| Post subject: | 1970 Slant Six questions |
I just acquired a new (old) Slant Six and would like to start working on it over Thanksgiving. What size bolts do I need to mount it to the engine stand? Also, is there a way to tell if it's a 198 or 225 before I pull the head? It's out of a 1970 pickup. How much can the block be safely bored? If it's a 198, can I make it a 225 just by swapping crank rods and pistons? Thanks, Ken |

Ken Welcome to the forum. You can make a 198 a 225 just with crank and rods. The pistons are the same between ALL the slants. To id Look under number 1 plug on the smooth area of the block. On the home page of this forum is a series of articles on how to do all sorts of things to a slant. Read them and use the search function. Then if you get stuck ask questions in the correct section. Which stand do you have? lenghts will vary. Frank |

Hi Frank, Thanks for the reply. I just need to know thread size, then I'll buy bolts long enough for my stand with about 1/2 to 3/4 thread into the block. As for my Slant, I'm probably going to go the "long rod" route with KB268 pistons. My intake choices are a factory 2bbl or an Offy modified for dual webers. Can hardly wait to get started on it. Cheers, Ken |
