im very loosely starting to collect parts for what will be the fastest NA slant build, possibly in the 9's if put in Mark's valiant.

anyways i need a good 198 crank. mains needs to be standard and rods dont matter, they are getting moved...

i know these cranks are out there but never used...
 
I don't think I've ever actually seen a 198 slant six in person. Lol even if I have, they look just like a 225 and most would probably say its just a 225.

It came out of a running motor, if I remember correctly. I sold the rods/pistons to someone in Canada. The motor was given to me by way of a V-8 conversion.
I will look the crank over tomorrow.

i know your a good egg so im not to worried, just didn't want a boat anchor either. though some claim they all are!
 
thought the difference in a 198 and 225 was the connecting rods and deck height?

I'm not much into slant 6 but I do have a couple

225 crank is 4.125 stroke and 198 is 3.64 stroke (thus the need for longer rods)

lets just say im looking for a square motor
 
225=4.125 stroke/rg block
198=3.625 /rg
170=3.125 /lg

rg block is ~1" taller than lg block
 
Cool. A square (equal stroke/bore) slant six. Sounds like a riot.

I've always wanted to do a front engine slingshot dragster with a slant.
I believe 9's were done with a 30's something Fiat or Simca bodied slant years ago.
Now you got me thinking about a Fiat Topalino ex gasser/altered car.Hummmmm.

lets just say i may try to take it to the car show on the weekends lol...
