The beast is dead! :-( Unfortunately, I got frustrated with head gaskets and customization and sold off the parts for the latest EFI/turbo iteration. I'm going back to a reliable old V8 setup :) 318 to 390 stroker w/ bolt on EFI, shooting for 400+ engine HP and turn key daily driving.

The biggest thing I would change is spending the money to have an MLS head gasket cut. I hear Cometic is accommodating this now but I haven't followed up. I'd also go with a big turbo, the /6 heads don't flow well so the more flow the turbo has the better (plus bigger turbos = lower boost for...

Hi Dave, I'm using a Wiseco piston and K1/Molnar rods. Compression was calculated at 8.3. I've run 20 psi for a few runs. Very similar to this setup but with a -22 CC dish. Slant six pistons Wiseco Slant 6 Pistons Forged 225 Slant Six Piston

Didn't I see this on eBay this weekend?

Now willing to pay what it takes, let me know. I need some headers ASAP to get my project back on the road - thanks! :-D

Thanks, the shorties are the ones I need, for the car, not truck. I'm using a power to manual steering adapter with a manual steering box, and no ac.

That link looks perfect. Most of the used /6 sticks I've found, people are charging just as much. Thanks for all the tips, everyone. This should work!

Hi All, I'm in search of slant six headers for an early a body. Looking for some short tube if any exist or maybe somebody has one-off a set. I plan to use them with an Offy/Clifford intake manifold. Looking to pay less than $350. Thanks!

A stock engine won't have any issue spinning up any of these turbos. They are okay picks but I would recommend a T3/T4 50 trim or 60-1. These will run much lower pressure and make more power. As for the gears, I'd go with a much higher gear for any of these turbos, nothing over 3.55 unless...

Hi All, I have a '66 Dart with a '71 slant 225 installed. Ages ago I broke my dipstick and I finally want to replace it but have no idea where to source one. Does anyone know what will work? I've looked on eBay and there are very specific year/body auctions but nothing that seems to match my...

Same on my /6 It's seen over 20+psi of boost and numerous blown head gaskets and the bottom end is trouble free

I wouldn't say it's smarts more so the ability to constantly :BangHead: year after year and enjoy the small wins, lol

Quick update on this ancient thread: it's been the better part of year and I finally bolted up the head gasket / fire ring solution to mixed results. The combustion chambers are sealed up and by my estimation bulletproof, I'd wager they could handle 40-50 PSI. However, the tolerances were a bit...

The car is built with modern sensors (crank position, knock, iat, etc.) and using an ems so detonation won't be a an issue because we have full visibility and control over fuel and timing. It's going to be mostly a street car so full alchohol isn't desirable due to the things we've mentioned...

Thanks, Bill. The flex fuel sensor and AEM EMS will handle adjustments for alcohol % on the fly. I'm a bit worried about the long term effects on the gas tank but I got a fuel pump and injectors rated for e85, and redid all the lines. It should be pretty reliable, until it's not, lol...
