Aluminum Slant-6s didn't exist until midway thru the 1961 model year.

Is it the 170? If it is I could definately use it, and I am in Spencer, just down the road.

I could be wrong, but I'm guessing not, as I believe the 170 only went into A bodies (Valiant/Lancer). But one never knows, there's a 1st for everything!!
Can't rule out some transplant of one either,.......................

No it's the 225. It was the original engine

There you go, now you can give it away.

Pre-'67 Slants won't work with a 67 up auto tranny as far as I know (unless you change the crankshaft to a 67 up crank). You will want to get a 67 up Slant to work in your 72. There is one in So Cal from a 72 Dart in Craigslist right now for $300 (Slant 6 for sale). Maybe get it for much less if no one else is interested.

The cutoff year is not '67, it's '68. '68-up automatic transmissions cannot be used behind '67-down Slant-6 crankshafts unless you have a special torque converter custom-made.

19plymouth72,
If you can wait, you can get a slant six w/ tranny even for free since so many change to a V-8 and can't sell them. If in a rush, the $300 craigslist can likely be talked way down. I recall ~10 rebuilt slant engines in wooden boxes sold on ebay a few years ago for ~$500 ea. They were military surplus. If you have storage room, grab such deals when you see them, though few in SoCal have such space.
