Speaking of Mazdas . This is my 92 B2600i LE that I redid a few years ago . Only has 108k on it but I went thru everything just in case . Color keyed the grill and fender flares when I painted it .

It will certainly have more torque! And more reliable. Those RX8 had a lot of engine issues . The old 13B was a great engine and ran like a scalded cat in R1 and R2 RX7s with turbos . I put thousands of miles on them when I sold them .

Interesting

Really ? A slant is the same weight as a rotary ? I wouldn’t have guessed that.

Or are you using the Mazda bell housing?

Will the Mopar starter mesh with the Mazda flywheel ? What is the diameter of the flywheel?

I’ve thought about installing resonators on my 340 Swinger . But not sure how well they would work.

It might have a catastrophic engine problem or it might have something simple that would turn into a catastrophic problem if you try to run it. Either way, I think it would be time well spent to just pull the engine.

Just pull the engine and tear it down . If all looks good regasket it . If things look bad you saved a lot of time and hassle. If you try to get it running as is you might just ruin the engine because of one cheap part or debris / corrosion inside .

While your at it clean and wire wheel/Sand all the grounds. Engine , chassis , headlights , tail lights fuel tank ….

Use the old ones . Unless you are going to turbo or NOS it they will work fine .

like 4spragtop said … it’s a condensation drain tube . Was the car equipped with factory A/C ?

OP has 2 threads going and thought he was on the other about mirror gasket .

Right ... missed that post .

Would vinegar hurt the system ? If not you could run a few gallons of vinegar theu the system and drive (or let it sit after running the engine) for a few days then drain it . That should disolve rust in the jackets.

/6 powered ?

Did 340 cars use that ? I recall my 73 340 4sp having a plate over that hole .

I had a friend vapor blast a few carbs and my Holley Pro Dominator tunnel ram . Came out like new ! The intake actually is NOS but had lost its luster just sitting around . The carbs were nasty though.

Still cool to read .

Just don't let this thread die here ... I really want to know how the engine runs once complete . Are you going to maximize quench and comp. ratio ?

My temp gauge just started doing the opposite . It will stay on the cold side or not move at all . All wiring was new when car rebuilt , gauges gone thru and solid state limiter .

Honda engineering sent out a memo to all service departments stating that under NO circumstances should you flush engines . It said they have had catastrophic engine failures due to flushes .

That intake is a Offy and I believe you are correct . It is a dual 1 bbl not 2 bbl. Nice Challenger ! Those are rare. A friend bought a slant challenger in Seattle back in the late 90s and I drove it back to Idaho . It ran great !

I texted my brother and asked for more pics . The guy lives 2 hrs north of the Twin Cities. Yes the hood looks like it took a lot of work to make . That is why I doubted it was a mass produced or even a short run piece.

I kind of figured it was done by an individual but thought I would ask . Not all builds have to be blinding fast . I would love to do a 64 Valient with an alloy slant and alloy OD 833 just to see how light you could get it and max mpg. It would still be quick due to power to weight .

A lot of work went into that hood .

Not factory but a dealer upgrade special edition is what he said . I recognized the Offy intake but not the hood . I asked Shawn to get me pics of the whole car and ask him what dealer it was supposed to have come from. My first reaction was a modified Valient. The guy also has some Road...

My brother sent me some pics of a friends car that is supposed to be a special package with a Slant 6 running 2 carbs and a hood that appears to have Sport Fury bulges and signals . I have never seen or heard of such a car. Was this a Dealers Special Edition like a Mr Norms car ?

My brother and I were just talking about RX3s last week . He said a guy at his track has one with a small block chevy LS engine . I said he should have used a 3 rotor twin turbo .

Really ? That is cool ! I had no idea they injected oil for the rotor seals. I assumed Wankels just inherently ate oil .
