for re-build. When I pull the head back off that good engine/truck at least I will be familiar with what I am doing cause I have already done it...

I have another engine that has this type of dampner and it was also removed from a truck. My 86 truck engine has a big bolt on its end that makes turning it easy. I cannot see how this dampner/flywheel is held onto crank. How can I turn it easily? ( with a wrench ) I am imagining there is...

I thought it best to start a new thread, less confusion. Id like to hear everyones technique for lapping in the slant valves. It was suggested to get some permatex lapping compound from Napa, I called Napa and evidently the oil based lapping compound is no longer avail, only a water base...
