    Slant Six - exhaust manifold hardware?

    OK, I am confused about the end hardware for the Slant six exhaust manifold. I see pictures of the install with the slotted part of the nut facing away from the washer, but I have removed plenty of them with the slotted part of the nut facing the washer. Which way is this really supposed to go...

    Oil Filter flip

    I have never really liked the fact that the slant six oil filter is mounted 'upside down' After a few missteps, I finally came up with something that will work to my liking.

    For those of you needing options for radiators that would include driver side outlets, here is a possible (lower) hose for you. I discovered it while replacing the radiator on my 2007 Magnum R/T.

    How creative to dress up your slant?

    OK, just making conversation here. There isn't really much available to dress up the slant six. With that in mind, to what extent have you gone to make your slant unique? I'll start it out with a pic of my engine. What you see is hand polished aluminum (water outlet), wrinkle black & chrome...

    underdrive pulleys on the cheap

    OK, this is for racing only, drag racing in particular. There was a Hot Rod magazine article about the aluminum slant 6. When they drag tested it, they discovered that if you remove the belt on the water pump, you will gain about 20 HP. With that in mind, I figure that under drive pulleys should...

    my /6 obituary

    Well, my slant 6 racing days are over before they even began. It is with heavy heart that I announce the death of the slant six in my 65 Belvedere, affectionately known as ‘Dragon’. A broken oil sensor wire and a leaking valve cover deprived it of enough oil to lose at least three rods and...

    Highest HP /6 ?

    So, I have been calculating some horsepower figures based on some slant six records. It seems like the highest power for a normally aspirated slant is about 300 HP (Doug Dutra). Does anyone know if this is accurate? -Matt

    oil pan mods?

    OK, I have made the inquiries for the Mike Jeffrey Windage Tray. Now, another question for you serious slant six racers. What oil pans are you using, and what sort of modifications work best (add baffles, etc). I only plan to take this motor apart once (this year) so I want to take care of...

    balancers?

    Ok, so I know the big block balancer will fit the slant six. My question, has anyone run across a slant six balancer that is smaller than the stock one (7 inch)? I had heard that there are some replacement balancers that are smaller in diameter. -Matt

    killing time with mods

    Ok, so I am killing time in my shop, over vacation. 400 block is at the machine shop (sorry guys) so not much to do there. I still have the slant six in the Belvedere so I figured I would make the most of it. I decided to swap my Super Six stuff from the wrecked Volare to the Belvedere. Of...

    slant six lifter swap

    OK, I am planning on changing the cam in my 65 slant six. My question is, can I pull the lifters out through the head (like I can with big blocks)? I am replacing the timing chain/gears and figured I would upgrade the cam while I had things torn down. -Matt
