Sweet nice ride, you should put up a video of it if housing have one, I also have a 1966 Chrysler 300, it's the definition of boat, or yacht I guess haha I'll see if I can put up a pic/video of the 300, I'll
haha, yeah man, it had some decent tires in the back luckily. And when you really go all out beating the shit out of a vehicle, it can make it through alot of stuff. Bald tires can do you i though, for sure :)
@tommartyn yea was get surprised sometimes when my truck makes it up to the dunes in 2wd with no air down but then i gotta use 4 high to keep goin once i get off the beach my cousin has a pretty old jeep with 33" tires and in 4 low he still got stuck even runnin low psi
I'm looking to buy a 1966 d-100 pickup with the 225 slant six, how are they for power ad reliability? Looks pretty bulletproof haha sweet vid, we have a 91 half ton with a 318 and that ol truck keeps going.. And going.. And going haha
As far as reliability goes, the engines will go forever. They are seriously un killable.
As far as power goes, Brand new the 66 d100 should have about 145hp with the 225 slant. the 170 slant had i think 110hp. They might not have put them in trucks much though :) As long as the truck is a manual trans, there should be plenty of power for what ever you're gonna do. But the automatics like this one suck alot of power out. Nice man! I drive an 87 D250 318 4spd manual
@tommartyn Yea man, Hey did you guys romp the monte carlo yesterday? I just wanted to see if it held up or not, I'm having issues with my phone you can try to text it if you want. I sent like 3 messages to my Mom last night and she just got them today Hahaa
Hey man, For sure man :) for sure. Yep, thats the 225ci slant 6, I've had a 170ci slant 6 too in my 64 dart and 3 other 225's. One of these days though, i hope to find a 198ci slant 6, its bassically a smaller 225. the 170 was actually a different block, and head. The stroke was shorter on the 170, so it didn't mind the high reving as much, the piston didn't have to go up as far.
@tommartyn cool story bro, thought they were all 225's, ive owned two with that motor, never shoulda sold em...i actually came to this vid looking for the twin of my '78 half ton, its got the 318 instead, but still reliable as hell...anyways, fun to see an old dodge get beaten on, cuz they will definitely take it heh
Yeah, i have a 65 dart GT that came with a 225, and someone put an 80's style 225 in it at some point. Pretty much just hydraulic valve lifters. The 65's had 145 HP stock, The later ones dropped alot because of emissions stuff. 318's are pretty un killable too, but yeah, the 225's are really bullet proof. Really great engines man :)
No cooling system on the one in the video either :)
@tommartyn haha no cooling, thats a slant 6 for you, fuck cooling if you got plenty of oil:), but yeah 65 dart eh thats exactly the kinda wheels im looking for, all i ever buy is old dodges, all the new shit with computer chips and fuel inject can go fuck itself...all designed to break and be hard to work on
Hey every group question here lol, I have a 225 slanty and wanted way better fuel economy. I have a few slants and can buy motors for under $100.
Can I buff up the compression 10:1 and run half diesel half petrol? I know diesels don't need spark plugs lol but I've heard of people converting petrol /6 into desiel.
Worth you guys helping me out because other wise the cars going to end up junked.
id like to find one of these to make into a daily driver...i had a 79 plymouth volare with the super six....the motor still lives after the car rotted away at 600k. its been in a 81 truck for the last 10 years.
Look, I've got to be honest with you man, If you don't see the point of doing this already, then there is most likely, no point in you watching it. And definitely no point in asking what the point is. Its not the kind of thing that needs to be explained, and its the kind of thing you would understand if it was explained to you. Its just not for you man, Simple enough.
hey man, this thing had been retired from the road a long time ago.
The ticking from the engine, is Pre-Ignition, The distributor was too far advanced. You cannot adjust cam's. On older slant 6's you could adjust the valve clearance, but this is a newer one, that had Hydraulic valve lifters, and they cannot be adjusted. The most common ticking sounds from Slant 6's though, is exhaust manifold leaks, right where it meets the head. The gaskets blow out and it ticks.
@tommartyn hey sorry i thought it had a 318 like mine and my dad had adjusted the cam or suttin to do with the cam and the ticking stopped im only 15 by thaa way
my daily driver is now a 92 d150 longbed with 318/automatic..got it for 1000 and it is great.21 mpg it seems and a beast on the highway.it needs a few things,new gas tank strap,a plate on the drivers floor...typical dodge stuff but well worth it as my new daily driver..thanks for posting your fun truck!
Hey nice, awesome buy man. How do you get 21MPG out of the 318? :)
My daily driver is a 1983 red shortbed dodge, with a 225, manual 4 speed, 4th is OD. But its geared so tall, that you really can't use 4th unless you're at about 60 and over, or you just waste gas. If it had a 318 i think it would work out nicely, but the 225 just doesn't have the umph to easily use that 3.21 rear end ratio.
@tommartyn well it gets 20-21 mpg with normal gas.I bought it this way and have only had electronic work done to it.I am sure that the fuel injection is one reason why its so good on gas..i am just happy,and love the roar of the 318 for sure.
Its bassically like having kinda shitty gas. My cousin filled up the half empty diesel work truck with gas, then had to pump about 15 gallons or so out before the thing would run again. Diesel's don't appreciate the gas. So i got 15 gallons of free fuel :) i used it in everything. The 46 willys ran the best on it. Didn't even seem to notice it, except all the smoke. This thing ran ok on it though, just a little less power.
