| Post subject: | 904 Auto to OD833 manual conversion Is SL6 crank the same? |
I bought a 77 Aspen donor car with sl6 and 833 OD trans to go into an 80 Volare with sl6 and automatic. In doing my research I discovered that when doing a auto to std conversion on a V8 the cranks that came with autos were not machined to accept the input shaft bushing/bearing. Is this an issue on the slant six cranks? Thanks, Scott |

It's more hit and miss for the late cast cranks... My '79 block was not and I had to use the NAPA problem solver bushing with some loctite for it... so far all the forged cranks I have (pre-76ish) have either been drilled or already had the bushing in it... -D.Idiot |

You can also use a roller pilot bushing from a V-6 or V-8 Dakota. It will drive into the crank register for the converter.

Balkamp 615-1033 is a stockish style oilite pilot bushing with and undersized outer diameter... for those cranks that have the hole but it's not finished/drilled to the correct diameter... you coat the bushing with HD loctite and insert into the crank, leave until the loctite settles (about 20 minutes+), then insert a small amount of grease per SOP and install your clutch...Option two is a bit better, as big D has said order mopar part number: 53009180AB for a Dakota V-6 or V-8 is takes up the pocket in the crank... good luck, -D.idiot |

Will I need this Dakota bushing to mate an auto /6 to my 3-on-the-tree tranny? It's a 1965 tranny and a 1972 /6. |

You might, check the back of the crank and see if it has a finished hole or a bushing in it already... -D.Idiot |

Turns out the '65 motor had a bushing which we were able to remove with a puller and put into the '72 motor. The end of the crank on the '72 motor was bigger, so I had to have the center hole of the flywheel machined larger....then all was well and the motor went in. thanks! |
