ADD is a blessing. No way could you hyper focus like you do without it. My son is gifted with it, works until it gets done with perfect focus, has always been mechanically oriented and hands on. We were told it would inhibit him when he was a little boy and his teacher demanded he be medicated. We resisted and encouraged any interest he developed. He turned out a fine young man who’s much valued by his employer.
I don't think it's ADD. Your an outloud thinker. A sign of high intelligence.🧐 We percieve the percise organization as a waste of time till just before the actual job. All good except for the insomnia. A free flow of ideas that someone can organize for you would help substantially. The informational flow was better in this video because you organized your thoughts based on listening to yourself in the first video. Just a thought from a guy who has the same problem. I've seen other examples in your past videos. Your brain is faster than your mouth. That's a compliment btw.🙏 Amazing amount of info.🤯 Love every minute of it. Thank you again professor. 🤗
One shouldn't make assumptions about a bloke one doesn't know based one one's own experience, it's a common lay mistake. Maybe he's spent a very long time being professionally diagnosed by a very good clinical psychologist with extensive broad experience of these things.
@@mickvonbornemann3824 Fair point. However not being a lay, I have seen the definitions of Add change and the effect of geniuses turned into zombies. But diagnosing a conditioned based on videos..truth.. Not really possible. But the cure sometimes it's worse than the disease. Your point is taken and recieved well.
ADD .... to some it may seem like a handicap but in reality, for the person with ADD, it can be what makes them great. Yes I have ADD and I am Chrysler girl....2010 Chrysler 300c SRT8. For someone without it, we seem like we are the most disorganized, easily distracted person that can never finish what we started and to some extent it is true....... but when we find something that interests you, a person with ADD usually excels in whatever is that "stimulates your brain" and will focus on the job at hand to the point that we can't let go until is not just finished but perfect.
I’m not even a mopar guy, but i love watching people who know what the hell they’re talking about and have the passion you do for the subject. Plus the engineering aspects are fascinating
That's that Tennessee rain. I hope it's that warm Tennessee rain. I've been to Tennessee. Drove through the Smoky Mountains. 1990, stopped at a Goodwill store. Bought a t-shirt that said Knoxville World's Fair 1982. Found a little dive bar across the freeway. Had a little food and a beer. Visited with the locals. They were nice people. You're doing a good job Tony. People like you just the way you are, just roll with it. Organized, but not contrived. Just say what you want. Speak right off the top of your head and your heart. You get to be you. You get to be liked for who you are. Finally.
Ahhh, the first ASMR Mopar channel. The rain, along with the advantages of turbos, stick conversions and distributor hold-downs, is very tingling and relaxing. :-)
The more technical you get, the more I enjoy your channel. My love for Mopar started with the slant 6 and 318. Be the 1st, no one has ever built a slant 6 and shown the video journey / proven the before and after. Back in 1991?, one of the Mopar rags mentioned angle milling the head. Based on your description of the cross flow head, this seems to make sense. From 1 former Nykr to another, keep it coming.
Good stuff. Nice to see someone who gets into what they are doing and talking about. You can tell when someone gives a damn about what they are doing. Good video, I enjoyed it. Thanks.
Wow! I would never have guessed that was a slanty. Or anything like it. Thanks for showing that not every drag car has to be over 400 cubic inches. I hope a lot of teenagers are watching your channel along with us old geezers. Maybe you'll encourage some of them to go back to old school hot rodding instead of building another Honda Civic just because that's what all of their buddies are doing. Different is cool! 😎
Hey Uncle Tony, good follow up video. There’s no ADD, you just get excited about what you’re doing. You’re just being you & that’s why we love watching your show apart from you sharing all that knowledge. Keep up the excellent work Cheers
This is why I love watching your videos man. Simple, really informative and interesting, and I love all kinds of cars. And, being a walker because I am afraid to drive means I get to enjoy every car without all the headaches. Also, loving the rain. Always enjoyed rain.
