Carb linkage-slant6 to la318 swap

Post by spoilerecw »

Going to be doing a la318 swap into my 62 d100. Anybody know if the my old slant 6 throttle lever underhood will work on the 318? Also anybody have a 318 3 core radiator and shroud they want to sell? Or what suppliers radiator will work without hacking up core support? Thanks.

Part that goes through the firewall should be the same as v8. Part to carb. Nope.

:goodpost As Kim says. Plus, if your truck has an automatic
tranny, the kick-down linkage is different as well.

Thanks for the info guys. Yes the throttle rod is what I was wondering about-part to carb. My truck was a 3 on the tree also. Anybody have any throttle rods for a la318. 3 core radiator & shroud? Thanks

I have the rod from my 64 318 truck. I just switched to a cable style throttle when I went to 4 bbl. This should work for your truck. Send me a pm if you are interested.
