The "Indestructible" Slant 6

The biggest thing I hear "bad" about them from the Mopar crowd no less is this. "They only have four main caps." Well, lemmie enlighten you. Yeah, they "only" have four, but I bet you didn't know those main caps are the same size as 426 HEMI caps, did you? Also, they are a deep skirt block, much the same as a big block and HEMI. They are NOT weak engines.


Thats where it hit me! The crankshaft in a 71 225 is a very nice piece! I know its not apples/apples to what he was running, but still yet, a very good design.
