The whole piston flip thing was tested by richard holdner, at westec performance, there was zero measurable gain, so dont listen to old wives tales. Like was suggested, a slant responds to compression, intake and exhaust improvements, and the normal "hop up" steps

What's ridiculous is they make a head for the chevy 348/409 family, and there cant be much demand for those...

His work looks excellent, and not many people will even touch cast iron...that's the sweetest slant head I think I've ever seen!

REALLY nice work!

Pretty dang cool!

It's just the OP continuing to try to prove a the "fat head" and "V8" guys wrong. We all appreciate a slant six, but some of us are smart enough to know reality over some internet fantasy slant six build

So the article points out that a max cube slant, runs about like a 2 barrel 273, until it stops making power at about 4500 rpm. Lots of work and expense for a lackluster outcome.

If you could have put it on MRLs dyno, it would have made at least 300 hp! But nice build, looks like eye candy too!

How much nitrous are you spraying it with?

Looks cool as hell, what's it run in the 1/4?

Is a all iron slant any lighter than a aluminum head small block? I really don't know personally

If a guy wants to build a slant, I'm not gonna bash him for his choice, but I've owned a few and I stand by my opinion of them.

Don't worry AJ, I'm with ya too! The only reason on earth to spend a penny on a slant six is because it's a novelty, dollar for dollar, pound for pound, a slant sucks

So your saying a stock slant in a 66 valiant runs high 13s?

Are you drinking? You do know that the slant six has been around LONGER than a "LA" v8 right?

So us guys with a v8 can't drive around the block? Lol....

Wise choice, but the same general hop up strategy still aplies, but your miles ahead with a v8

Cool...pretty cool it's a 4 door also

What does your car run?

I don't DISLIKE a slant really, I just couldn't get excited about one after owning quite a few. I had ideas of putting a turbo on one at one time, but never did. It's cool we don't all like the same thing tho!

The love of them goes away really quick when you figure out you can do the same modifications to most any v8 for a better return on investment...there cylinder head design is a handicap for any real power, and most cars that seem fast with a slant, are ultra light weight. In the real world, a...

Very cool project Tony, will be following!

Tune up what you have, maybe swap on the super six parts and have a nice exhaust system installed....not a lot of money, then enjoy the car till you can afford a basic 5.2/5.9 magnum swap. No way I'd spend a grand on someone else's slant, especially if I allready owned one

It's already been pretty clearly explained if you read through the replies....especially AJs post.....a naturally aspirated slant six capable or running low 14s or high 13s in a typical 3100lb a body will be a temperamental engine and not much fun...

Your in for quite a disappointment bud!

OP is talking about a 69 dart, not a early a

Probably doesn't make 300 HP, very doubtfull it will run 14s either. Why's he selling? If it's to swap to a v8, then there's your answer

V8 without a doubt. A stock 360 magnum can get you in the 14s in a good chassis.

It would be cool to have a low cost kit to do that. A turbo slant is certianly a cool project, But saying a turbo slant is gonna provide a faster car with better mileage might be a stretch. I wouldnt use bill deadmon as a refrence, he took almost 5 years of work and enginering to ever make a...

What do those cars weigh? very impressive!