r u gonna restore it........You Kidding, that thing was mint when he started, but he gave it some redneck custiomizing before giving it to his cousin and his sister for thare weddin present!!
Nah, this things automatic, the older bodystyle, and scraped :(
my daily driver is the 83 D150, 4speed od manual trans. The pre 81 bodystyle is my favorite man, they are just so cool looking. I got this truck for 475, and drove it on the road for a good while. then it was a field beater for even longer. Couldn't kill it :) though eventually something went wrong with the electronic ignition, and i replaced it with a Points style distributor from my one dart :) one neg' wire to the coil :)
Thanks man, glad you like them! This beast was a 225 slant 6, gas. this bodystyle did have a mitsubishi 6cyl diesel in them in 78, and maybe 79. I don't know how good they were. They probably had even less power then the 225 though :) But man, i'd pay a decent amount to have one of them
hey tom its been a while. just wanted to share with ya that my dodge d100 is in the shop having a 318 dropped init. no more pedal to the floor just to go 0 to 60 in 23 seconds. no more slant six!
:( awww.. man. Hope the 225 is going somewhere good to help out some one who needs one. They really are amazing incredible engines. So you have to get another trans too. 318's like 2bbls, and 4bbls don't give you really any more power, by they use ALOT more gas, and are more fineky.
@tommartyn dont worry im keeping the old engine or selling it to someone who needs it. and the auto shop i brought it to says the 318 will bolt up to the trany. and the 318s are pretty good, high rpm engines with descent torque and horse power. plus im getting a class 1 performance 318 dropped init. should range around 325 horse power. and what do you mean exactly when you say the engines are finiky?
haha, after you wrote that, i was trying to figure out what i meant. I got it though, i meant that 4bbls are more fineky then 2bbls. But i'm sure you'll have a 4bbl if your going to have a 325HP 318. Believe me man, i love 318's for sure :) had alot of them. Very good engines.
Hope the trans does bolt up, i've heard that slant 6 bellhousings don't line up with LA v8's, but i've never tried personally. Gonna be alot of hp for that A904 :) Thats good to know that 318's bolt
@tommartyn i am geting four barel carb with this engine, plus the the three speed trany with the origional farm gears should take off like a bullet. 1st through 2nd should do a burnout, and 3rd gear should be constant exceleration that will put you back in the seat. its gonna be sick, drag cars use farm gears for the exceleration. i might actualy be able to take it to a drag strip some day, the origional exceleration was 0 to 60 in 23 seconds which is bad. now it should do 0 to 60 in like 6 sec!
Whats the ratio for farm gearing? I don't know if i told you, but my 225 powered D150 is 3.21 gearing, which is really un fortunate with that engine output and all... i don't even know if i'd get 23 seconds :) Yeah, your beast is gonna be pretty fast :) cool that you'll still have the kickdown lever connected to that choke cable in the dash :)
@tommartyn i dont realy know i just know that its gearing is higher on 1st and 2nd gear so its acceleration should be realy fast, and 3rd gear is realy low so its like the perfect acceleration trany
@hheywire hey good news i talked to the place my truck is being worked on at, and they say the 318 will match up to the transmission, but they are having to change the mounting brackets, but thats not too much. im so excited to drive my truck in the spring!
@tommartyn yea definetly gonna make some videos of it, but its gonna have to be in the spring cause of my school, im a millitary school in virginia so im not home to see my truck being fixed. kind pissed about that, but deffinetly cant wait to feel the power of the beast!
haha :) lots of people do my man :) We have as well. We had an 89 Accord for about 2 years, no cooling system, compltely bashed beyond repair, and it ran until we took the trans out for a guy who needed one. (auto) We would run it till it would shut off, and then start it again when it would. Amazing durability. The trunk was bashed in even with the back tire by the time we retired it. Never let us down :)
:) Yeah, you can tell a slant when you hear one. For about a year now, my daily driver is a 1983 D150, 225 slant 6, 4 speed manual (4th is OD) Weak trans though... and the rear is 3.21 gearing... which is really high. So it has pretty much NO power. I can't even ever use 4th, unless i'm doing over 55 and going downhill, otherwise it just wastes fuel. I want to put some different gears in the rear to better match the engine power to the road. I still love it though :)
haha, yeah, it was a fun day. That thing wouldn't die. Yep, i got alot of free fuel, because my cousin filled the diesel work truck, with half gas. The diesel didn't want to run on it, but the gas Slant 6 didn't mind. neither did my 1946 Willys Jeep. Though the fumes burnt my eyes when i drove it on it.
Damn right man! I've had 2 225 CI slants with the mechanical valve lifters, and 2 with the hydraulic valve lifters, 1 170 CI slant 6, and i've never had a 198 slant, but hope to some day. They are all awesome engines!
Right now my road vehicle is a 1983 Dodge D150, shortbed, red, 225, 4 speed manual (4th is OD) and i love it. The rear is geared way too high, hardly ever can use 4th without wasting gas, but other then that, I love the thing. Awesome truck.
yeah man! its the 225 slant 6 too. vicious beast! if they modernized this sucker, overhead cam, multiport fuel injection, this would be a serious engine now a days.
hey tom do you know where the kick down on this is? its the leaver that ataches to your transmissionv from the throttle on your carb. it also acts like a throttle for your torque converter if you have the leaver pushed all the way back towards the fire wall it will stay in the rpms alot longer and be easier to drift.
