At this point you guys should really build the slant 6. There's a bunch of speed parts for them, and the prices of things like rods etc are pretty reasonable. The stock pistons in these engines can actually take a lot of boost. The top ring land is thick AF. Add some ring gap and throw a set of rods in it. Guarantee you guys can make 350hp/450tq at the wheels with a cam and valve spring upgrade and some more boost.
@@StayTunedTA Please consider it! That would be way more interesting and entertaining than a V8 swap. Also, pre 76' slant 6 cranks are forged, so no worries there either
They definitely hit the peak of what they could do with the slanty boosted its breathing pretty hard to make maybe 220 horsepower lol barb said 5000 pounds that’s a pipe dream the thing maybe weighs 4000 pounds with both guys in it it’s just a small displacement motor giving all shes got. I’d call it a win if you guys did this with a 292 Chevy or a 300 ford you would definitely have had more monstrous power but that little 6 banger is beating it’s heart out and it’s pumped out some great content. Deserves a build. Call up Steve dulcich he’ll know how to get some good numbers out of it (probably head work)
@theeoddments960 They definitely haven't hit the peak of what they can do with that engine... There's Bonneville guys who spin these things to 7500rpm and make north of 500hp. The thing is bone stock other than the turbo. Of course it's breathing hard to make 220..
More Mortsky repair who has a TH-cam channel & has been on it for many years came up with this & has T shirts you can buy plus other stuff he sells on his TH-cam channel. He mainly buys old cars trucks that have been sitting for many years and tries to get them up and running & he keeps the ones he like & sells the others off to keep his shop open and to be able to buy more cars and to keep pushing out TH-cam content. He has a springer spaniel dog he named Duff and the dog loves to riding in these cars trucks he buys to a point that he cant say go for a ( r i d e) because the dog knows what that means & he gets excited . He was recently building a SBC with a blower on it to put in one of his old cars that came out of a ex drag car but found out it had damaged pistons from something it sucked in through the blower before he bought the car but very little damage was done to the rotors inside of the blower once taken apart but haven't seen him lately working in the engine .
Until you get a real transmission jack, you can do the old school trick of getting two long bolts to fit the bellhousing (4-6 inches, longer is better) with only about the first inch threaded. Cut the head off the bolt and taper the ends so it aligns with the transmission holes easier. If you want to get fancy, you can cut a screwdriver slot into the end. Use them as guide pins to put the transmission on. It will even make it easier to align the input shaft in through the clutch plates and into the pilot bushing without having to muscle the transmission into place at the same time. Thread in the two of the transmission bolts and tighten down. Then you can remove the guide pins and put in the remaining two transmission bolts. You can do this with automatic transmissions also, just use shorter bolts.
Don't forget Dirthead Shed! I'm a little surprised Finnegan doesn't drop on Friday's as opposed to Sunday mornings 🤔 Are these guys the Four Horsemen of Weekend TH-camrs??? 🤣
The third generation A70 Supra (non turbo) mfg from ‘86-93 ran 0-60 right about 8.0 seconds. You are right on the heels of a very popular sports car of that era.
The genuiness of this program just astounds me - there are five others that I am familiar with (y'all know who they are) in the same real world vein, but Stay Tuned is definitely in the rare air and the rest are just so much tripe! Stay honest and thirsty my friends.
I would recommend hooking up the pcv valve, It would help with the oil in the catch can and would help with preformance. I ran my slant without one for 2 years and when I finally hooked it up it made a huge difference with oil consumption and power and made the engine a whole lot healthier. Could just hook it up to the piping under the carb if the doesn’t have a pcv port
They had one of these trucks with the 318 at my first job 25 years ago. Everyone flogged it mercilessly and it just kept going, tough little truck. This build definitely had the nostalgia factor kicked up for me, great job guys!
The problem with negative pressure on the compressor side is that the oil pulled through the seals is going to go in the charge air with the fuel. Oil in your fuel charge massively lowers the octane rating. That plus boost means it’ll ping its head off possibly literally. Check your plugs and think about seeing how cheap that seal the VW tragics is to do. I wanna see this thing go faster so it’s gotta stay healthy!
A rough rule of thumb is that you can approximate the mixing octane rating of oil as 0. So if the fuel consumption:oil consumption ratio is 9:1, you would lose about 10% of your fuel octane. 100 octane race fuel would drop to about 90 octane, for example.
