dear engine master guy,ive been hearing talk about the Heads that were developed for a racing series in Brazil or argentina. supposedly

@@RobsMusicBox , that's interesing. I have seen the racing in the countries you've mentioned and it's pretty cool.

Have you tried that engine on trumpets with fully rolled radius? Would have been nice to see the difference on extractors too.

@@jjmac3561 , no but I believe there would be further gains in doing so. Yes, a good set of pipes, custom made top fit would also net some gains.

@@RobsMusicBox this is true as the straight sixes were/are very popular esp in Argentina where the Ford Falcon is an icon. I have heard the same thing about these multivalve conversion heads but, because they aern't 750 hp engines, like US racing V8's, there isn't much mention.

Welcome!

Thanks for hooking us up with this artist!

It would be interesting to see the reversion on a high speed camera.

It would be interesting to hear David Vizard's take on this reversion. he's had a career of working with Weber's and or direct port carbs.

KZfaq community 👌👌

Wow ..just wow on so many levels.. I guess the good old engineering at Chrysler was right . Super cool to see in real time.

Hi Mike, thanks for sharing your story with us. They sure are a dependable engine.

I've heard of keeping spare radiator hoses, fan belts, spark plugs & points in the boot, but not a spare starter motor. Most are just too hard to get at if you're stuck on the side of the road with a dud starter. Obviously, the slanty has the starter on the upper side of the motor.

I know a man I hunted with (Sam Walton of Wal-Mart fame!) who put over 460,000 MILES on a 225 Slant Six in a Grey D150 Pick-em-up with a Torque-Flite! He parked it when the frame rusted enough it "hogged" or bent and bound-up the drive-shaft. He replaced it with his famous (used) red 360 V-8 Power-Wagon 4WD pick-up, I think he had until he died for a huntin'/fishin' truck. I used to drive over from Tulsa to Bentonville (first when he STILL had the Western Auto Store) and quail and Spring Turkey hunted with him. I never got a turkey, but got some quail with his Brittany Spaniels in upland Ozarks brush. He was one heck-of-a-fine-man.

ive heard they can go, interesting to learn from your experience.

351 XB what a chunk of shit like driving a out of control boat.

@@grimreaper6112 sounds like my old 360 val

VGs had a hemi ?

@@clutchkicker392ison5 sounds right my friend had a seriously worked 265S block in a vg sedan

When I got out of high school, I serviced commercial two way radios. That slant six was the most popular taxi cab engine. At that time I drove a Fury with a 318. The 318 was one of those indestructible engines.

Glad he did not encounter an old Peterbuilt truck that could do with a wash.

TMI... zzzzzz

On ya

The 225 slant 6 AND the old Valiant car are both almost direct imports from the USA. Certainly nothing unique about them, except for minor changes to suit AU conditions, Right Hand Drive, etc.

Oliver combines had them

@@donaldshidal851 so did forklifts. A guy I worked with many years ago drove combat river boats in Vietnam said the one he piloted had twin slants for power. He said it was fast.

They were in other Dodge cars, too, even Chargers

@@donaldshidal851 I recon you're American mate, what you call a combine harvester we call a header. They were like the Holden Red Motor. The red motor was in forklifts, concrete agitators and too many other uses to mention. Mind you they were both awesome donks. The "red" was huge in power boats or ski boats but I always wondered how the old slant would go in a boat. I think they would have been great.

In stock 170 to 225 it was very reliable . I owned them when I was a teenager and I thrashed them without any problems .

This hot rodded 270 hp Slant Six is more reasonable for hot rodding than a 600 hp Chevy LS, It wouldn't t overpower the chassis.

Thanks mate, I know you guys appreciate a bit of Mopar Muscle, glad you liked it.

As far as the slant six goes you are right but I couldn't get better that 15 mpg in a 65 dart. I had gotten a slant six convertible and a 318 wagon. The 318 got 17-18 mpg. Hell my ford 390 had better mpg. It was the only downside with them, worse mileage and horsepower.

​@@leitheparsons1186 That's not so good, is it. I guess back then, economical for an American car was 15-18mpg really. As compared to big V8 , something like 8-12mpg, right?

@@Joshualbm well I had a 64 galaxie with the 390 and on road trips, I could get 19 mpg. I know that sounds insane but that's what it got. I would take the slant six occasionally back and forth from Portland and Seattle and it would 15 mpg. Th hats when my interest faded on slate sixes

In Australia the other Chrysler Six the 265 ci Hemi was the top performance option , in the Aussie Chargers , the V8 s were second option ,

Awesome! Thank you! We love UTG too.

That's how I got here too. Nice stuff going on.

Great to have you here! Thanks for your kind words. I'm also a fan of UTG, he has some great content.

Which Break in Oil did you use?

I've always been wanting to see a slant six hit 300 horsepower, but they never seem to be able to hit that Mark without a turbo.

