A Slant 6 with headers and a 4 barrel carb? Yes!

Of course it runs, it's a slant six. Keep the slant six! Don't fix what's not broken.

Keep that ole slant six, that thing sounds absolutely killer!!!!! Really looking forward to hearing that thing screaming down the road wide open, especially if it has a cam like you think it does!

Keep the 6 cylinder engine! Brings back memories of my High School Days! You and your Dad are putting out some awesome videos!!!!

Whoever owned that Duster before loved it with the 6 banger. I would just improve it and leave the same engine in it. The guy was definitely into High Performance😊😊😊

Those slant sixes are good engines. I'd keep it as is.

Please keep the Leaning Tower of Power!! It sounds awesome!

Oh man! You have to give that slant 6 a chance to shine.

Love the old Slant Sixes! Had a bunch of them. You definitely need to adjust the valves, Michael. When they are set right, you can't barely hear them! I also love my old Super Six 225 with the Carter BBD 2 barrel set up from a 318. They ran really strong also.

Really cool lil duster, I’d leave the slant 6 in it and fix it up. Everybody does the v8 swaps anymore honestly, it’s cool seeing a hopped up slant 6 still in it. Glad you guys saved it, honestly it doesn’t look too bad definitely worth fixing up.

Keep it as is. It's a snapshot in time. Slant 6's run forever and the vintage speed parts make it even cooler.

Build her with that ole 225!! It deserves to live on!!

That bit at the end with the army truck was cool. I bet your neighbors are never surprised by anything they see you drive past their houses anymore. 🤣

In 1974 when I was 16 years old I delivered a brand new 6 cylinder Duster from Denver to a dealership in Montrose, Colorado. I was in heaven driving a brand new car at 16 years old! Not sure how my dad arranged for me to do so but I certainly wasn’t about to object! The drive there was a lot more fun than the Greyhound bus ride back to Denver. I sure enjoy your videos! My in-laws had a GMC motorhome back in the 80’s. It brings back some great family memories.

What a great find Please keep 🙏 the slant 6 Especially that one 4bbl , Header , cam

This car, cleaned up with some aluminum slots, big in the back and little up front is basically my dream mopar

My first car in 1972 without all the goodies. $2295 financed for 3 years paid for working building pump jack panels. Thanks for the memories.

Wow! The leaning tower of power. With all those add on goodies too. I love it. Can't wait to see you guys bring this one back to life.

Gotta keep the “hillside hemi” it sounds great ! Nice twister special, love the seat material.

Leave the slant 6 for sure. BTW, I really hope that the Pagoda at 29:30 makes an appearance on the channel!

Keep it a 6,cool truck😊

Keep the 6 because it's unusual. You never see a Duster with a 6 anymore. I had a 1970 Duster in 1970 with a 6 and I put a 4 barrel on it also. It was orange and the color name was Vitamin C. Good stuff!

Normally I would say it has to have a V8. But this 225 is an exception. That thing sounds fantastic and I bet you it has some nice power as well. Do it up man!

First truck had the 225 leaning tower of power. When that one died we put a Super Slant 6 called the 275 we pulled it out of a 1970’s Duster. All I’m saying is let it ride my man.

I just love the sound of inline sixes

I think you should keep the slant 6 -- Mostly because I carry around a lot of guilt for blowing up the slant 6 in my old '64 Dart.

Take the Spark plug gaskets off on these drool tube engines.....just thought you might like to know. Nice find, very cool to see that someone liked the Slant 6 this much. I like it alot!!!!!! I would do a V24 hood treatment stripe with the engine Callout "225". Leave this one a 6 cylinder....you can always get another for a V8 build.

Those little old dusters are so light, I bet the 6banger pushes it around pretty good

I totally appreciate your methodology of getting engines back to life especially after seeing the debris in the intake manifold. Nice work! Keep the slant 6 👍🏼

Had the exact Duster, down to the nice orange plaid bench seat. It had a 318 and 3speed on the floor. A hundred bucks in 79... :)

you're so right with your comment "using the old stuff is better than using new stuff". after replacing the dist-rotor, -cap and wiring on my good old Opel Commodore he runs like a "bag of nuts", as we say in German. i've searched days for the fault, checked everything. than i bought new "old" genuine parts from Opel/Bosch (rotor, cap and wirings) and - my good old pal runs as new. new parts, manufactured today, are often crap =( BTW: i like how you bring good old cars back to life and your vid's. keep going on to rescue little pieces of the good old times before they're crushed and forgotten forever. always cute to see when your kid's are working also on the old stuff, thumbs up ^_^.