haha, yeah... This thing was a dog. for sure! :) It had a 2bbl though. It was scary pulling out in traffic sometimes. I think it has alot to do with being an automatic. the 225 would rather be stick for sure.
My new 83 225 powered short bed is stick, but its geared so high (in the rear) that it really is just as slow as this beast. I'm possibly going to get some gears for the rear, to lower the ratio, so i can haul stuff easier. its a 4speed, 4th is OD.
I was using that fuel because my cousin had borrowed his boss's work truck, a diesel, and when he went to return it, it had a half tank, and he filled it up with gas accidentally. then he had to drain most of it out, so the truck would run again. They gave me all the mixed fuel because they had no use for it. And i used it in everything :) The 1946 Willys Jeep we have minded the least.
Not like this :) this thing was so messed up in so many ways. When i got it, it had a wooden bumper with carpet on it! and it was only bolted on on the one side, the otherside was held up with a bungie cord.
this is awesome!! I used to do this with my truck when i first got it and it had the six, well not quite that mean but still ran it through the mud n shit! now it runs low 11's with a big block!!!
haha, oh yeah, that thing loved it. i was flying up a hill floored in second gear one time, doing about 30, going around a corner, and i went to move the shifter up to 3'rd, but i went right into reveres. still floored! BAM! locked up the wheels for a second, i let off almost instantly and it stalled, i put it in neutral, and restarted it, popped it back in drive all while still moving. And this is way after that. it took it! :) Chrysler used to make seriously awesome tranmissions.
3 on the tree! nice! i have a 74 w100, 318, 3 on the tree, but its not connected to the trans. its missing linkage. but my 65 dart's on the column shifting works great! :)
i had about 10 gallons of the D-gas. :) and i used it in everything, because it was free fuel. the really old tractors, and the 49/54 willys CJ-2A ran best on the fuel. smokey, but ran fine. Do you use the bio-D-gas just to save some money on fuel?
Yeah, I figure the primary thing it does is lower the octane, which is not gonna hurt something with super low compression. I let it warm up longer before working it, though. Lots of old tractors ran on kerosene or distillate after warming up on gasoline from a small secondary tank, so sometimes I start my lawn tractor on pure gasoline and then add biodiesel after it warms. Only about 20% biodiesel, though.
Makes sense. i should probably get a biodiesel setup going on on my 86 diesel jetta.
i had this one book on old tractors, and it showed alot of ads for them, and alot of them said that they came with kerosene generators, which made them able to burn kerosene better somehow. i've asked a few people what the device might be but no one knows... i'm thinking it might be a heater?
Yep! Lo-Boy. here for a few years, i got it running. not much footage of the thing, but i'll upload a clip :)
Actually, the only difference in a kerosene tractor is lower compression (because kerosene is very low octane) and a pre-heated intake manifold, to better atomize the heavier fuel. Also, they used thermo-siphon cooling (as did the gasoline only version) with no thermostat, but with manually-controlled air shutters in the grille, and you were supposed to close the shutters further to make it run hotter than a gasoline-only version. They were actually quite efficient when operated properly.
i wonder if the were calling the preheated intake manifold a Kerosene Generator.
there were 2 or 3 completely different tractor companys that had ads that mentioned the Kerosene generator. the one saying that they used their OWN kerosene generator. and it might have said to run efficiently on either gasoline or kerosene. i don't know the make of the engines they were using. i'll go and try to find the book out in the one dart. "More Orphan Tractors"
Probably. I mean, look at Coleman lanterns and stoves: they have a tube that the fuel flows through, and it goes through the flame to vaporize the fuel, and they call that part a "generator". Same principle, I guess.
The old 2 cylinder John Deeres were the most well suited for kerosene or distillate use, according to what I have read.
Interestingly though, the same small engines that are available here, including some 2 strokes, are available in kerosene versions in some overseas markets.
i think they had different grill options for some of the years, because i think i've seen 79 dodges (ramchargers, and trucks) with 4 little square headlights, instead of the 2 round like this, and i think 78 is sopposed to have a bigger looking grill, with the turnsignals right next to the headlights in it. but then i see pics where they don't match up, so i think there might have been some options. higher models get the grill they think is cooler or something. is this your brothers grill?
haha! yeah, i know! don't know what i was thinking there. At the time i thought it was beat up, but it certainly is mint now that i think about it... man, could have gotton a couple grand for that thing... haha
haha, well, it didn't run very well at all. and i had to adjust the distributor, to change the timing, to make it run better. but yeah, it ran poorly on the half diesel. But it worked! the old tractors, and the 49 willys seem to be the only things that ran completly normal on that fuel. but it reeks of diesel fumes, and the bluish smoke just pours out of what ever its in. haha, free fuel though!
Nahh, sorry man. But if you can, try to find a late 70's early 80's chrysler car of some sort, with a 225 Slant 6 in it :) Those things are awesome! Seriously, you can loose the radiator, and it won't matter. this truck is powered by one, with NO coolant in it. They will take a crazy crazy beating. damn near un killable. The car would be pretty tough too! :)
Sweet nice ride, you should put up a video of it if housing have one, I also have a 1966 Chrysler 300, it's the definition of boat, or yacht I guess haha I'll see if I can put up a pic/video of the 300, I'll