I second the windshield urethane, same trick Gose with engine or suspension bushing you want more out of but don't want to step up to urethane or solid. Smooth on (good videos on there channel, recommend ) make a poorable urethane in different hardness as well if you want to make you own or do something like cut down an air cleaner for something hard to get and re poor/pot the end again( done it to round style that the diameter was right but were too long for a old Alfa Romeo Juliet) Hope this helps someone
This is the type of stuff I love. Don’t get me wrong the 1000hp+ builds are cool and all but I really relate with just a couple of dudes trying to make an old pile faster and just enjoying it for what it is.
Hey Tony, I just got done re-watching one of my favorite episodes of Roadkill, the one where you and Finnegan ran Drag Week. I'd always liked you, but that episode was where I became a Tony Angelo fan for life. The way you crawled under that car, manhandled that transmission, rebuilt it on a card table and jammed it back in there is one of the most legit things I've ever seen. In the interview at the end of the show, Finnegan said he couldn't have won it without you, and he was right. Your calm positive presence kept him from getting worked up when things went wrong. You couldn't ask for a better crew chief! With over 300K subscribers, it sure looks like your gamble with Stay Tuned is working out, and I'm really glad it is. Now if you'd just reveal what show "We're gonna lose the shop!" is about!
This and the Lincoln are definitely my favorite Stay Tuned builds. I really want to see the Lincoln dialed it at the track and maybe redo the budget hot side to flow better as that has a lot of potential.
Barb just a tip to strengthen and rebuild mounts get some alcohol or acetone and brush the old mount let dry now get some black tape and run it around the rubber part now put some silicon and fill up every cavity and if need be slide some long nails into it for a more rigged mount. Great show guys you never disappoint.
thanks as always guys for keeping the cameras rolling. when Barb said "Madone" just all natural. i felt like i was back at my grandparents house with Family for the holidays.
I can't wait for the episode of Stay Tuned that starts off with the comment about the turbo compressor seal played at half speed a few times which then cuts to Tony looking like a guilty labrador retriever. Fun times ahead!
Back in my 'ute, we saw a few slants glowing that were bricked into a tree, that ran outta gas, instead of blowing... In the late 70's a guy that ran at US131 drag way had a 62 Valiant that was turning 11's with a slant. Learned a few tricks, but most were in the "Direct Connection" catalog. Bought a 2 bbl intake from him for $65, ported the head & ran great for a 6, lol. Love what y'all have started for Barb, can't wait to see what else ya tune-up! Thanx !
This was a great episode, LMAO when Barb dropped the F bomb any Tony's response 🤣. Hey Tony, I thought my 86 GTI was a rocketship also, very fun car. ✌️
To get around issues with the turbo's dynamic seal, you fit a throttle body to the manifold where the carb once mounted and connect it with either a cable or linkage to the carb..this then acts as a vacuum break and the turbo is no longer affected by the off throttle vacuum and will no longer leak oil...I like to use LS throttle bodies as they are the most available.
I wish I could send you guys an aluminum 2bbl or Clifford 4bbl intake for that slant and Holley Sniper EFI or some sort of TBI blowthrough, a cam, high flow exhaust manifold, electronic ignition and electronic wastegate so you could nerf the boost by gear and increase the boost and timing upstairs past the TQ spike to allow more peak power and increase the rpm range of the engine a bit. I bet it could handle 300-350whp if it was able to be tuned perfect with a few mods to help the baseline power. I suppose it's not worth it so much since a V8 swap is so easy at a certain point in comparison. A stroked out LA or B block does sort of just make more sense. If any Aussie viewers could send a Hemi 6 from down under that would be sick...nobody on YT in the USA has built one yet.
Turbo inline 300 fords are a bunch of fun . I love the slant 6 engines too. I had a 65 D100 stepside shortbed with a slant 6 and a 4 speed. I drove for 20 years and it literally never gave me a single problem. Just did semi regular maintenance. I put probably 5 - 8 k miles on it yearly. Ant it was 25 years old when I bought it
HellYeah Boys!! When’s this truck getting a set of Mickey Thompsons? Didn’t see anything this cool at Mecum today. Beer and a Slice Time! Ready to Stay Tuned 🤘🤘🔥🔥
Some of the issues with drawing oil in to the combustion chamber is it lowers the octane of the fuel and can raise compression due to having liquid rather than vapor in the chamber.
