New Generation Slant six enthusiasts

The bowtie 350 is rapidly falling from grace too due to the flood of cheap LS1 (Gen III, IV and V) motors found in everything from trucks to Vettes. Big power, good supply and EFI. But the six was, like the 318, a utilitarian motor: dependable, low maintenance, and inexpensive to maintain. Never really produced for the performance market. My old mechanic buddy had 3 Big Lincoln V12s that were worth pennies on the dollars that he used restoring them as no one wants them. Stuff just falls out of favor. Hold on to them. I dont think the supply will ever completely dry up as these hulks seem to be everywhere in non running states. Its hard for a manufacturer to outlay the capital to invest in a casting for a motor that has about a <1% market share in the hot rod community. Dont wait for the next manufacturer to make something for your slant, YOU make it, or adapt if from some other motor. They are all just pumps, and a BMW straight 6 stripped down to the block and crank is not that different from a slant and look what they are getting out of those. Lets get back to the hot-rod culture of adaptation and fabrication. That's where the fun is.
Proud owner of a slant that is: Ford EDIS fired, Toyota turbocharged, MS2 managed, bung- in-head injected, Crane cammed, home made induction fed, Nippondenso started..and its painted International Harvester Red..sitting in a car that came with a 273-4 that has "Formula 6" badges now.