ProPerformanceNutrition.com the round holes actually don’t take away any integrity except maybe in the case of an accident, and if you see under the hood of that car, there is nothin but the shell of the front end there anyways. He’s counting pennies to get the car going faster, so I guess in a way, it does make a difference, just not enough for the average person to spend the time
Uncle Tony, My first car was a '67 Dart with the 225 Slant Six... Man I miss that thing... Anyway, I appreciate these two videos, as they've explained the bizarre pause when stomping on the accelerator. You've provided an amazing amount of education to this child of the '70s and '80s. I can't thank you enough, but hope that you and yours enjoy a fantastic success in all you do. Good Luck! Thanks for the end video, too... Brings back pleasant memories! Take care and God Bless!
I have been a Mopar fan since 1985 when I got my 1971 Challenger r/t . Cant wait to get my 83 miser pickup back down here to the ranch. The 225 in it is beyond tired and I am going to rebuild it. Thanks for the insight on the engine type. I have replaced many parts on it over the years (only wear items) and its been unstopable. From deep water crossings to stupid steep climbs on cattle ranch trails and Arizona heat that melts others it is reliable.
Probably won’t ever own a slant six dodge, as I’m a ford 4x4 lover, but I’m watching these videos anyways, the amount of knowledge is just amazing, I can tell you’ve spent you’re life living and breathing everything MOPAR
Thanks for the Slant Video. I am 58 and My Dad and Uncle Drove Dusters with slant 6's for over a Million miles back in the '60s to 70's driving back and forth to work. Changed tires, when cords were showing. lol.
Man, this guy’s knowledge is like an encyclopedia. He should be in the front of a college classroom teaching automotive history or teaching up-and-coming future technicians.
Thanks for the great inside look at the slant 6 engines! I had a 68 Dodge van with a slant 6 and later a 66 Barracuda. Now you are gonna have to do something similar for the smaller V8s like the 273. And don't stop there! This is interesting!
You are truly a gem, Tony. I would have been headed for higher ground and made the video in the garage with that deluge, but you soldered on soaking wet with nary a hiccup, or complaint. I remain a loyal Canadian fan.
Back in '70 my mom bought a new Dart with a slant six. It was your basic puddle jumper,light blue four door auto with power steering and vinyl interior. She paid $1995.00 for it. I purchased it from her in '85 when she "upgraded" to an airees K car with a/c. I gave her $750 for the Dart and still have it with 175k on the clock. The car was always garaged so body/interior is all straight and in real nice shape but the slant is kind of tired. After watching your vid's Tony they have been giving me inspiration to make a "sleeper" four door style! TYVM!
Brought a tear to my eye when I heard that motor. Reminds me of my friends doing push button tranny burnouts with their MOPARs behind the Two Guys Dept store after working the evening shift (everybody's after school job in NJ in the 70s)
Thank you for your videos on the slant six! My first car was a 1972 Duster with a 225 slant. That engine actually outlived the body of the car. I really respected that engine but got teased alot for not having a V8..but I loved it; so it's great to hear good things about that engine. Your knowledge is impressive and im enjoying your channel. Thank you very much.
I am really digging this channel and glad to know there are still a few hardcore, old school gearheads around who truly understand the craft. This is the best stuff I have ever heard on a Slant Six.
Uncle Tony won't let the rain prevent him from doing what he had planned to do. He did it marvelously without any distraction. That's dedication. This shows us what kind of person he is. I wish more people were like him. He's remarkable.
Ive never even driven a classic Mopar, and grew up in a GM family, but I really appreciate how well you explain the nuances and intricacies of these cars
Always good and informative... Fords and mopars have always been my favorites.. Had a old dodge pickup with a slant 6 in it.. Was a great truck.. My dad was a dodge guy.. Love the old school stuff.. Great work uncle tony!!
Love the Slant... My first car was a '73 Gold Duster, Snakeskin top, high-back buckets, floor console w/ slapstick auto, back seat folded down and the panel behind the seat dropped for.... hauling... long.... stuff, like a hatchback without the hatch.
