That is sweet. It looks really solid. That whammo in the rear quarter is a drag but a cool ride. I bet you could find a nice 273 somewhere to shoehorn in the engine compartment...LOL
Or build the slant with something different, like a triple Weber or triple SUs
And a set of headers

I just noticed there is something wrong with the engine in that convertible. Does anyone other than toolmanmike see what it is?
It’s likely a later model slant (blue rather than red)
Promise, I will stick with Mopar A-body!Switching brands on us?
You're OK, Mike is just PlyejudicedPromise, I will stick with Mopar A-body!
Was it originally a white with white top? Didn't decrypt the fender tag, so I'm being lazy.
It was PP bright red with red interior and white top.
After you rebuild that slant, get that fuel line and filter safely routed
Pictures? I'm not so much into slants.....
That fuel line is sitting right in the intake manifold and close to the exhaust manifold
So it’s going to be a 273/318/340 or 360 then OR maybe a big block OR even an early Hemi?
At the moment I think I will stick with the 225/auto combo. But that is for now

Someone stole half of the engine. There is only one valve cover? LOL
Besides being imoorted like Ulf has done with his DartChargers, i think a lot were shipped over partially assembled and finished over there. They did the same thing in Switzerland. Friend of mine had a 66 Barracuda like that
I will search the car. It should be there!!
It was my lucky day. Lots of parts have been rechromed, bumpers, emblems, tail lightsalmost new , new top and NOS front fenders! Factory spinner wheel covers.
Anyone have front and rear seat covers?

So finally some progress. Unfortunately the fuel pump was dead but soon.......
The 225 fired right up after 14 years. Is the slant six Chryslers most reliable engine ever?
If not #1, certainly close to it