Nah, this things automatic, the older bodystyle, and scraped :(
my daily driver is the 83 D150, 4speed od manual trans. The pre 81 bodystyle is my favorite man, they are just so cool looking. I got this truck for 475, and drove it on the road for a good while. then it was a field beater for even longer. Couldn't kill it :) though eventually something went wrong with the electronic ignition, and i replaced it with a Points style distributor from my one dart :) one neg' wire to the coil :)

Thanks man, glad you like them! This beast was a 225 slant 6, gas. this bodystyle did have a mitsubishi 6cyl diesel in them in 78, and maybe 79. I don't know how good they were. They probably had even less power then the 225 though :) But man, i'd pay a decent amount to have one of them

hey tom its been a while. just wanted to share with ya that my dodge d100 is in the shop having a 318 dropped init. no more pedal to the floor just to go 0 to 60 in 23 seconds. no more slant six!
hheywire 1 year ago
@hheywire
:( awww.. man. Hope the 225 is going somewhere good to help out some one who needs one. They really are amazing incredible engines. So you have to get another trans too. 318's like 2bbls, and 4bbls don't give you really any more power, by they use ALOT more gas, and are more fineky.
tommartyn 1 year ago
@tommartyn dont worry im keeping the old engine or selling it to someone who needs it. and the auto shop i brought it to says the 318 will bolt up to the trany. and the 318s are pretty good, high rpm engines with descent torque and horse power. plus im getting a class 1 performance 318 dropped init. should range around 325 horse power. and what do you mean exactly when you say the engines are finiky?
hheywire 1 year ago
@hheywire
haha, after you wrote that, i was trying to figure out what i meant. I got it though, i meant that 4bbls are more fineky then 2bbls. But i'm sure you'll have a 4bbl if your going to have a 325HP 318. Believe me man, i love 318's for sure :) had alot of them. Very good engines.
Hope the trans does bolt up, i've heard that slant 6 bellhousings don't line up with LA v8's, but i've never tried personally. Gonna be alot of hp for that A904 :) Thats good to know that 318's bolt
tommartyn 1 year ago
@tommartyn i am geting four barel carb with this engine, plus the the three speed trany with the origional farm gears should take off like a bullet. 1st through 2nd should do a burnout, and 3rd gear should be constant exceleration that will put you back in the seat. its gonna be sick, drag cars use farm gears for the exceleration. i might actualy be able to take it to a drag strip some day, the origional exceleration was 0 to 60 in 23 seconds which is bad. now it should do 0 to 60 in like 6 sec!
hheywire 1 year ago
@hheywire
Whats the ratio for farm gearing? I don't know if i told you, but my 225 powered D150 is 3.21 gearing, which is really un fortunate with that engine output and all... i don't even know if i'd get 23 seconds :) Yeah, your beast is gonna be pretty fast :) cool that you'll still have the kickdown lever connected to that choke cable in the dash :)
tommartyn 1 year ago
@tommartyn i dont realy know i just know that its gearing is higher on 1st and 2nd gear so its acceleration should be realy fast, and 3rd gear is realy low so its like the perfect acceleration trany

