Does this guy know what he's talking about?

Too many people say "truck engine" to diss various engines. My 1996 Voyager has a 2.4L DOHC which was also used in performance Neons, albeit w/ turbo's. A bit strange app for a minivan, but it gives almost as much power as the V-6 if you rev it up. The slant can be souped-up w/ a turbo. Then the restricted intake and valves doesn't matter, you just jam the air in. See Bill Dedman's posts and the youtube of a guy running 9.09 sec 1/4-mile in a 67 Plymouth. But, turbo is a roll-your-own mod currently. Perhaps strangest thing of the slant is how they offset the water pump and integrated it into the block to shorten the length. Even then, no room to fit a clutch-fan, at least my early A's. Similarly, the main crank pulley is integral w/ the damper. To fit an AC pulley, they squeezed it between the damper and timing cover. Perhaps Chevy and Ford straight-six engines had similarly jammed components to shorten axial length.
