Slant six builders...Lets talk Cams
crap.... lost what I started. I hate redo's.
No kidding.... with what I did with mine it will outrun my small blocks off the line... it pulls hard.
That was basically one of my hopes/thoughts with this build. My truck, being an 85, was built during some of the most weak noodled V8s ever built. Mopar and everyone else, too. A 318 was what 140HP? a 360 was 150-155ish. Pathetic. Typical "gearhead" thinking is "dump the 6, swap in V8". I always liked "different".
along that line, my hope for this build was to build up a /6 to at least "stock for that day" HP and TQ of a V8 that "could have came in that truck back then".
I've been a member here since '10. Longer than I thought. Ive been on the /6 site even longer. I got away from both as not having a vehicle that "qualified" to the purpose of the site but came back once I got this truck and "rediscovered" the /6....
I have spread out my thoughts and hopes for this build, all over various threads here.... I have done the same over there/ but I have 1 thread over there, that kinda sums up my build.... what I'm building, what I want it to do, etc if anyone wants to check it out instead of me "again" putting bits and pieces in many threads here...
My thread over there is called something like "planning an engine build... thoughts and ideas welcome" I have another about "valve size" over there that pertains to this build as well. and I know there are others here, that go to both places. long, dry, boring maybe.... but it's my "record" of sorts that I can look back on down the road if I have any questions once it's running about "where my head was" along the way.....
and though I have yet to own one, I STILL want a Dart Sport, Demon or Duster and a 67-72 Valiant 2 dr and/or Scamp. maybe next lifetime.....
in this lifetime I wound up with a Volare instead that has been in pieces for too long.