Awesome what you did with little money and ingenuity. After telling my son about the truck he said lets see what our 1966 Valiant, 170 cu slant six, automatic, Offenhauser intake, Fast fuel injection and totally stock engine can do zero to sixty, it did 11.3 and we thought that to be great for what it is and your truck is obviously much heavier. We built the Valiant just to be a daily driver. Greatly enjoy your content.
Dudes that’s awesome! if you don’t wanna kill the local bug population the vw guys don’t always run carbon seals just get some step gapped shaft seals for the turbine shaft and run an oil restrictor fitting in the feed line the vw guys normally say .060” restrictor is a good starting point so your not pushing “as much” oil into the intake. No expensive turbo just rebuild what you got on the cheap and keep it ROCKIN!
Barb dude she’s a ripper! Tony y’all are really making it tempting for me to turbo my slant six valiant! Barb thanks again for the info and convo on instagram today. You guys are the best! Keep the content coming!
I bought a pair of brunt marins, after a couple months of abusing them, the sole started the peel in a few spots, and I was past my 30 day return period but brunt made it right and sent me another pair, great company
At minimum, you need to clean up the ports and intake. What you are getting now is within the ballpark of Naturally Aspirated with head and intake work, a 4 barrel, headers and a purple cam. Clean up the restrictions so the turbo can really do its job. And while you're at it, oil scavenging at the crank, something to keep the oil in the pan, and an upgraded pump will go a long way toward keeping the leaning tower of power alive. I don't remember if you've done this, but an electric fuel pump instead of the stock mechanical will make sure she stays running. Stock pump can be overwhelmed when filling more than a single or double barrel. There was, back near the turn of the century, an article by Dulchic detailing what they did with the slanty to make it scream. Offy intake, Clifford research headers, 500 CFM 4 barrel, head work and a cam. If you can find it, it will point you along a good path. Uncle Tony's Garage has a bunch of vids detailing his fun with the 225 as a drag unit. Oh, and Power Nation has one too. And I know your pain with the bellhousing bolts. Try doing all that with a 904 in a driveway up on wood blocks in a '72 Dart. By yourself. Yeah, fun stuff.
Put a set of 4.10s out back if it's got a standard mopar drop out pumpkin and watch it go a second quicker 0-60. Yeah y'all had alot of fun with this and we had alot of fun watching!
coupla things i noticed during these vids/commenting at around the 17 min mark,so i havent watched the whole vid yet. the flywheel you picked was a Great choice,its less rotational mass and spins faster. the Intake you are using is actually the 1 barrel intake !! Restrictive ! check out the 225 Super slant six for the Bigger 2bbl intake/OR bore that 1bbl intake opening as wide as you can get it and reweld the pipe onto a new flange. the Trans case there,the main body is that an Alum body or cast? if alum Swap it asap,they Will frag and grenade themselves esp considering the new power levels. you could also thereotically swap in a Regular 4 speed 833,depending on what Barb wants this truck to do when its finished. ps,these slant six motors use a Nylon Gear on the Distributor
This has been such a cool, fun build. How great is it when you spend very little money and get awesome results?! You guys took a truck that was a complete slug and actually made it something that was fun to drive. Can’t beat that!
The video is easier to watch if you fast forward through the ads and music, lol Those are great trucks, I have a few, a 225, a 318, and a 360. Those OD 4spds are tough as nails, the only downside is the gap between 3rd and 4th. My '81 shortbed stepside is lowered and has modified geometry with the Van lower control arms and a Jeep TJ tierod flip kit to eliminate most of the bumpsteer and camber gain. You can make those trucks handle so much better with that and some stock anti sway bars. I've been creeping ever closer to turboing the Slant in my truck, after watching the last episode I just ordered the turbo and am going to make it whistle. Thanks for showing us old guys how to just jump in and make with the turbo scene
I used to have an 81 D100 slant 6 4 speed short bed. Bought it for $400 running and driving. Two tone brown and tan with a red bench seat. It was in great shape. Sold it maybe 15 years ago and I've kind of regretted it ever since.
I’m so glad y’all started this channel. I look forward to your uploads every week. Please never change. Hanging with the boys making things go fast. Keep rocking my dudes. 🤘
The Mr. cool mini split is a great air conditioning heating system. I got to DIY model for my cottage and it works absolutely great for the last two years so far.
Thanks for keeping it real and building stuff average person can afford. Also, I want dips on that kit if you decide to let it go. It would be sweet on my 1980 Power Wagon my uncle gave me years ago. He put a Super Six manifold on it in the late 80s!