American motors also did an aluminum block on their 196 straight six from 1961 through 1964. It also had a cast iron head. Back in the day a lot of European cars had a cast iron block with an aluminum head. Go figure! Neither Mopar or AMC told enough people that real coolant in the radiator was mandatory.
Thank you for all of the updates on the slant 6. I have been hoping someone would start racing some of these older more obscure engines so the young guys like me can learn some shit. I really appreciate all of the information.
Uncle Tony I really appreciate that you explain what and why of stuff , your mechanical knowledge and life experiences are priceless to a guy in his 40s and to the current generations not everything is plug and play there is a science behind it! thanks for sharing!
I have my great aunts 4 door 1965 valiant 100 with the super 225. 39,000 original miles. Needs a restoration, a buddy saw it and asked if i considered turbocharging it lol. It would be a nice sleeper.
Flashback back auto shop 1974 teams of 2, each got an engine on a stand our neighbor next to us had a 170 we had the 225! The instructor switched the pistons and rods on us and sat back and watched as we struggled to figure out what happened!!!??? Good Times!
I had a Dodge Swinger with a 302 back in '81 and I loved that car. After I sheared the oil plug on bad road and had an engine meltdown, I ended up with Maverick with a worked 225 and man that car could move. It got scary sometimes. Thanks for the great videos, Tony!
@@UncleTonysGarage Yeah, maybe. The swinger had a V8 in it. The Maverick had the mid-level 6. It was a long time ago. I wasn't complaining about the performance then, that's for sure. I'm a novice when it comes to the numbers vs. manufacturers. But I sure dig your channel.
Love the slant 6 ever sense me & my cousin use to try to blow 60's Valiant up as teenagers back in the early 70's - Never could kill it running through hay field s & woods - use it like Jeep w/ ply mud grips- Like to have one in an old pick up to putt around in oneday - Thanks for taking time to make videos especially like the oem stock stuff!
Really eye opening these segments about the S6. I remember driving them and when I learned whenever it happened to be a slant 6, first thought (And experience) is ya. A good old reliable and smooth sewing machine. But it’s not. Well not just that. As you have elucidated thoroughly with these segments . And Glad you did. Because I have a new appreciation and understanding for them. Cheers.
Wonderful info. Im glad you discussed the power adders too. Turbo with a nedium shot of no2 to launch then a smaller stage as the intercooler. But as you discussed the nitro in other videos the slant might just really work.
Been a bug guy for years. Just got into slants. The last slant video was very helpful. The one about vapor lock was helpful also. Thanks so much for what you're doing.
ADD?! You sure? From my own experience, I think it's more a product of high school in the 70's!! Thanks for the /6 info Unka Tony! I'll be watching for those builds.....
I was 1st licensed in 1960 at 15 years of age. that year I built my first car. my grandfather on the farm gave me his badly rusted 48 chevy 2 door style master. I put a 56 chevy v8 bored an 8th of an inch with 283 pistons. solid lifter cam valve springs for the Fuel injection motor.4 barrel carter wcfb 3 speed non synchro low trans. hurst syncrolock shifter. 50 olds rear end 3.41(or something like that it was free). reversed some ponticac rims and made spring purchases. used the 8 leaf rear springs out or a 38 master deluxe(free) made my own spring purchases, dual exhaust, drive shaft(balanced it my self). we farm kids had some tools and lots of junk but no money to speak of. how fast was it. My best friend had a beautiful 57 olds super 88 2 door hardtop with the 371 4 barrel. we raced at night on deserted farm land 2 lane for s good mile. told my friend Don all you will see Is my tail lights. And that is all he saw. I got the that car with the 600-16 rayon 4 ply front tires up to a real 120. the whole thing caused him to sell the olds mobile and buy a worthless plastic car(his son survives him and has the beautiful 58 corvette). getting around to you. I want you to know I am not clueless and I have learned MORE from your 2 videos about the slant 6 than in my 74 years of living. never owned one but still its a fascinating subject. thanks for your video.
