Slant 6 power?

StrokerScamp said
I'm right at the beginning stages of a long rod 225 buildup now. I think 250 HP from a naturally aspirated slant is a stretch........for a STREET driven slant, but it certainly can be done and then some. They just get really radical at that power level and above. I am giong to be perfectly happy with whatever mine ends up being. I project 200-220 HP. And that will be snappy in a 2650 pound 1963 dart with a 4 speed overdrive and 4.30 gears. Something fun to drive is what I am after. If it gets too radical, it will be fun to drive only for a short time....then it will become a chore.

SS put it very well... unless your building a race motor i wouldn't go anything over a 235 @ .050 cam and 9.3:1(regular gas)...

as for dollar for HP these can be very expensive unless you are choosy about how you spend your money or you boost it...

as sl6dan will point out clifford is a name to be careful around... i would only buy there intake if going for hot street or race... otherwise the offy will do fine...