Ah, so its like a tractor? :) 1st and second are the work gears, and 3rd is the road gear :)

We had an 89 Accord for about 2 years, no cooling system, compltely bashed beyond repair, and it ran until we took the trans out for a guy who needed one. (auto) We would run it till it would shut off, and then start it again when it would. Amazing durability. The trunk was bashed in even with the back tire by the time we retired it. Never let us down :)

@FelixTheHouseFreak
:) Yeah, you can tell a slant when you hear one. For about a year now, my daily driver is a 1983 D150, 225 slant 6, 4 speed manual (4th is OD) Weak trans though... and the rear is 3.21 gearing... which is really high. So it has pretty much NO power. I can't even ever use 4th, unless i'm doing over 55 and going downhill, otherwise it just wastes fuel. I want to put some different gears in the rear to better match the engine power to the road. I still love it though :)

Damn right man! I've had 2 225 CI slants with the mechanical valve lifters, and 2 with the hydraulic valve lifters, 1 170 CI slant 6, and i've never had a 198 slant, but hope to some day. They are all awesome engines!
Right now my road vehicle is a 1983 Dodge D150, shortbed, red, 225, 4 speed manual (4th is OD) and i love it. The rear is geared way too high, hardly ever can use 4th without wasting gas, but other then that, I love the thing. Awesome truck.

hey tom do you know where the kick down on this is? its the leaver that ataches to your transmissionv from the throttle on your carb. it also acts like a throttle for your torque converter if you have the leaver pushed all the way back towards the fire wall it will stay in the rpms alot longer and be easier to drift.

