i got a 2.45 in my lebaron. what all do i need to switch out the rear end? will my current driveshaft just plug into it?

[bbd388]

I just bought a 70 duster slant six. It's my first project car. I'm looking for any/all info, websites, etc regarding parts and advice on repairs. Do you have any suggestions

thanks

I have a 1970 Duster with a slant six...hoping to get this 58 Buick special and put it in that. Then put a big block in the duster or sell it.

[bencar1976]

Rather an interesting switch, but I'd leave the Buick alone, and likewise for the Duster.

[Tupou66]

why is that?

[bencar1976]

A. Why mess up the Buick, it's an interesting vehicle in it's own right.

B. Why molest the Duster, unless it's arust bucket.

[Tupou66]

Well first off the Buick has no running engine and I don't have any money to fix it up right now. Secondly, the I'm either selling the rolling chassis of the Duster or putting this big block Mopar I have sitting on my engine stand.

What if its a thrust bucket?

[JonFinnerud]

It is.. We ran our out of oil twice, and still managed to get it running again without any repairs. Thoug it had a nasty sound from the crankshaft after the second time.

[bencar1976]

If you try hard enough, you can damage even a Slant-Six

[littledingy]

the slant six is supposed to be incredibly reliable.

[benzman69]

They are.However I did manage to blow one up once.

[bencar1976]

Sorry about the blurriness, compressing the Video does that to it. Oh well.
