Anyone else into Slant Sixxer's???

wow cool:rock: I though I was the only wierd one that was into these old lil mopars. I was really captivated by how wide short the truck is over all and the step side is just a plus! I'm reading over on the slant six forum and some of the guys have some cool stuff..Like 4bls and nos running like 12's:rock:

also read up on some crude homemade turbos that bring these things alive:rock:

Between this and my monte carlo I hope to get this thing in fully driveble shape, spray it in my backyard and turn it for a quick buck to pay for some brakes on the srt, and bunch of stuff like a cage and other safety items for monte..

I anxious to drive this thing though

Never owned a d pickup with a slant, but I did have a 70 short and wide with a 413 transplant, and a 67 Longbed with a mild 318. Kinda miss the 67 with the dash shifter, kinda fun to shift manually lol.

I had a 68 Dodge van with a slant six, centered inside the van, inside a removable compartment. Any work that needed to be done, at least, you were out of the weather. Bullet proof engine.:rock:

Was introduced to a gentleman at Imm Reg Raceway,that owned the worlds fastest /6 !! In a Rail Dragster Chassis he ran 10.36's !!Decided to put the engine in a Plymouth Arrow body,and ran consistant 10.63's !!I do believe that he has participated in the /6 racing series too !!Damn,this is making me want to go play again !!

Definitely one of the best engines ever. They can be made to run like a bat out of hell too...

My first truck was a 1968 Fargo with a slant 6/3 on the tree. I paid $100 back in 1980 for it. We tried killing that truck in high school and just couldn't. I kept that truck for ten years, then sold it for $750. Lots of adventures in the old rig. I ran into a buddy after 20 years and all we could talk about was that old truck. It made a mopar nut out of me, for sure.

My gramma had a 68 Dodge Dart when i had my 68 Valiant - I could NOT get her to trade me to save my live. Hers was a 2 door and really, really neat! :rock:

Best time in the 1/8 was a 9.89 !!People couldn't understand why I would waste my money on a /6 !!!

The wife wants a '67-'69 'Cuda !!:dontknow:

When I did all this work,I first drove the car around 'til I zeroed out the odometer so it went along with the new driveline !!After pulling the motor apart and sending the crank off to be reground,I got a call from my machinist that all he did was polish it !!The sucker was STILL within factory specs !!!:rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:
