| Post subject: | Donor vehicle questions |
Hey Guys. First post from a Mopar newbie. Building a 1929 Tudor A. I want to go a different route than normal, so I got a '68 slant 6 for it. I want to put an auto in it and would like some advice from you guys on my options. I know nothing about the Mopar transmissions and am asking for a little guiding light. A 4 speed auto would be awesome but it needs to be hydraulic and not electric. I plan on eventually sticking a small turbo on the slant but power numbers will remain docile. Also, if its not too much trouble, an idea of a suitable donor vehicle and year model would be very helpful. Thanks in advance for the help. Chad |

Most all slant six 904's will work from 68 up, don't remember when they went to lock up converter. Richard |

Chad I hate to tell you this but there was never a 4 speed auto made to bolt up to a slant six. There are adaptors out there, it can be done, but it will be a challange. Send Dart270 (Lou) a pm, he has put a 4 speed auto behind a slant and can offer you guidance. |

What about vehicles without slants in them? Our p-n-p has a good stockpile of early 80s vans with smallblocks and autos. Maybe one of those??? Also, what is a good identifying marker to look for to know I'm pulling what I need? Sorry for the infantile questions but I really am this uneducated when it come to anything Mopar. Thanks again.

Chad, Slant six (904) bell housing bolt pattern is different from V8’s patern. You will need a transmission from a slant six. Some of the later year slant six transmissions were equipped with lock-up torque converters, and all are three speed, none were ever equipped with an over drive gear. |
