I owned a '73 Scamp, 2dr hrdtp and green just like that. But mine was a factory 318 2bbl. A rock solid car, and I sold it for 1400.00. Man, amazing what 25 years does....

I bought a complete 1970 Dodge Challenger Convertable for $1600 bucks.
I told him it would be a week or two untill I could go get it and pay. My friend was borrowing my trailer.
He called me back asking if he could deliver it and would also wanted to pay the transfer fees. He was worried that it wouldn't be changed to my name since it was a non runner. Then forgot it was 1600 when we met up. Said check on local bank or cash for 1500.00 I gave him 1600.

The fact that my wife's 18 year old Honda 4 cylinder could run circles around it would suck.
I would still drive it and enjoy it though. Really be a nice car with a aftermarket A/C.
Would also probably use half the slants HP to run the A/C too.
 
Id love to find that car. Id drive the Hell out of it
Any time there's no salt or snow or ice on the ground. Probably can't afford it

That car is listed at 13K.
Sadly I have 13K. But really need to put it elsewhere.
PM sent. I never looked at it personally just pic's.
 
Who me? I already have a few old Mopar, one neck deep in a ground up resto mod (D250) a low mile b body fury 2 door hardtop, a volare thats been apart too long that I need to get back to and a /6 powered D150. Only one that currently runs and drives is the fury....

No I actually do ****, not just talk about it. I didn’t say I was going to buy it. But if I were in the market for another car I’d jump all over that at $13k. That post was in jest because of this whole thread and the “I just can’t slant” mantra

Just pulling your chain.
I am just glad that car is far from me. If it was close I would have went and looked at it in person.
Buying it would have taken money from a larger thing I have plans for.
I have enough set backs.
If the green car is as nice as it looks it's a great car even with the 225.
 
Who’s hating on Scamps? Now my feelings is hurt lol. Me when I first got the car in 2004. 318 2 bbl before rebuild ran a 16.1, slow enough to where I’m glad I didn’t slant. That said, I’d rock that green one but would be looking to swap in something else.

You are right, the manifolding design been around since at least the 1920s when they needed the carb heat. Long runners certainly a band-aid, a poor one!

The Aussie 6 cyl head sounds like what you're talking about. Having never seen one and no knowledge about it, not even year of intro, is that what happened to slant upgrades instead of here?

AUS "hemi" 6 still had both manifolds on driver side but bigger bores, bigger valves that were slightly canted and overall designed for performance in mind. Chrysler U.S. considered offering a ~300ci "Big 6" variant of it for trucks but they determined the market just wasn't there.

Chrysler's approach was if a U.S. customer wants more performance than a 225 /6 they can just step up to a V8. Australian market didn't have the same attitude towards V8s so a large-ish 6-cylinder made more sense and was more widely accepted. At that time down under V8s were considered more of a high-end luxury powerplant.

This info is from Willem Weertman's book Chrysler Engines 1922-1998 which I highly recommend.

Yep, has a chapter devoted to marine and truck-only engines, also military engines including aircraft and tank engines they were contracted to manufacture as well as the XI-2220 V-16. The chapters are pretty much chronological, tons of info on the pre-WWII car engines all the way back to the first Dodge Bros and Maxwell units.
