    Every day economy build

    I used to still have a few of those. I will have to look to see if any are available.

    Alter cam timing

    The cam gears with the slot are nearly impossible to change timing with. Your best recourse is using a timing set with the multi keyed crank gear or a cam gear without the slot (so you can use the offset bushing kits.

    Interesting manifold

    If for mounting 2bbl carbs, that linkage would not work.

    Max bore out size for a 225?

    Would be nice if we could get some Argentine 906 blocks here in the US.

    This Carb spacer didn’t work for me, but might for you

    No worries to anyone. The good news is that I will be working on an improved design for the one barrel spacer. I hope to get input from Slant Six Dan and others. I do try to make a good product, but I apparently do not know a lot of the Slant Six nuances (I blame my big block fetish). Thanks...

    This Carb spacer didn’t work for me, but might for you

    I gave him a total refund and told him to keep the spacer as I couldn't sell it after he modified it. For the record, I was never contacted about any issues with the spacer. Just a message from ebay that a return/refund was requested. I have fit this specifically on a 65 slant six, a 73 slant...

    Anyone build headers before?

    When I made my 2 into 1 pipe assembly for my Clifford shorties, I bought some band clamps and cut holes in the bands. I could securely clamp the pies in place but still reposition them as needed. Once I got things positioned, I could tack weld them and then move on to the next section. When...

    Mattman's Mopars !

    I will look into that. The biggest problem with that would be preventing leaks from oil collecting in the lower edge of the valve cover.

    Mattman's Mopars !

    Thanks for the kind words, Rob. I appreciate all the feedback I get as it helps to improve the products. I am always looking to add new items to the inventory. I am actually working on a spacer/adapter for the later style hydro heads. One that will let the early style valve covers fit the...

    Cast Crank

    I'd need to check, but I think Doug Dutra's Slant Six book may have the info.

    Pulling it out

    Of those two holes, the front hole is a single lift point to balance the engine only. The rear hole is a single lift point to balance the engine/trans together.

    Slant-6 Engines are Dangerous!!!

    There was a Plymouth dealer in Johnstown PA that, in the 60/70's, used to put brand new GM and Ford cars on their used car lot. I always found that amusing, but I am sure it was just likely a sales gimmick.

    Oil Filter Relocation for Slant 6

    I did the same exact thing on my engine. My setup differs only slightly from yours. Next I do it, I will mount my filter to the bell housing flange similar to yours.
