my /6 obituary

Well, my slant 6 racing days are over before they even began. It is with heavy heart that I announce the death of the slant six in my 65 Belvedere, affectionately known as ‘Dragon’. A broken oil sensor wire and a leaking valve cover deprived it of enough oil to lose at least three rods and ruin the crank in the process. I’ll save all the ‘good stuff’ and probably build a ‘Dragon II’ someday. I plan to park the Belvedere for now. I will build another with the parts I have accumulated, but for now my slant six dreams of glory are on hold.
Sigh…