Leaning Tower of Power always never disappoint. A keeper.

Yes, an A body mopar! Really excited to see this come back to life!

Leave the six if you wanna play turbo charge it. Love the content keep it coming.

Keep the slant 6. You can't kill'm and I think that once you get it rolling on the road, you'll be surprised at the power with the 4bbl and the header.👍✌

Slant Sixes were some of the best engines made. Keep it with this car.

The camera slam was epic

Let that Slant-sixxer live! shes definitely been warmed over a bit, and deserves a second chance! I think i can speak for many other mopar folks, we need to see that 225 slant peelin some tires!!

Super happy about the hopped up Slant 6. Keep it and bring the rest of the car around.

My first car was a 1971 duster just like this, well all stock anyway. Brings back tons of memories. in the 6 years I drove it that car NEVER left me stranded. The few times it broke it did it as I would pull into my driveway.

Keep the slant six! Make her road ready!

you're saving my day. just what i needed, a rescue video from BB. Making the world a better place - one car at a time. thanks!

I remember Splitfire plugs from the 80's, I had a set on my Toyota pickup. They were supposed to be the hottest thing around. Thanks for the memory on that! Nice work getting the old girl running!

That 225 slant six was never a power house. But you can't kill those motors. Good car, good motor. I worked on many of those when I was your age. Enjoy the car. Best of luck.

Same "watermelon" hubcaps as the 71 Plymouth Valiant in Duel, by Steven Spielberg haha! Hello from Brazil 👏

For what it's worth, keep the six. It reminds me of the '74 Duster I owned.

I haven't seen splitfire spark plugs in like 25 years. Talk about a throwback!

The Rage Monster at 17:30 was terrific. Even the Maestro gets frustrated sometimes. Bravo good Sir! You just went up even more in every viewer's estimation.

I love those slant 6s. Very underrated. Always wanted a Duster. Expensive in NZ

paint that black and you are the coolest dude in town for a very limited time before adulthood kicks in,i feel that engine deserves to stay in the car somebody loved this timecapsule

Al and Peggy would be proud.

Nice!you and your Dad always bring the best content! Thanks 👍

I have a 1970 Plymouth Duster . I have a 225 slant six. Mine has the one barrel Holly carburetor model 1920 . I have the stock exhaust manifold. The 904 torqueflight transmisson. I still enjoy driving it on the weekends. Glad to see you will have that one back on the road soon.

I had a friend and she only wanted Dodge and Plymouth cars with 6's. This was Deja vu. I'd keep it with the slant-6.

That thing's got a pretty hefty cam in it. Sounds 😎 cool

Better to hear birds than dogs,so be lucky for that🙏🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧

Looks almost exactly like my best friends car that we cruised around in in the early 80's. He did it up all nice, and the chicks dug it !Clean it up, and leave it as is , is my thought.

Keep that slant 6. It's awesome

I’m 54 born in 69. Older I get I see that the older cars and trucks are better than the new stuff.

Great work ! I am on my 13th Duster. Been building Mopars over 50 yrs going. Like your channel. I drag raced a Duster 6 yrs with a JB welded radiator. Very methodical and practical repairs you are making. Keep it going, keeps us all sane !

Back in high school those dusters with the slant 6 was the car to have. They were economical and very easy and inexpensive to fix. Which is exactly what a high school kid working part-time in fast food needed. The slant 6 was the best engine.

Instant thumbs up when you lifted hood. Slant with goodies, oh YES! And it sounds great too.

That's a Plymouth and I live in Plymouth. A very cool looking car I love the styling especially the tail lights. Great job.

That 945 5ton is a great rig, almost impossible to get stuck with the CTIS. drove one for years

Press like, Press play, enjoy.

FANTASTIC! Love to see another video on this winner!

Definitely keep the Leaning Tower of Power!! Can't wait to see this car cleaned up and driving!

Not a mopar guy but I like this Duster alot!

Really enjoyed the getting it running. Keep it original and clean it up as best you can to restore the pride it once had. Cheers from New Zealand.