@@sgt.lincolnosiris4111 you must be the resident dumb ass libtard. nothing useful to say just slinging lies (like all liberals). no one makes a fool of you
Awesome insight. We are looking to flat track my 77 super6 4 speed OD Volare coupe at Millville New Jersey's Motorsports Park. Car is un molested under the hood. Manual steering, but has power brakes and working R12 Airconditioning. Just have a single 2 inch glasspack and turndown. Going to swap out the big starter for a 90's magnum one. Talk about ADD, we might be brothers from another mother. Again great insight. Thanks again
I'm not a big fan of the hot rod thing but I have always liked the slant six so I checked it out. Your knowledge and insight into the internal combustion engine is interesting to listen to. Thanks for these interesting, informative videos.
Here's some interesting trivia: The 1976 Dart Lite had a 2 1/2" exhaust system from the manifold back. I don't think it was for performance, personally think they were trying to keep the aluminum 1bbl intake cooler by having a less restrictive exhaust. I have a 76 Dart Lite with the aluminum hood and trunk bracing, and aluminum 833 overdrive 4 speed.
I had a 225 c.i. Slant Six in my first car in 1974, a two door Dodge Dart. I loved that car, and it's rugged six cylinder power plant...a real torquer. I used to dream of finding a 413 c.i. engine in a wrecking yard, and installing it in my Dodge Dart. The Dart with that engine and the "413 Wedge Package" was the FASTEST car in 1962. Uncle Tony, if you could give your THREE BEST attributes to a 225 c.i. Slant Six engine, please. You know that motor like nobody's business ! Thanks. Great video, as always.
I want to thank you for the videos. They are awesome it sure does make sense how the engine works now I've been working on cars underneath the shade tree for about 50 years. I used to buy dodges all the time and I had to slant six which I love but in 1975 I bought a Dodge pickup that fell apart in one year and the dealership just give me SHIT so from then on I never bought one vehicle. I got about three friends that talk about engines and working on so they're getting your videos
Sweet part 2! Some people may or may not know that these engines were also In Vermeer 1600A drum chippers. Rated at around 110hp. Think it was an 1985 ish model. Big.pulled behind a dump truck. My family had one when I was a kid for their tree business. The engine never had problems in that thing. It got ran super hard to Full Throttle and then just bog down to nothing with a giant branch..... maybe cough a little bit , but it always Reved right back up. Sounded pretty good screaming WOT on the chipper too. Never forget that sound.
Part Deux ? Clever...we once had a dog named Fido, his food bowl had the word Phydoux on it, that's how he knew it was his. Great channel, love the content !!
Thanks for your videos. I'm a 69 yo disabled vet. Your answer on why you left new york made a deep impression on me. I was born and raised in Chicago. It took me this long to figuer it out. Thanks to to your simple sentence, it's not the town I knew. Second , focus on your interest or hobby . Thanks.
Hi Tony!!! i love your channel. i used to read a lot of old car magazines in the 80s-90s. i remember an article about a guy who was dragging a slant 6 and getting mid 11s!!! with nitrous of course. i believe that the slant also had a brief run as a "chrysler marine" inboard-outboard motor in the late 60s / early 70s era. i think 225s only got the marine duty
ADHD (they don't separate it from ADD anymore) actually correlates with intelligence! The mind works faster than your mouth. Also, ADHD can actually be a huge positive because it allows people to hyperfocus on subjects that they love. You probably do have adult ADHD, but at this point you've adapted and excelled. I'll say that if you didn't take up a career that you loved, you'd be screwed. Your passion and excitement is more infectious than coronavirus!
