    Show your Slant 6 engines!

    Nice! Not very often do you see those hurricane intakes take use of the bungs, and when you do, its nitrous instead of EFI. Any specs on it?

    New performance Slant article in Hot Rod

    Bill, is it any way related to spool? As in, is that the same speed range you get full spool and/or boost?

    Vid of Clifford Hop Up

    And what all does this consist of? Cam specs, compression, etc.?

    170, 198, 225 how many of each?

    Not to mention a 198 crank barely fits from my understanding, so I doubt an extra half inch of crank would at all. And like Charlie said, rod ratio anyone?

    Help opinion's needed!!!

    A fellow by the name of Mike Jeffrey recommends running a 2 inch spacer on the offy if you can make it fit. Says the carb sits too low to the plenum floor and that the space improves it greatly. Just figured I'd pass it along...

    FYI: Dutra Duals and Starter Clearance

    Ah... Let us know how it runs once you get it together, and if you get some dyno/drag results!

    FYI: Dutra Duals and Starter Clearance

    It almost looks like you stole my pics! Haha I ran dual dutras with the aussiespeed 2v on my last build, now I'm trying to figure if I want to run my Aussie or the Offy! Whats some info on the lovely engine this is strapped to?

    Beefed up My six, need more power to the Rear

    Rusty, I believe it adapted small block transmissions instead of B/RB. That was a truck/van only item in the 60s, the slant specific 727 came in later trucks, taxis, police cars etc.

    Fastest/ most powerful slant six?

    That there is team green. Both times that I have seen them they run high 10s. You can find videos of them on YouTube out running a hellcat. Never been privileged enough to talk to them.

    Suggestions on performance upgrades for 225

    Sure. Buy the most expensive product you can find from the least reputable source you can imagine. Oh, and make sure it is something that is completely the opposite of what you would need for your application. Good luck :banghead:

    Suggestions on performance upgrades for 225

    Nononononononono I would stay as far away from Clifford as possible. From what I've seen/heard they are scam artists, are stupidly overpriced, and a lot of times will sell you wrong parts (mech cam instead of hydro, adjustable (mechanical) rockers with a hydraulic cam, etc) Not to mention...

    Suggestions on performance upgrades for 225

    This is true. I'm gonna have ~$2500 in a slant, and I guarantee its not going to come anywhere close to 400 horse! I'm going to guess you can swap to a v8 for the same amount or cheaper and not have to constantly worry about it blowing up (this is a real concern with forced induction) and be...

    Suggestions on performance upgrades for 225

    Turbos are pretty cool On diesel or proper efi motors :D

    Suggestions on performance upgrades for 225

    I'd say increase compression and head flow as the best gains. A feller name Joshua Skinner over on the slantsix(.org) forum has went 17 something in the 1/4 with a stock cam. Cam (small, like [email protected] or smaller if it were me), carb (again, stay small. Smallest autolite 2100 for me), and exhaust...

    Fastest/ most powerful slant six?

    370 naturally aspirated ponies have been obtained before, and I believe 630 is the most force fed that I'm aware.

    How much power do engine mods yield?

    I love how if a n/a slant runs 14s, and its 'topped out' at '300 horse', but a slant runs a 12 somethin and its 'blazin fast' but is actually MEASURED at 300 horse. As in, like, dyno proven. But the slant that runs 14s on all motor has never been MEASURED, its just ASSUMED that it makes 300 and...

    How much power do engine mods yield?

    Guess that's your perogative, sounds like a diesel and a leafblower had a baby to me. Plus it don't have a cool lumpy idle. If I wanted something that whined all the time I'd get a wife, but to each their own I s'pose! :D

    How much power do engine mods yield?

    Hey, how does the super turbos sound on a slant? I've wondered about them and the ultraflows.

    Intake Manifold

    Yes, my Aussie is saved for an efi project down the road as well. If you can buy a used one at a discounted rate, I feel like they are good for that. I didn't mean to bash them entirely, there is some good in 'em.

    Is this a cam problem?

    What gears? Stock compression? My $.02, it's not 'way too big of a cam', but just a couple steps bigger than stock. I dunno the purple stick specs off the top of my head, but sounds about the same characteristics as the Comp 264/OCG819. Mine, in a 8.9 compression 225 with 2.76 gears and stock...

    Slant six cam

    That is indeed odd, as I've heard reports, and Comp even advertises that their 252 comes on just off idle. I think (my overpriced $.02 of course) that I'd take the operating range with a grain of salt, since it is all very dependent on the different motor combinations anyhows.

    Slant six cam

    Go for the Oregon Cam Grinders #819. Same cam. Plus, you can have your old cam and lifters reground to this and be much cheaper. Oh, and this cam would like 8.5-9:1 TRUE (as in measured) compression, and possibly some 2.94-3.23 gears. This cam will 'come on' right around 2500rpm

    Intake Manifold

    I have the aussie 2v, paid $300 used. I feel like I would have been better off to buy a new or used Offy. I was able to buy a used offy and 450cfm hollley for $150. There is no way I'd pay the $600 (plus shipping across the pond), but that's just me. If you do go that route, I'd get the 4v...

    Intake Manifold

    Get neither. Aussiespeed: nice fancy lookin intake that (for the 2v) is a complete waste of money. Isn't even the best for performance, long runners look cool, but are hard to heat (water heat? slooowww) very limited selection of carbs Clifford: I assume you mean the one set up for a...

    Need help with rebuild

    Good info on all that, especially the MSD guys advice. I'd trust most salesmen 'bout as far as you can throw 'em. I quoted the info above, cause to be more 'universal' I guess it should be worded 'lash the cam to whatever the manufacture suggests'. My OCG 819 lashes at .010 and .012, at stock...

    225 turbo headers

    Well, I think you were also correct, just thinking of a differnt head. I also believe I read sumthin about an alloy head that wasn't much different (if any) than the stock one. That was much earlier, like, when the slant was first designed. 20 years or so before the one I posted pictures of. I...

    225 turbo headers

    Here ya go Would've been quite crude, much similar to the early Buick draw-thru V6s (from what I hear they were dogs) but it would've been a good starting point, would've at least got our foot in the door, and could've been converted to EFI w/out much effort (or maybe Ma Mopar would...

    Need Holley One Barrel Recommendation

    Keep what you have and find how to properly rebuild them both if they are original. Shouldn't have lean burn, should just have the super rare carb and distributor custom optimized for the Dart Lite/Feather Duster. Don't blame the carb/distributor for the poor running if you aren't certain...

    performance upgrade

    And while you're at it, you can shave the head and/or block for more compression!
