Super Charged Slant Six

well ive been around mopars almost my entire life and the slant six as i used to see it, it was a hunk of iron for grandmas then i was introduced to the 2jz toyota and they really opened my eyes about 6 cylinders, but i had my reserves about the chrysler slant six, other than the fact that you just cant kill them, but now that i see how fast you guys are going i may go in a different direction with my 67 dart, it with a all iron 440 truck motor weights 2400 pounds, so im deliberating either a 2jz toyota , a 500 ci v8 with turbos or maybe a slant six, what do you guys think? its got to be pump gas ready, drieable for every day, and still be able to kisk the living snot out of almost everything in its way, any inout would be helpful


Even though the turbo's /6 is a killer motor for its size, it has its limitations, when pitted against an engine twice its size, also turbocharged.

A 500 cid turbocharged engine in a 2,400 pound car would, in my estimation, be borderline un-driveable on the street. Just right...:angryfir:

The /6 would probably run 11 flat on pump gas, be dead reliable and cheap to build, comparatively... plus, how many egos do you want to crush ("You got outrun by a SIX????")

You pays your money and you takes your choice.... LOL!
