Help Required: Slant 6 Engine Identification
Hi Dan,
I'm certainly keeping you busy today!
Don't worry about the dimensions your reply to my other post will help solve it, or I'll make my own.
145hp sounds right for this car, although it does go HARD and Torqueflite shifts really smoothly!
Regarding your earlier comment on the 3/5-plug blocks and 145/160hp engines, about 20-years ago our vehicle examiners would NEVER pass an AP5/AP6/VC Valiant with a 5-plug motor unless it had disc brakes fitted, their argument was the extra horsepower?
Now, all the examiners are young guys who have never seen a carburettor, never mind a slant six, and that problem seems to have solved itself.
Not saying you are wrong, just saying this is the nonsense we have to put up with over here, yet an AP6 V8 is ok on drums???
Attached is a photo of my AP5 Valiant Regal as payment for your help (LOL), 39,000 genuine miles, unrestored, enjoy and thanks again.
