Hello
I am new here in the forum and new to Slant Six'es.
Story so far:
I bought last year a '37 4 door Plymouth.
The original engine was not the best anymore so i decided to swap it with a (dont laugh) Slant Six. It is some sort of strange combination but i love it
The problem is that Slant 6 engines are not so present in germany. Its not easy to find an engine but its much harder to find somebody who has knowledge about it.
Long story short: i found an engine (which came out from a truck) from somebody who knows somebody. I Was searching on the i-net for the engine number and also for tuningparts.
But i am still as stupid as before.
So i hope you can help me with my stupid questions:
1. Identification:
The stamped engine number is 8 225 T26 6 CE. The number on the block is 3577 / 530-9. Thats it. Other numbers what i have found so far are much longer. But it must be an engine >'75 because it has no sparkplug tubes anymore.
2. Mild tuning:
I would like to have about 170 to 190 horsepower. What kind of parts are necessary to change and which brand is preferred from your side?
Thank you very very much in advance. Sorry for annoying you guys with the questions.
Manuel
