Going from a 318 to slant in my truck. The engine is out of a boat. Has a 2bbl intake and carb and comes with a set of automotive headers...plus all the boat exhaust and accessories!

I see not much response here! From what I have read it seems to be a forged crank block. On the intake I do not remember seeing an EGR provision or anything....does this sound right? |

Well, the guy I got the engine from said it was a runner..HE LIED! It was froze up solid. I pulled the head only to fin on of the cylinders had rusted. Cleaned out the rust, the oil pan had mixed water/oil,drained that,disassembled the engine and it is now at the machine shop. Going to have it baked and magged,valve job on head,crank reground...which BTW also had a spun rod bearing. Kinda pisssed, but if it turns out to be cracked, I will sell all the extras and move on to another set-up. |

I just saw this. If you have the boat manifold and that exhaust your showing you are ahead of the game I'd say. A good running slant shouldn't be more than $400 somewhere, and you have a set of homemade dual headers it looks like and a 2bbl intake, you're well on your way to having a supersix. If it turns out to be cracked, I wouldn't worry about trying to deal with a slant with that many problems especially when they're widely available. But if you plan on doing a slant, keep the intake, exhaust and let the rest go if it's that poor off. Also from what I understand, boat intake manifolds do not have the EGR opening on the side. It still works and saves you the trouble of getting an EGR block off plate. |

Sorry to hear about the DOA engine. You do have the water heated intake manifold (use the water heat - don't ignore it) and headers which are a big plus. Looks like a really nice setup for a D100. I'm trying to get a older D100 with a slant six - and will be doing some slant six upgrades  With your headers and manifold - looks like you can boost the already good slant 6 torque up a bit . . . .

Hey thanks guys. Unfortunately I do not have the water box for the intake..maybe I can make one. But I also just picked up another 80's D150 shortbed fleetside with a 225/NP833a for $350. I will be using the engine and trans and all the required parts to put it into my '74...then sell/scrap the rest. |

Got a call from the machine shop, the block is good,head is good but needs 6 exhaust seats and exhaust guides and surfaced. The crank will definitely need to be ground .010/.010. So I will pick it up on Saturday since I just bought the '81 shortbed dodge with 225/np833a for $300. I will take my time with this build up. |

Some guys have all the luck, I've been keeping an eye out for a cheap slant truck without any luck and you just run out and buy one.

That's a good deal on the truck. I looked at a '74 long bed with non OD 833 replaced the original 3 speed. Seller claims the 225 has a burned valve. All tires are ruined and the dash pad is gone - removed. The asking price is $2,500. Its not a bad looking body, but its been parked for 17 years. |
