I used to have a 2-door '67 A body. Man, the things I'd do to that 225 slant six with my current knowledge. :D

You kidding? those things are bullet proof, (relatively) light, and simple... I'd cam it and throw on a Holset HX50 with standalone EFI. I did a V8 swap in the thing, I wished I'd kept the slanty..

That Charger pictured above is a 68....

If you could find a aluminum block slant six. But i think it's the smaller cube one. 198 i think it was, i dont recall though..., then get the factory hyperpack intake and put on it with your efi and forced induction. Then you may have something that will run. But dear god those slant sixes buzz like hell when they are all done up!

Question: Anyone know a good material to use as a headliner? It rains foam or asbestos or something when I drive, not fun.

[JasonC]

You know what i find funny about these type of threads. Is that this is a BMW forum and this guy got more help in a short amount of time about a Mopar then someone would of if they asked about a BMW. I kind of noticed that on a few car sites lol.

Mine was smooth, and it only ran on 5 cyl it still had more torque than the e30.

I'd stick to the iron block in the interest of strength. They were designed from the get go to be all aluminum which is why they are so tough..

Check out some of the cars on slantsix.org; there are some guys there with turbo slants that put v8's to shame. It obviously costs big money to do it, though. It's a fun little engine as long as it's in a small car (A-bodies).......what's amazing is that they actually had a slant six option for Chargers.

I had one in a 72 Dart, and a mechanic once drove it from his shop to my work (5 miles) after replacing the manifold gaskets........with no coolant; engine still ran fine up to the day I sold it. :)

My 71 dart had a slant six. With factory ice cold air!!! I think it had 78,000miles on it. The car was butterscotch with black int and top, and a tuff wheel! The car ran fine on flat ground, but would slow down on a hill lol. Just that when the A/C was on. Well.... It wasnt pretty lol. But i took care of that with a built 360 :D

I used to frequent allpar.com for mopar help
go figure, my first post is in a mopar thread, i should be asking questions about the e30 that's currently sitting in pieces in my driveway