@hheywire
haha, yeah... This thing was a dog. for sure! :) It had a 2bbl though. It was scary pulling out in traffic sometimes. I think it has alot to do with being an automatic. the 225 would rather be stick for sure.
My new 83 225 powered short bed is stick, but its geared so high (in the rear) that it really is just as slow as this beast. I'm possibly going to get some gears for the rear, to lower the ratio, so i can haul stuff easier. its a 4speed, 4th is OD.

MrDodgeman1985 1 year ago 2
@MrDodgeman1985
haha, yeah, those are fair questions. :)
I was using that fuel because my cousin had borrowed his boss's work truck, a diesel, and when he went to return it, it had a half tank, and he filled it up with gas accidentally. then he had to drain most of it out, so the truck would run again. They gave me all the mixed fuel because they had no use for it. And i used it in everything :) The 1946 Willys Jeep we have minded the least.
Still uns because its a Slant 6! :)

I have a '72 with a 318 and 3 on the tree. What a beast.

Possumlivingdotcom 2 years ago
3 on the tree! nice! i have a 74 w100, 318, 3 on the tree, but its not connected to the trans. its missing linkage. but my 65 dart's on the column shifting works great! :)
i had about 10 gallons of the D-gas. :) and i used it in everything, because it was free fuel. the really old tractors, and the 49/54 willys CJ-2A ran best on the fuel. smokey, but ran fine. Do you use the bio-D-gas just to save some money on fuel?
tommartyn 2 years ago
Yeah, I figure the primary thing it does is lower the octane, which is not gonna hurt something with super low compression. I let it warm up longer before working it, though. Lots of old tractors ran on kerosene or distillate after warming up on gasoline from a small secondary tank, so sometimes I start my lawn tractor on pure gasoline and then add biodiesel after it warms. Only about 20% biodiesel, though.
Possumlivingdotcom 2 years ago
Makes sense. i should probably get a biodiesel setup going on on my 86 diesel jetta.
i had this one book on old tractors, and it showed alot of ads for them, and alot of them said that they came with kerosene generators, which made them able to burn kerosene better somehow. i've asked a few people what the device might be but no one knows... i'm thinking it might be a heater?
Yep! Lo-Boy. here for a few years, i got it running. not much footage of the thing, but i'll upload a clip :)
tommartyn 2 years ago
Actually, the only difference in a kerosene tractor is lower compression (because kerosene is very low octane) and a pre-heated intake manifold, to better atomize the heavier fuel. Also, they used thermo-siphon cooling (as did the gasoline only version) with no thermostat, but with manually-controlled air shutters in the grille, and you were supposed to close the shutters further to make it run hotter than a gasoline-only version. They were actually quite efficient when operated properly.
Possumlivingdotcom 2 years ago
I bet they were pretty efficent.
i wonder if the were calling the preheated intake manifold a Kerosene Generator.
there were 2 or 3 completely different tractor companys that had ads that mentioned the Kerosene generator. the one saying that they used their OWN kerosene generator. and it might have said to run efficiently on either gasoline or kerosene. i don't know the make of the engines they were using. i'll go and try to find the book out in the one dart. "More Orphan Tractors"
tommartyn 2 years ago
Probably. I mean, look at Coleman lanterns and stoves: they have a tube that the fuel flows through, and it goes through the flame to vaporize the fuel, and they call that part a "generator". Same principle, I guess.
The old 2 cylinder John Deeres were the most well suited for kerosene or distillate use, according to what I have read.
Interestingly though, the same small engines that are available here, including some 2 strokes, are available in kerosene versions in some overseas markets.

tommartyn 2 years ago
my brother has a '78 and most d100's look alike, so just out of curiosity
ILoveSubwoofers 2 years ago
i think they had different grill options for some of the years, because i think i've seen 79 dodges (ramchargers, and trucks) with 4 little square headlights, instead of the 2 round like this, and i think 78 is sopposed to have a bigger looking grill, with the turnsignals right next to the headlights in it. but then i see pics where they don't match up, so i think there might have been some options. higher models get the grill they think is cooler or something. is this your brothers grill?
