Here they are lined up next to each other. Connections were simple too in the new one.

You can also use the starter from a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7L w/ MANUAL trans. All you have to do is drill out the threads on the top mounting hole. I needed clearance for the steering box and future exhaust plans on my slant powered track roadster I built. I got it from Napa and haven't had...

I do have plans to add a rear 4 point roll bar but it will be bolt in so I can remove it for the street. A roll bar is a dangerous thing if you aren't wearing a helmet. The dirt events are controlled speed exhibitions. We do some passing but we are not racing flat out as a competition.

Dirt track event at Circle M Speedway in Auburn PA Racing my buddy Brian Burns with his slant six powered model A

Another one from Mason Dixon

Haven't been on here as much but so far this season I've run the car at two drag events and a dirt track event and have been having a lot of fun. I have another drag event this weekend too at South Mountain Raceway in Boilings Springs, PA. Haven't done too many changes to the car except I made...

Thanks y'all! Just looking to get a little more pep and meaner sound from my jalopy haha. I already have an open exhaust and two barrel intake and carb. May do a cam later on as money allows. Right now I have a spare head that appears to be in great shape that I picked up from Carlisle a.few...

Does anyone know of any engine shops in Maryland with experience with slant sixes? I'm sure any shop should be able to look over and mill a head but would prefer one used to slants

Another plug for Matt. The plug wires I got from him fit great and have been working flawlessly.

Yea my buddy said the same thing. This megaphone exhaust was a big improvement over the old temporary straight pipe.

Thanks I'm really happy with how it has turned out and how it sounds! I have thought about a top and will wait to see how tall the rollbar is and see if I can make a soft top to go from the roll around to the windshield. The rollbar will be bolt on so I can remove it for street driving.

Yup this winter I'm going to try making an aluminum hood and then fit these other hood sides I bought. Here is a mockup

I've been running the car on the street and at South Mountain as well as another dirt track outing! Not many updates other than some temporary hood sides. This winter I will be working on a roll bar.

you want me to send you the oil slinger haha

And the winner is...... loose oil slinger the noise is gone and I went ahead and flushed the radiator and block while I was at it, adjusted the valves, fine tuned the idle screws, and adjusted the timing. Took it for a short ride and it seems to be running well! Thanks for everyone's help!
