My vans motor died and I have had nothing but bad luck with slant 6 motors so I was thinking of doing a V-8 Swap. I was looking for a mid 80's Diplomat or New Yorker with v-8 auto trans/OD and swap it all in my van.
I don't know alot about cars I know some but I am just not sure if the old slant 6's can take a highway speed of 75 + safely.....around were I live if you can't do at leaste that you get run over.
Right now I have a 1976 Dodge 225 Super 6 with spun bearing and the stock 727 trans. I bought a "replacement" engine but its blocked is cracked so I am back to square one on what to do. Go back to looking for a good 6 or find a 318 to put in? I have a guy that has a 318 with trans for $100 and ran good when pulled.
What to do???
