Slant 6 a 54 Savoy

[SuperDave87]

I'm sure there's a thread about doing it here, but I can't find it. I have a line on a slant 6 and 4 speed in an 82 d150 for cheap. Anyone know how much firewall massaging will have to happen?

...get out your tape measure....

I would expect you could make it work. Stranger swops have happened. Depends on how much work you want to do.  Have you done a Google  search to see if any information is out there

V8 swap would be easier with no firewall cutting.... Trade or sell the slant 6 package...

Did you swap out the tranny and rear end too?

[milo9rat]

Yes, but it's a sbc,350 turbo trans and Ranger rear end.. Not trying to fool anybody just thought it looked better as a poly head.....

[Andydodge]

Milo, Milo, Milo..........lol............and LrudyD.........don't be too hard on Milo...he fooled me too...........lol..........and to be honest, its a neat job.........but heres a genuine 318 poly in a 1940 Dodge, well, my 1940 Dodge.........its been livin' in there since 1973........lol........regards, andyd