Hello sir. I just got started on an 83 dodge ram stepside. Please make more content relating to this very truck with the slant. Iya my first project with a carbureted motor. Im loving the channel and you are pulling on my heart strings. Buying you guys pizza from cowabunga pies!!!
Man, I grew up in Alabama and still live here. Not much difference in what gear heads do. Glad to see you having fun. WE'RE GOING TO LOOSE THE SHOP is so funny. Keep the sketch up to eleven or 11. Show your kids sometime. I have grandkids and you were talking about being with them and you made the best choice. Actually, you didn't have a choice.
When i went off to college I got a 78 Dodge Aspen with that probably that same combo. Slant 6 with a 4 speed (3+OD). The rest of the car feel apart around it, but the engine and trans were still good when I gave it to the junkyard. Had somewhere north of 300k.
If I can add my two cents, when the clutch is giving you difficulties installing the transmission and you have a separate housing like you do, you can use a prybar against the clutch fork and that gives The some room to slide around and the transmission pop right in especially with three guys
At this point you guys should really build the slant 6. There's a bunch of speed parts for them, and the prices of things like rods etc are pretty reasonable. The stock pistons in these engines can actually take a lot of boost. The top ring land is thick AF. Add some ring gap and throw a set of rods in it. Guarantee you guys can make 350hp/450tq at the wheels with a cam and valve spring upgrade and some more boost.
That would be WILD!
@@StayTunedTA Please consider it! That would be way more interesting and entertaining than a V8 swap. Also, pre 76' slant 6 cranks are forged, so no worries there either

Until you get a real transmission jack, you can do the old school trick of getting two long bolts to fit the bellhousing (4-6 inches, longer is better) with only about the first inch threaded.

In the late 70’s, I bought a brand new Comp Plus shifter. It came with sticker that said “Shift as hard as you can, just don’t break you’re arm.”

The hot ticket on the trans mount if you have the time is to fill the cavities in the rubber with RTV and let it cure - really beefs it up.
Hot ticket ACCEPTED!

We need more of this project !!!
Awesome what you did with little money and ingenuity. After telling my son about the truck he said lets see what our 1966 Valiant, 170 cu slant six, automatic, Offenhauser intake, Fast fuel injection and totally stock engine can do zero to sixty, it did 11.3 and we thought that to be great for what it is and your truck is obviously much heavier. We built the Valiant just to be a daily driver. Greatly enjoy your content.
That's pretty good! They are great little motors.
Dudes that’s awesome! if you don’t wanna kill the local bug population the vw guys don’t always run carbon seals just get some step gapped shaft seals for the turbine shaft and run an oil restrictor fitting in the feed line the vw guys normally say .060” restrictor is a good starting point so your not pushing “as much” oil into the intake. No expensive turbo just rebuild what you got on the cheap and keep it ROCKIN!
Barb dude she’s a ripper! Tony y’all are really making it tempting for me to turbo my slant six valiant! Barb thanks again for the info and convo on instagram today. You guys are the best! Keep the content coming!
Damn, Barb is a monster in the shop! By the time it takes me to grab another tool he already has a complete transmission installed! 😲😁🤘
I'd say start working on a killer 6 cyl block for it yous guys! I love it just the way it is.
I bought a pair of brunt marins, after a couple months of abusing them, the sole started the peel in a few spots, and I was past my 30 day return period but brunt made it right and sent me another pair, great company
At minimum, you need to clean up the ports and intake. What you are getting now is within the ballpark of Naturally Aspirated with head and intake work, a 4 barrel, headers and a purple cam. Clean up the restrictions so the turbo can really do its job.
And while you're at it, oil scavenging at the crank, something to keep the oil in the pan, and an upgraded pump will go a long way toward keeping the leaning tower of power alive.
I don't remember if you've done this, but an electric fuel pump instead of the stock mechanical will make sure she stays running. Stock pump can be overwhelmed when filling more than a single or double barrel.
There was, back near the turn of the century, an article by Dulchic detailing what they did with the slanty to make it scream. Offy intake, Clifford research headers, 500 CFM 4 barrel, head work and a cam. If you can find it, it will point you along a good path. Uncle Tony's Garage has a bunch of vids detailing his fun with the 225 as a drag unit. Oh, and Power Nation has one too.
And I know your pain with the bellhousing bolts. Try doing all that with a 904 in a driveway up on wood blocks in a '72 Dart. By yourself. Yeah, fun stuff.
Such fun to watch, glad you are getting more sponsors!
