Slant six cam

It would be good to know what you intend to do with your car; race, daily driver, long trips? (Don't expect anybody to necessarily remember your past posts on this....)
- Do you want tire squealing, or economy and torque?
- Carb type; 1bbl, 2, bbl, or 4 bbl?
- Trans type?

This cam is pretty similar to one sold by Doug Dutra (Doctor Dodge on www.slantsix.org) but supposedly his has a bit different lobe profile. I put one in my all stock 1962 /6 in a B-bodies '62 Dart. It does very well in the low and mid ranges and seems to pull this heavier Dart up the Appalachian mountains just fine with a manual 3-speed and a 1 BBL carb and no valve mods, just an .050" head mill. I can tell the idle is just a bit rougher than stock but still smooth.

Doug will set the LSA on the cam differently for a 1 BBL vs 2 BBL. The Comp Cams unit has 4 degrees advance ground in, so that is good. If you don't/can't spec that with Doug, you'll have to monkey with cam buttons to set advance in the cam. So that is a plus for the Comp Cams unit.

You can use Sealed Power VS510 valve springs up to .435 or .440 lift; the pix of the Comp Cams kit looks like duals which is not really needed. Someone else did some /6 valve spring research on this level of lift, so maybe they will chime in.

What REALLY bothers me on this particular Comp Cams kit is that the pix is for a V8!!! So who knows what you are going to be getting!! Caveat emptor.....




I am currently running a dual 2 barrel weber clifford intake with their headers out.
A 904 auto trans.
I just want a fun daily driver. As it is my only car. Longest trip is la to long beach everyday.
They have pictures of it on eBay where they show the slant six kit.

Maybe a little on the strip when I have it ready.
