Hmm. Good question. Could not find anything via Google or Yahoo, or here on Allpar. In fact, there's precious little on the full sized vans here. I think I'll try to address it.
it actually lasted longer than that as a marine engineI saw an 83 cargo van with the Slant Six and a four speed at a local yard once. I didn't know they were made even that late, let alone up to '87.
1995? Unless the Slant Six was used in an obscure application like implements, etc. The last year of the Slant was 1987 in the B vans............the 'Dakota' 3.9L V6 for 1987 superseded the Slant in the D and possibly W (4WD) series Dodge pickups as well that same year. I believe that the 318 was standard in the W series for a few years previously.it actually lasted longer than that as a marine engine. I think final production in totality was 1995 for the good old Slant 6. More than likely one of the longest production runs for a 6-cylinder engine, with the exception of the AMC/Chrysler Inline 6 (rip 1958-2004).
i meant it was made as a marine until 95 (correct me if i'm wrong), but yes, it was last used in a passenger vehicle/truck in 1987.1995?

Chevy 6 started in 1929 and was finally phased out in 1999it actually lasted longer than that as a marine engine. I think final production in totality was 1995 for the good old Slant 6.

The NP-A535/NP2500 is a RWD transmission. The FWD transmissions are the NPa520, 555, 523, 568.Just to clarify, the A535 trans used until 1993 was a minivan FWD item, not used on any B series. I have a 93 Voyager w 2.5 4cyl & 5sp manual trans. 94 was the last year for manual trans in minivans, not sure about B series.
