Somewhere, I've seen pictures of a Slant 6 T. I'll hunt around to see if I can find them again.
Personally, I think it will make for a really unique build. I've seen some Slant 6's that were simply abused and they just kept right on running. I don't know if even kryptonite can bring a Slant 6 down.

A slant six is the definition of tough and reliable. I had an old duster with a slant six that I ran into the ground, gave it to my oldest daughter as a first car, she used it for a year until the body was no longer safe, and then I pulled the motor and put it in a station-wagon for another guy and he used it for two years and sold it to a friend of his after that I lost track of it. A slant six will provide plenty of power for a tbucket, unless you are trying for a speed record.

ok, I'm sold! LOL. I got this drive line for a 100.00 and I heard it run before the removal. there is a video on youtube my brother sent me of a 4 door valiant turning 13's from a 255 with a cam, headers and head/intake work. I figure i'll save alot on the motor using the one I got and I do love being set apart from the rest. thanks for the input everyone!

What a great motor. We had them here in Chrysler Valiants made in Oztralia. Called the "Sloper" down here, they just run and run and run on them nickel iron bores. A six pack sounds good and different too.

Tex Smith used one in his XR6 roadster that he built and I think won Americas Most Beautiful Roadster with in the 60's. Really good motors, I had one in a Valiant and it was very quick for a straight 6. I used to wind it out in low and then punch the number 2 button and chirp the tires.

Brian,
Don't listen to these guys. Those are terrible engines. You just need to send it to me and I'll take care of it for you.
Have fun!

HAHAHA! my brother is real exited to see this in a T also. i'm getting shipping quotes for my body and I picked up the 2x3 for the frame yesterday. I have my eye on a few go fast goodies for the six. I really had no idea you could get good reliable horsepower from these motors but the more I look online i'm finding guys that are getting 250 plus ph and 18 mpg on the highways. I know that not massive numbers but I feel its enough to push a bucket down the road with power to spare.

hey thanks for that! I copied it and sent it to my brother also. he is a huge fan of the slant six and pretty much the one responsable for me incorperating one in my build. last saturday the topic came up at the local gathering of rods and the idea got a huge conversation going among all the mopar guys. I am still in the air with the body but my drive line is complete. 225 slant with a 727 and a 1992 S10 rear end with disk. I think it will make for a reliable ride overall.