Put a set of 4.10s out back if it's got a standard mopar drop out pumpkin and watch it go a second quicker 0-60.
Yeah y'all had alot of fun with this and we had alot of fun watching!
salivating at 13:00
coupla things i noticed during these vids/commenting at around the 17 min mark,so i havent watched the whole vid yet.
the flywheel you picked was a Great choice,its less rotational mass and spins faster.
the Intake you are using is actually the 1 barrel intake !! Restrictive !
check out the 225 Super slant six for the Bigger 2bbl intake/OR
bore that 1bbl intake opening as wide as you can get it and reweld the pipe onto a new flange.
the Trans case there,the main body is that an Alum body or cast?
if alum Swap it asap,they Will frag and grenade themselves esp considering the new power levels.
you could also thereotically swap in a Regular 4 speed 833,depending on what Barb wants this truck to do when its finished.
ps,these slant six motors use a Nylon Gear on the Distributor
Mexico is beautiful this time of year..........
As long as whatever you guys do has a turbo, I promise I’ll watch! You have my word!
This has been such a cool, fun build. How great is it when you spend very little money and get awesome results?! You guys took a truck that was a complete slug and actually made it something that was fun to drive. Can’t beat that!
The video is easier to watch if you fast forward through the ads and music, lol
Those are great trucks, I have a few, a 225, a 318, and a 360. Those OD 4spds are tough as nails, the only downside is the gap between 3rd and 4th. My '81 shortbed stepside is lowered and has modified geometry with the Van lower control arms and a Jeep TJ tierod flip kit to eliminate most of the bumpsteer and camber gain. You can make those trucks handle so much better with that and some stock anti sway bars. I've been creeping ever closer to turboing the Slant in my truck, after watching the last episode I just ordered the turbo and am going to make it whistle.
Thanks for showing us old guys how to just jump in and make with the turbo scene
I used to have an 81 D100 slant 6 4 speed short bed. Bought it for $400 running and driving. Two tone brown and tan with a red bench seat. It was in great shape. Sold it maybe 15 years ago and I've kind of regretted it ever since.
I’m so glad y’all started this channel. I look forward to your uploads every week. Please never change. Hanging with the boys making things go fast. Keep rocking my dudes. 🤘
Thank you so much!! Really appreciate it.
Great build guys. Fun to watch you celebrate your victory!
The Mr. cool mini split is a great air conditioning heating system. I got to DIY model for my cottage and it works absolutely great for the last two years so far.
Keepin’ that slant sixer alive! Keep on truckin’!
Hell yea, let's gooo!
Loving the show guys keep it up
The brunt's are my go to work boot for sure
Love ya Tony please never stop. Great content
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for keeping it real and building stuff average person can afford. Also, I want dips on that kit if you decide to let it go. It would be sweet on my 1980 Power Wagon my uncle gave me years ago. He put a Super Six manifold on it in the late 80s!
Been looking for a new work boot, so I just bought myself a pair of these Brunts! And I'll say it again, would LOVE to see this beast on Power Tour!!!
This is the best thing I've saw in the entire year. AMAZING work Tony & Team!!
Hello sir. I just got started on an 83 dodge ram stepside. Please make more content relating to this very truck with the slant.
Iya my first project with a carbureted motor. Im loving the channel and you are pulling on my heart strings. Buying you guys pizza from cowabunga pies!!!
Man, I grew up in Alabama and still live here. Not much difference in what gear heads do. Glad to see you having fun. WE'RE GOING TO LOOSE THE SHOP is so funny. Keep the sketch up to eleven or 11. Show your kids sometime. I have grandkids and you were talking about being with them and you made the best choice. Actually, you didn't have a choice.
Love this truck and love that you’re playing with it!!
Intercooler next?
I am always looking forward tonStay Tuned and Tom's Refurb on Fridays
That was in impressive burnout at the end. Can’t wait to see where else this one goes. It looks like a lot of fun.
42:37 Half tire smoke, half burning oil. All Fun.
When i went off to college I got a 78 Dodge Aspen with that probably that same combo. Slant 6 with a 4 speed (3+OD). The rest of the car feel apart around it, but the engine and trans were still good when I gave it to the junkyard. Had somewhere north of 300k.
Nice build on this one. Congratulations!!!!
Thanks for watching!
If I can add my two cents, when the clutch is giving you difficulties installing the transmission and you have a separate housing like you do, you can use a prybar against the clutch fork and that gives The some room to slide around and the transmission pop right in especially with three guys
Thanks for the tip!