@@danr9584 Turismo Carretera did pass the 300hp mark back in the 80s. It was the norm. An slant six actually managed to go 195 mph

​@@danr9584 the aus 265 six had over 300hp factory back in the 70s

@@Toxic2T and with only one double barrel Weber

I totally agree V8's and strait 6's and slant 6's are my favorites

Dude i bought my first mopar with a 225 and holy fuck are they fun and reliable engines, definitely a mopar dude for life now

I had a '71 Duster with a 225 slant 6 and a 727. It was a beater overall, but man was it reliable, and generally easy-peasy to work on. Like to have another (nicer) one, whether with a 225 or a V8.

Had a 1965 shortbed Dodge with one of these in it. Wish I could have done something like this to that engine - less drastic cam, maybe, and smaller carbs…

Me, I wanna know the general consensus on this

Had a 1964 in 1964 and it would beat a 6 cylinder Mustang lite to lite downtown...225ci 3 speed stick on column. plane Jane not even a radio.

You should look up what in Argentina we do with straight sixes from Dodge, Ford, Chevrolet, and the Cherokee 4.0 from the Jeep. Imagine hearing a 60s nova or Falcon screaming at 8k rpm from a straight 6

This is in Argentina, the straight six for us is like the V8 for the Americans. Just look at this, from the 9 minute mark. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o9OcjMqHpt_cYac.html 305hp at 7600 rpm

Nice mate

What kind of mileage did u get

@@redlight3932 about 13l/100km with an Edelbrock 650cfm 4-bbl carburettor. It went down to 10-11 with fuel-injection.

I wish Chrysler had built a smaller coupe the size of the BMW E30 and improved the slant six to be more than just an economy motor.

It helps to wipe the headers - today a fuel injector system wouldn't hurt.

@@mrnobody8540 @Glenn Everitt Wrap the headers. :) Cliford Research sold a tin plate that went under the Webers and header back in the 1970's.

@@davej3487 sure it didn't have a sheet of asbestos in it too? 🤣

Intakes are ceramic coated, so I'm sure that helps

I bought a 318 Aspen wagon in 88 to tour the states, slept in the back. Greeting from Australia 🇦🇺.

Thanks so much mate, glad to have you here. 👍

Sounds interesting on the Chevy small block. Cross Ram worked the best? I’m trying to figure out hot to cheaply add power and efficiency to my 305, and no, not really interested in a 350, lol

I am currently working on that right now on a 302 in my mustang. I have lots of Webbers kicking about from my many years of building Datsuns. How I wound up with a 67 Mustang convertible is is a whole other story.

@@donziperk Webers would be beautiful on a 302......I've thought about putting some on my 302 Bronco for a long time. If you are considering the same you could more easily find a down draft manifold than a side draft. I just got lucky back in the day to find the cross-ram set-up. You could also put Del Ortos on such a manifold as they are basically an improved and less expensive Weber. You could use the Webers or Del Ortos and change the chokes(venturis) to get the size for air flow correct and then mess with the jet stack until you get them where you want the carb to perform. The beauty of either carb is that you can pull the jet stack(mains, idle, emulsion tubes, etc all in one easy turn of the wrench. There are several companies that sell the entire set-up for a king's ransom and they come pretty close to right on the button for mixture control. Good luck and Keep the Faith, Tom P.S. They still make the Shelby Weber intake and IDAs or IDFs...I forget which carb works better. Summit Racing sells the entire set up for about $2500 and you would barely have to get your hands dirty. It is fuel injection that looks like Webers.......Part #: 1-148-011 for 260, 289, 302 for Fords. Just hook up to your computer and go for a drive to tune 'em up.

@@tomnekuda3818 I’ve tuned Dellortos Webers and Mikuni Solex most of my life life and I love them. Yes IDAs would be nice but I’m trying to keep the height profile low. I might even consider a Jim Inglese 8 stack system. But for now I’m going to try to use what I have. As far as jetting and choke selection I have a fairly large collection so It just a matter of getting the manifold and designing a good linkage system. The driveability will be great and the sound will be music to the ears. That slant six sure sounded nice. Always liked those engines.

@@donziperk Inglese stuff is great but it takes $ to buy......sounds like you are pretty well set up. Good luck and keep the faith. Tom

Pacemaker make a great product but they aren't designed with sufficient clearance with this type of carburation.

For 40 years the inline six was the mainstream American motor. They provided exceptional smoothness and usable torque at an economical cost. And so easy to maintain.

No reason to open a slant six. Nothing goes wrong inside.

They are bullet proof at stock output. We don't see many long term daily driver 250 hp slant sixes. I think the camshaft oil pump gear is a potential issue at high output. I'd be super happy with 180 hp in mine.

Utg sends me. And I loved! Awesome work, upside down guys! Cheers from Brazil!

@robwhite240z, it'd most likely make 300hp with pipes.