This video reminded me of discussions I overheard from my motor-head friends (mid to late 70's). An expression we had; "Enough is not enough, too much is Just right" ;-)
Good video and your lightweight dart goes awesome as I said in he previous part one video ther was a alteredcar with a slant 6 and I believe he was going low 11 I believe it was that or less I remember it was all the talk at the track at least with the mopar boys awesome video I didn’t think anyone welded spider gears anymore hmm awesome video now you got a cold go in the house and warm up keep em comming
The burn out at the end of the video brought back a lot of memories. Pissing off the neighbors then having to park it up somewhere cuz the cops would come cruising, LOL.
I've owned 2 Dusters (70, 71) and a Demon in the same range (can't recall specifically) with the slant 6. One of the best engines ever built for durability and dependability. Also loved the 318 my dad had in his '69 Satellite and I had a '68 340 Dart. I miss real 'Dodge Brothers' cars.
ADD is a blessing. No way could you hyper focus like you do without it. My son is gifted with it, works until it gets done with perfect focus, has always been mechanically oriented and hands on. We were told it would inhibit him when he was a little boy and his teacher demanded he be medicated. We resisted and encouraged any interest he developed.

The rains Come but That Great Uncle Tony Trudged On Through The Entire Episode In The RAIN👍What A Guy Huh
I'm so glad you made the slant 6 videos! Thanks a million for it!
Ahhh, the first ASMR Mopar channel. The rain, along with the advantages of turbos, stick conversions and distributor hold-downs, is very tingling and relaxing. :-)
God loves Mopar six's . . he is showering Tony with his blessings
Uncle Tony’s “Faucet of Slant 6 Knowledge” was turned on full both figuratively and literally!!
Part one was great. Made me go outside and hug may 68 Dodge D100 short bed “Sport Truck”. 225 - three on the tree.
Anyone else getting sleepy listening to this brilliance combined with the peaceful rain lol great video big thumbs up👍👍👍
Yes, no disrespect to Tony though. The dude is a stud rain or shine.
thanks from Australia always loved the slant 6. 62 r 62 s ap5 torqueflites are unbreakable transmissions too .

From 1 former Nykr to another, keep it coming.
Uncle Tony demonstrates how to multitask, tech talk, wash the car and take a shower. Another female theory disproved. Thumbs up man.
You are really motivating me to get the old 64 Dart out of my dad's barn and get it on the road.
Heck yeah! Do it up.
I bought a,1964 dart 170 2 door for my youngest sons 1st car .slant 6 3 on tree 42 thousand original miles 1 small rust spot

Don’t worry about the ADD Tony, you are doing fine. I used to hunt for my keys, now I hunt for my garage. 👍☮️
Me too!
Let me guess, you found the keys in your hand after spending the best part of 10 minutes looking for them? *Been there, done that*

You gotta get over that fear! Wish I could help ya
Sweet Dart the lightening holes look really cool .
How much weight do you think that saved? Is drilling holes worth it? Think the frame would just flex more?

I've learned more from these videos than I did from my internship at the WPC Museum! Such a great page! Really makes me want to build a slant now!
These slant six videos are great! I have been driving Valiants since I was 15! Love these motors!
I have been a Mopar fan since 1985 when I got my 1971 Challenger r/t . Cant wait to get my 83 miser pickup back down here to the ranch. The 225 in it is beyond tired and I am going to rebuild it.

Man, this guy’s knowledge is like an encyclopedia. He should be in the front of a college classroom teaching automotive history or teaching up-and-coming future technicians.
It isn't just about the Slant Six - you're great for a listen.
In part one I was impressed with the way you explained engine geometry with the mailbox/firecracker analogy . I will probably use that later .
That was a fantastic analogy. He really knows what he’s talking about
Absolutely LOVE the /6, great video! You keep making 'em, I'll keep watching 'em!
Thanks for the great inside look at the slant 6 engines! I had a 68 Dodge van with a slant 6 and later a 66 Barracuda. Now you are gonna have to do something similar for the smaller V8s like the 273. And don't stop there! This is interesting!
