    whats a slant 6 worth ?

    I think I got 375 for one with 25k miles, running, driving, with a original 904 still bolted on the back. Free to $500 is pretty accurate. Right @RustyRatRod Lol ?

    Rough idle but drives very smooth.

    I have never had a pickup coil come and go like that...(idle bad vs driving good) When they go...they typically die entirely, then magically work an hour later (in my experience) how do you know you have a misfire at idle? just a weak timing light signal? have you physically looked at the...

    I Might Have Found Something Pretty Cool.....

    Following just for the cool factor Did you lay a head gasket on it for the heck of it and make sure all the water passages and such were the same as a "normal" one? (I'm not familiar enough with the inside of a slant to tell from the pics) they probably are. Just one of the first things I...

    So much for the " it came out of a running, driving car. Drop it in and go."

    Considering people give running slants away for free....hopefully you didn't pay much for it. A post in the Wanted section on here would probably yield you one for next to nothing.

    Found this on C/L. NOT MINE. Interesting though. LOL.

    I always wonder how home brewed intakes like this run as well as they appear to. Its funny we can dyno test one brand intake to the next that are "comparable" and lose or gain 25-50.... And yet someone can tack some header tubes onto a mailbox in their garage...and it appears to run fine.lol

    TorqStorm® Slant 6 Supercharger Kit

    where did that carb hat come from? I need that in my life!

    TorqStorm® Slant 6 Supercharger Kit

    I would love to see dyno and quarter mile testing on a bone stock slant six, in an A body. With a 904. And 2.76 gears...which is basically every survivor car that results in a free slant six being offered up to whoever wants to haul it away.

    Turbo slant 6 powerwagon

    Its really hard to judge Honestly. The little t3/4 hybrids are hard to beat. I see them on there all the time for $150 with an internal wastegate. We have a few kids at work that have run them with success. Are they thousand dollar ball bearing units?...no. but seriously...perfect for a...

    Turbo slant 6 powerwagon

    Slant six, ebay turbo' and a sniper or fitech. Its so simple! :) lol. Me and the guys here joke about turboing everything under the sun, especially with this shipment of blow through ready holley snipers we walk past every day lol

    Turbo slant 6 powerwagon

    depends how big this turbo you're talking about is?lol there were plenty of D and W trucks with slants from the factory.

    well there you go, all problems solved :)

    Turbo slant 6 powerwagon

    I'm going to guess that the /6, 727, 4wd transmission core is a rare animal to find. Neat thought, but probably more work and more $ than a crate SB!

    Dominator EFI ECU and distributor

    as you see, these are on a future product waiting list. fitech is so slammed with the orders on their TBI systems, that i would guess these are a long time out. the massive efi TB CFMS are fairly irrelevant on an efi system. remember the fuel comes from computer programming...not the venturi...

    Dominator EFI ECU and distributor

    Here is a link to our fitech page, but they specialize in tbi ( which I think is perfect for a slant six) FiTech Fuel Injection but...if mpfi if your goal, then we are back to the holley hp, which is still cheaper than the dominators. HP EFI ECU Holley Performance 554-113 - Pace Performance...

    Dominator EFI ECU and distributor

    We use the hp and dominators on our 3g hemi's. Is the goal just efi, or mpfi? Or advanced control or boost? I think the dominators is just about the priciest way to go about it. The hp has the same capabilities. We use it when we dont need the transmission control. But....if efi is the only...

    Got ripped off. Looking for a new idea for the inside of the engine. Stroker maybe?

    I'll throw this out there as i don't see it refuted when mention above... you do NOT drop a block off at the machine shop and say "bore it .030 over" and then go out and purchase your pistons at a later date, after you have the block back. Aftermarket pistons are typically oversized...

    Running without a thermostat ok?

    I have heard people argue both ways. Personally I got tired of the cheap parts store thermostats freezing up every single year after the car sat all winter. I took a thermostat and gutted the spring and diaphragm, but still run the housing to restrict enough water to somewhat simulate the...

    Can't get the $&@# harmonic balancer back on!

    I have always boiled mine in a pot on the stove :) works every time....don't forget the garlic and salt!

    Need help with idle!

    Telltale sign of a mis-tuned carb. If under load it dies, or is a dog, you are asking it to perform with a bad a/f ratio. In park you may be able to get it to rev, bc with no load, itll run on fumes...or even a way too rich mixture, which is more likely the case. An engine should idle below...

    having startup issue

    I chased an intermittent starting/spark issue for 6 months, replaced a battery, MSD ignition box, coil, all because the mag pickup came and went and threw me for a loop...replacing that actually fixed the problem. talked to other mopar guys and they were not surprised at all, it's a cheap...

    having startup issue

    what you have missed is the $15 mag pickup in the distributor. yes coils come and go, and yes ballast resistors are a pain, but you said yourself you switched everything else. the mag pickup will come and go, you'll start 15 times in a row and time 16 you'll crank and crank with no...

    Slant 6 Value?

    i got 380 bucks for a 28000 mile 1974 225 slant six, with the tranny still bolted up, i threw in the 7.25 rear end just to get rid of it...i considered myself pretty lucky.

    carter fuel pump made in korea?

    imagine flipping over an aluminum set of edelbrock valve covers you shelled out $200 for because every piece of literature they publish says MADE IN AMERICA!!....to find a CHINA stamp....i was furious