The camera thing reminds of when I put a radio in my old nova. Got mad at the back bracket and threw a pair of pliers across the yard, took me 2 hours to find them. The neighbors had a good laugh

great video ,, leave it a 6 ,, too cool

Good.job.nice plymouth.Duster good show 👍👍👏👏👏👏😍

First car 1970 Plymouth Duster. 6 cycle. Bought in August 1981 for $1500.00. I loved that car. Today 2023 Chevrolet Suburban. Times change.

Love this little Duster! Honestly, I'd keep the slant 6... it gives the car more character. This doesn't mean that the slanty can't get a nice intake... exhaust... turbo. That's what I'd do with it, anyway.

Yeah Brothers, you just can't kill those slant 6's - I had one in a '80 Volare and the more I pounded on it the better it ran - very dependable! Great video!

Love a valiant duster with the slant six!!

Brings back memories of my 66 Dart GT. Those slant 6’s are damn near bullet proof. Another awesome video!!

wow! what a cool Duster. ya gotta keep the slant 6 , its original to the car and its just too cool . thanks for the videos.

Didn't knew the Plymouth came out as a coupe too, - exact same color as in the 1971 Spielberg thriller "Duel", - looking far better than the sedan version in that movie !

God the sound of that slant brings back tons of memories my dad drove a 83 d150 for years these engines had a very unique sound

You have the makings for an awesome sleeper.

Keep the 6 . If you want to play turbo it . That is the sweetest /6 I've ever heard . I know back in the day my dad's truck with a slanty would pull a 350 auto van every time . The six would just Rev faster and the 3 on the tree added to it . I so love this one so much . I remember my mom's 76 dart and my 6'4" big butt 300+ at the time tring to fit in back seat... with dad having the seat back all the way ... Thank you the memories you just brought back wow . Pluss you are going to make bank on this car . They go for so much now. Watch out for the 904 transmission with the extra power . Always Cary an extra Ballesteros resistor. Trust me I know . Napa has the bushing rebuild kit for the windshield wipers... you will need it . I think that might be a 7 1/4 rear if so an upgrade to an 8 Ford or a 8.8 out of an explorer ( disk brakes ) would be a good call. I can't wait until the clean up video Did I mention I want this car so bad .....I'm 54 and it makes me feel like a kid again ❤❤❤ thanks again I love your channel and that you and your dad do it together

Always better to see vehicles brought back to life the way they were meant to be,... Love ya channel Guys..x

Can’t wait to see you give it the beens Michael That is a bit of a hopped up engine I bet she is going to do a bit of a good skid down the road

It’s also nice to see that you used the correct Mopar gear-reduction starter instead of ruining it with a modern mini starter.

That little 6 is cool, everyone wants to V8 swap everything. Id love to see someone turbo a slant 6😅, great video

A lot of guys had these old Plymouth 6 bangers in high school. We called them Plymouth clickets.

Great job working on a MOPAR. I would like to see you get that 225 going at its potential.

Who builds a 6 cylinder? That's freaking awesome!!👍 Can't wait to see the Duster cleaned up! It looks pretty solid!

Ihad a 72 Duster in High School with the slant 6. Keep the leaning tower of power, fix up the car and Iwill watch every episode.👍

Old style soldering iron and gas torch plus leaded plumbing solder to fix radiator . Love those old slant 6 engines. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

Two sounds I love the most from a old Chrysler is the starter and a Slant 6!! Great work! Keep it!!

Keep the 6 banger. This is a survivor, and a time capsule of the car scene that itbwas apart of way back when.

Awesome build...keep the slant 6 for sure!👍

Dang, split fire, spark plugs! This sounds like a JC Whitney mobile! Being a veteran of the teenage hot rod years of the early 70s, I can see this being the same thing.

Yes dod not stop now 😊 your friend had a nice hunting truck 😊 very nice 👍 thanks for your time looking good 😊👍👍👍😊

you cant kill at 225 slant 6 one of the best engines ever made. have fun with it. So easy to work on and repair.

Love your channel I can relate to all the cars you have worked on , I was a mechanic from 1977 to 1990 (dealerships and full service gas stations) We had a Duster with a six and a three speed on the floor, brought my daughter home from the hospital in it.Your videos are real and very interesting keep up the good work. My favorite car is the falcon station wagon , My father in law gave me a 1960 ranchero with a 6 cylinder and I soon tore the clutch out and sold it for 100 bucks big regrets!

Another great video and the Plymouth is cool, I'm looking forward to more videos. The military truck was amazing, the sound nice

I’ve liked all the cars you guys have done so far. Maybe I’ll like this one too.
