Wow that's cool, I remember the old slants back in the day. My friend's mother had this old Plymouth with that engine, my friend got the car stuck leaving a party one Saturday night, we were all pushing to gut the car unstuck he wasn't satisfied with are skills pushing so he got out of the car, he promptly fell down and hurt his neck. The next day he was walking with his head tilted, and my friend said "hey look it is slant six" from then on our buddies nick name was slant six.
What an awesome piece of engineering. I grew up with my Dad owning and driving a slant 6 Valiant. It never looked or sounded this good, but when he dropped down a gear on the highway to rapidly overtake another car, you always felt that deep insìde that long stroke engine there was a speed demon lurking underneath all that torque.
@frankparks4900 The Weber system is super sweet. Expensive and difficult to understand sometime but I enjoy the way they work. The engine will idle with the big cam and sounds great.
over the years I have come to appreciate all the engineering that goes into a 6 cly engine I had a chevy 292 in a pick up truck and it was strong and reliable never let me down
@@hyperpak2498 I'm sure you'll get it to go fast. On the other hand, a slant six in an old rusty Dodge Dart can have the oil and coolant drained and it would drive another 50,000 miles.
in Australia = we bored them to 245 ci and porting big time tougher springs - we just did 3 x 2inch SU carbys and headders - may be cam , still on 3 speed box bur sure grip LSD and - beating v8 cars ! - you have a great sounding motor and a neat looking ride thank you .
@carlhayes2299 Yes, me too. I was supposed to go to MOKAN Raceway last week, but the weather was very bad. Maybe this weekend. Thank you for watching and your comment.
It's great that you're taking the road less traveled. My last project was a Chevy pickup, I spent a long time looking for a buildable 292 six. Most I went to look at were not a 292 at all, despite the 292 looking very different than a 250. I finally gave up.
@warrenmintz5227 I think it would because the head could be built with better port design. The problem would be the 30 degree angle that the engine lays over. The distributor, oil pump/filter and fuel pump are on that side as well. Great question! Thanks for watching!
@@NotthatNeil Not that I know of, but it's a good question. It would take a lot of skill to combine the crankcase and make a couple of heads. Thanks for watching.

I know your project is headed for the drag strip most likely. However, I really love the way the these engines sound going through the gears and especially their sound when down shifting. So with some imagination I'd like to see this engine like you built put in a road racing Dart. Just saying.
@theophilhist6455 Yes it is in a 1972 Ex Pro Stock Colt. I enjoy the sound as well and you can hear it from a mile away. It has a pretty big cam, but the IR tones that down.

@shawnbottom4769 I had problems last year with the ROMAC balancer, so that is a rebuilt stock one driving an alternator. I have a Moroso water pump motor driving the stock water pump. It's not running in the video. V3 of the evolution will have a dry sump and a mag trigger. Thanks for watching!

I've always wondered if the Chrysler inline 6 would make more power if they ran the exhaust out the other side away from the intake.
