weird uses for a slant 6

My friend Chris used to work at Worlds of Fun here in KC, and the Trams used to be powered by propane-fueled slant 6's with 727's.

I went to R+R salvage in Aurora right before they closed and they had a full-size dumpster bin FULL of 8 3/4 housing with all the ends cut off and tossed in, too. They guy said that the carriers were used on rollercoasters, if I remember correctly. I wish I had bought that whole damn bin.

I remember seeing both early Hemi's and slant 6's running the field irrigation pumps in the wheat fields in eastern Colorado and western Kansas when I was a kid out running around with my Grandpa.
