Slant 6 motor and 904 Trans London ON

Well-known member
anybody want a slant six and 904, The car that has them in has driven under it's own power in the last year trans worked fine I have not had the motor started since last fall. I tried briefly to get it going and it'll run on gas down the carb but won't stay lit. my guess is the carb needs some love or replaced. 225 ci ibbl carter.

yours for $50? what have you got?

in London On Canada.
 
Good luck on this one... I tried to sell the 225/998 combo from the LeBaron for $100 for over a year. It ran like a Swiss watch and the trans worked perfectly. After that, I tried to give it away for nearly a year. Both efforts were advertised in the local paper as well as being tacked up at grocery stores, laundromats, etc.

It finally went to the scrapyard in mid-'05 because not only could I not sell it or give it away, I'd never even gotten a single phone call about it. :doh:
 
True enough... that's why I spent so much time and money trying to save the LeBaron's original engine/trans from the scrapper. At 217,112 miles it burned no oil, drove like a dream, and shifted perfectly. I just wanted to let it live on elsewhere, but could find no takers and I needed the room.
 
Somebody should build a slanty rat rod. That would be gnarly, d'ya think? :hmmm:
 
I think it would be cool... split header & 3 side-draft Webers with chrome velocity stacks? Oh yeah!
 
We're thinkin' somewhere along the same lines Doc. I was having visions of home fabbed headers with 6 pipes all the way back with 6 old school shorty motorcycle mufflers and a homebuilt intake resembling a tunnel-ram with 3 - 2's setup with progressive linkage. If you go manual trans you would hafta have a 3 spd with the shifter on the tree. If you go auto, you just gotta have the push button pod mounted into a mini-console.

Miles per gulp and balls when you need it. :dance:


*starts checking Craigslist for old car bodies* :toot:

That's too beautiful of a body style to butcher into a rat. :dgt:

A rat should look more like this;

Good Idea I'll PM Moparlady. Thanks.

PS There used to be a guy on slantsix.org that had a slant in his rod, used an old outboard motor cover for an air cleaner hat, looked neat.
 
the center 2 share a port or are stupid close together arnt they?

a slantrat would be sweet...but my rat parts are allready gathered......
 
meh:

I'm not much of a fan of the whole "rat" thing, 'specially how cobbled together and dangerous most of 'em seem to be.

Now, here's a cool slanty car:

there suposed to look unsafe LOL..thats half the point..cobbled together is the other half of the point

that is one sexy slanty there..and the fish its in aint bad either
 
That slant 'Cuda is one sweet ride, but I'll bet he doesn't have as much fun as my buddy does with this one. If it gets dirty, he hoses it off. If it gets a scratch in the paint job, get out the rattle-can. :bwuhaha:

I didn't say look unsafe. I said are dangerous. Big difference - I'm not talking about it being an old car either. I'm talking about using worn out suspension/brake/steering parts to acheive a look rather than building a streetworthy ride that isn't going to kill the family in the sedan coming up the other lane.

Mr. 68 - that roadster looks looks awesome - but even just a glance at the picture tells me that other than the flat paint, that's no "rat" rod.

From what understand, the owner of the slanty cuda drives it a lot - I never got a chance to vist the owner to find out. Just left a Moparnuts card and toddled off to the next car.

Au contraire my good Nodder, the only new parts on that tub was the front disk conversion and the headers. (The wheels & tires were a b'day gift from his kids)
This thing was built with parts either from a boneyard, swap meet or a scrap pile. (The windshield frame was made from steel fence posts and plexiglass) [smilie=2:
