I would like to try and modify a small or big block scattershied to fit a slant six. I wondered if any else had tried this and had some sugestions or advice |

Contact member Dart 270 (Lou). He has an adapter plate specifically for putting a Lakewood small block scattershield on a Slant. I have a small block Lakewood if you're interested. Quick Time was going to make a shield for a Slant. Not sure if they ever did or not. |

I have a Quick Time safety bellhousing, but haven't installed it yet. There is no provision for a Z-bar so it's fab a bracket or go hydraulic. |

The one thing about using a Lakewood, you do have to use a 130 tooth flywheel. A V-8 one will work if you enlarge one bolt hole. |

I did this on my slant. When I do it again I will use a 440 bellhousing. The 340 pattern lays on the slant bolts so I had to go with some countersunk bolts which makes it a little harder. It can be done, and I have not seen Lou's adapter. I had Mcload make me a 340 flywheel with a slant 6 flange. That lets you use almost any clutch combo. I used the green cover mopar hemi pressure plate with a carbon fiber disk. I sold my set up to Ron in MA for his lancer. Not sure if he has installed it. You also need a starter that does not use a nose support. ? you can PM me. Stan |

Hi Stan! What headers were you using? The smallblock bell puts the starter in the low position. Pretty sure Ron is running yours in the car now. Rick Covalt |

It mounted right in the stock location above the pan. That is why you need the starter. I tried to build a pocket for the stock starter nose but I could not get it right in my backyard machine shop. If you use a no nose starter it just has to align with the flywheel and your set. Mine was a Tilton but they are commonly called import diesel starters. I was running the Hooker race headers, 2 part headers, front and rear. I had the most trouble with the z-bar not the starter or bellhousing.

Thanks Stan, I have one of the aluminum adapters that Mark Goodman made up also. It just removes the front scattershield plate and replaces it with the 1/4" aluminum plate with the slant pattern. He did a great job on it and sent me all the countersunk bolts...etc. When I install mine I am pretty sure that my long tube Clifford's are going to be a problem around that low starter. That is why I was wondering what you used. My car is a 65 Valiant also. Thanks for the info. Rick |

it would be easy to move a starter up. just mount a stock bellhousing and transfer the pattern to the adapter. good luck with your project |