I’ll also add that that dart sounds amazing! I’ve really grown to love the sound of an in-line 6. It’s got some real get up and go too
That hyper exhaust/exhuast manifold setup sounds like it's a real looker. Mopar definitely knows how to add a little eye candy under the hood.
I found these slant 6 videos very interesting. I always appreciated the less popular underdog engines.
You are truly a gem, Tony. I would have been headed for higher ground and made the video in the garage with that deluge, but you soldered on soaking wet with nary a hiccup, or complaint. I remain a loyal Canadian fan.

You got to love a man who sits in the pouring rain talking about the Slant 6. Why did TH-cam take so long to recommend this channel to me?
Love the Slant... My first car was a '73 Gold Duster, Snakeskin top, high-back buckets, floor console w/ slapstick auto, back seat folded down and the panel behind the seat dropped for.... hauling... long.... stuff, like a hatchback without the hatch.

Thank you for all of the updates on the slant 6. I have been hoping someone would start racing some of these older more obscure engines so the young guys like me can learn some shit. I really appreciate all of the information.
Uncle Tony I really appreciate that you explain what and why of stuff , your mechanical knowledge and life experiences are priceless to a guy in his 40s and to the current generations not everything is plug and play there is a science behind it! thanks for sharing!
Uncle Tony has the Facts and you gotta love learning all the things he can teach you.
That Dart has a rumble that turns into a wail in an instant, it sounds evil AND hungry!
I was thinking about the Torqustorm for my ‘65 Signet. I’m glad that I tuned in. It saved me a ton of money and headache. Thanks UT!
I have my great aunts 4 door 1965 valiant 100 with the super 225. 39,000 original miles. Needs a restoration, a buddy saw it and asked if i considered turbocharging it lol.
It would be a nice sleeper.
I keep thinking about turbocharging my /6 gold duster. After Tony said it's a good choice, I'm definitely doing it.
Turbo is always da weh.
No parasitic loss, huge gains, sip gas when you wanna/ need to.
Don't have a single thing mopar right now but still watch these videos.
Flashback back auto shop 1974 teams of 2, each got an engine on a stand our neighbor next to us had a 170 we had the 225! The instructor switched the pistons and rods on us and sat back and watched as we struggled to figure out what happened!!!??? Good Times!
PERFESSOR TONY LEARNS US UP GOOD!!
Gettin learned is fun
The grit desire and passion that you have for mopar really shows in this video...rain rain go away... or don't cause uncle Tony gives zero F@*KS
I had a Dodge Swinger with a 302 back in '81 and I loved that car. After I sheared the oil plug on bad road and had an engine meltdown, I ended up with Maverick with a worked 225 and man that car could move. It got scary sometimes. Thanks for the great videos, Tony!
I think you got your cars/engines mixed up
@@UncleTonysGarage Yeah, maybe. The swinger had a V8 in it. The Maverick had the mid-level 6. It was a long time ago. I wasn't complaining about the performance then, that's for sure. I'm a novice when it comes to the numbers vs. manufacturers. But I sure dig your channel.
The list is a great idea, keep up the videos their grrrrrreat
Love the slant 6 ever sense me & my cousin use to try to blow 60's Valiant up as teenagers back in the early 70's - Never could kill it running through hay field s & woods - use it like Jeep w/ ply mud grips- Like to have one in an old pick up to putt around in oneday - Thanks for taking time to make videos especially like the oem stock stuff!
Ain't nobody cooler than Uncle Tony.
That sound .... between this Dart and the '68 Charger you are the King of exhaust!
Really eye opening these segments about the S6. I remember driving them and when I learned whenever it happened to be a slant 6, first thought (And experience) is ya. A good old reliable and smooth sewing machine.
But it’s not. Well not just that.
As you have elucidated thoroughly with these segments . And Glad you did.
Because I have a new appreciation and understanding for them. Cheers.
Tony, you are a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for your time.
You deserve a big buget, you are the best info on TH-cam!
Wonderful info. Im glad you discussed the power adders too. Turbo with a nedium shot of no2 to launch then a smaller stage as the intercooler. But as you discussed the nitro in other videos the slant might just really work.
Been a bug guy for years. Just got into slants. The last slant video was very helpful. The one about vapor lock was helpful also. Thanks so much for what you're doing.
ADD?! You sure? From my own experience, I think it's more a product of high school in the 70's!!
Thanks for the /6 info Unka Tony! I'll be watching for those builds.....
Love the sound of that slant 🤓
I cant stop watching your videos, thank you Tony for sharing your knowlege with younger mopar guys like me!
I was 1st licensed in 1960 at 15 years of age. that year I built my first car. my grandfather on the farm gave me his badly rusted 48 chevy 2 door style master. I put a 56 chevy v8 bored an 8th of an inch with 283 pistons. solid lifter cam valve springs for the Fuel injection motor.4 barrel carter wcfb 3 speed non synchro low trans. hurst syncrolock shifter. 50 olds rear end 3.41(or something like that it was free). reversed some ponticac rims and made spring purchases. used the 8 leaf rear springs out or a 38 master deluxe(free) made my own spring purchases, dual exhaust, drive shaft(balanced it my self). we farm kids had some tools and lots of junk but no money to speak of. how fast was it. My best friend had a beautiful 57 olds super 88 2 door hardtop with the 371 4 barrel. we raced at night on deserted farm land 2 lane for s good mile. told my friend Don all you will see Is my tail lights. And that is all he saw. I got the that car with the 600-16 rayon 4 ply front tires up to a real 120. the whole thing caused him to sell the olds mobile and buy a worthless plastic car(his son survives him and has the beautiful 58 corvette). getting around to you. I want you to know I am not clueless and I have learned MORE from your 2 videos about the slant 6 than in my 74 years of living. never owned one but still its a fascinating subject. thanks for your video.
Youre not that old. Good job baiting a heart. Liar.
@@sgt.lincolnosiris4111 you must be the resident dumb ass libtard. nothing useful to say just slinging lies (like all liberals). no one makes a fool of you
@@sgt.lincolnosiris4111 Nothing fun ever happens, huh? Prick.
@@NebukedNezzer Really cool story, thanks for sharing!
You state twice you built your own spring "purchases".
*Perches* , dumbass.
Awesome insight. We are looking to flat track my 77 super6 4 speed OD Volare coupe at Millville New Jersey's Motorsports Park. Car is un molested under the hood. Manual steering, but has power brakes and working R12 Airconditioning. Just have a single 2 inch glasspack and turndown. Going to swap out the big starter for a 90's magnum one. Talk about ADD, we might be brothers from another mother. Again great insight. Thanks again
Jeez Uncle Tony you got me so caught up in your way of sharing your knowledge I thought it was raining here... love your work bloke!!!
Uncle Tony very informative I got to give you thumbs up for sticking it out there in the Rain Buddy you have a good night my friend take care
I'm not a big fan of the hot rod thing but I have always liked the slant six so I checked it out. Your knowledge and insight into the internal combustion engine is interesting to listen to. Thanks for these interesting, informative videos.
Here's some interesting trivia: The 1976 Dart Lite had a 2 1/2" exhaust system from the manifold back. I don't think it was for performance, personally think they were trying to keep the aluminum 1bbl intake cooler by having a less restrictive exhaust. I have a 76 Dart Lite with the aluminum hood and trunk bracing, and aluminum 833 overdrive 4 speed.
I had a 225 c.i. Slant Six in my first car in 1974, a two door Dodge Dart. I loved that car, and it's rugged six cylinder power plant...a real torquer. I used to dream of finding a 413 c.i. engine in a wrecking yard, and installing it in my Dodge Dart. The Dart with that engine and the "413 Wedge Package" was the FASTEST car in 1962. Uncle Tony, if you could give your THREE BEST attributes to a 225 c.i. Slant Six engine, please. You know that motor like nobody's business ! Thanks. Great video, as always.
I want to thank you for the videos. They are awesome it sure does make sense how the engine works now I've been working on cars underneath the shade tree for about 50 years. I used to buy dodges all the time and I had to slant six which I love but in 1975 I bought a Dodge pickup that fell apart in one year and the dealership just give me SHIT so from then on I never bought one vehicle. I got about three friends that talk about engines and working on so they're getting your videos
Sweet part 2! Some people may or may not know that these engines were also In Vermeer 1600A drum chippers. Rated at around 110hp. Think it was an 1985 ish model. Big.pulled behind a dump truck. My family had one when I was a kid for their tree business. The engine never had problems in that thing. It got ran super hard to Full Throttle and then just bog down to nothing with a giant branch..... maybe cough a little bit , but it always Reved right back up. Sounded pretty good screaming WOT on the chipper too. Never forget that sound.
Part Deux ? Clever...we once had a dog named Fido, his food bowl had the word Phydoux on it, that's how he knew it was his.
Great channel, love the content !!
Thanks for taking the time to make a video and explain to where most people understand,your videos kick ass man,keep up the good work
Lots of great infor. Have a 225 and looking for a project body. Your videos will help loads. Thanks
Thanks for your videos. I'm a 69 yo disabled vet. Your answer on why you left new york made a deep impression on me. I was born and raised in Chicago. It took me this long to figuer it out. Thanks to to your simple sentence, it's not the town I knew. Second , focus on your interest or hobby . Thanks.
Dude your knowledge of the slant 6 is amazing, everyone calls me crazy for wanting one. Keep up the good work! Great videos brother!
Nothing sounds as intimidating and nasty as a slant 6 with a single - straight thru exhaust. DANG ! SWEET !
Thank you for sharing...
well done Tony see you tomorrow
Hi Tony!!! i love your channel. i used to read a lot of old car magazines in the 80s-90s. i remember an article about a guy who was dragging a slant 6 and getting mid 11s!!! with nitrous of course. i believe that the slant also had a brief run as a "chrysler marine" inboard-outboard motor in the late 60s / early 70s era. i think 225s only got the marine duty
ADHD (they don't separate it from ADD anymore) actually correlates with intelligence! The mind works faster than your mouth. Also, ADHD can actually be a huge positive because it allows people to hyperfocus on subjects that they love. You probably do have adult ADHD, but at this point you've adapted and excelled. I'll say that if you didn't take up a career that you loved, you'd be screwed. Your passion and excitement is more infectious than coronavirus!
Super 225 Slant six, the leaning tower of power😆
Cheers from Australia Uncle Tony, love the shit ya doin. Long live the slant six.
This video reminded me of discussions I overheard from my motor-head friends (mid to late 70's).
An expression we had; "Enough is not enough, too much is Just right" ;-)
Eager to see how the slant 6 builds go thanks again
Good video and your lightweight dart goes awesome as I said in he previous part one video ther was a alteredcar with a slant 6 and I believe he was going low 11 I believe it was that or less I remember it was all the talk at the track at least with the mopar boys awesome video I didn’t think anyone welded spider gears anymore hmm awesome video now you got a cold go in the house and warm up keep em comming
The burn out at the end of the video brought back a lot of memories. Pissing off the neighbors then having to park it up somewhere cuz the cops would come cruising, LOL.
Cool burnout still have my old party van never new it could sound like that
Hey hi Tony,, I understand I'm 55 and I my self I have ADHD it is crazier than just ADD.. your doing a very good job thanks for the videos..
* you're
(Sorry, that's my OCD right there.)
I've owned 2 Dusters (70, 71) and a Demon in the same range (can't recall specifically) with the slant 6. One of the best engines ever built for durability and dependability. Also loved the 318 my dad had in his '69 Satellite and I had a '68 340 Dart. I miss real 'Dodge Brothers' cars.
