nobody really knows how far they'll go,people who have owned one rebuild them out of respect for their use,i used to replace the engines in the taxi service in our town of 1.5 million,yellow cab had over 115 dodges with this engine,most were just wore out ,never broken,loose timing chains and stuck oil pump relief valves, four bolt mains and rarely did I see one in the copper unless the idiot didn't change oil,they are superior design
In my mis spent youth I had a 225 bored .060, Janhns 12.5:1, Kay Sissell Cam, Sissell headers, a ton of port work, titanium retainers, large valves, Mallory ignition offy intake with a 500cfm holley two barrel. I had to go to Atlanta to buy 55 gallon drums of Sunoco 260 racing gas to run in the thing. Raced on a little 3/8 mile dirt track. That 4 1/4 inch stroke came off the corners like a rocket sled .had it set up with a home made direct drive setup using a dodge dart for a chassis with some Petty suspension parts. Ran against bone stock 283 chevies and 302 fords. After one year they changed the rules. There were 5 sixes racing against about 25 v8 powered cars. I did not win every night but I won my share and never finished worse than 5th. I spent the next 15 years banging around a bunch of tracks such as Pensacola, Montgomery and Birmingham driving all kinds of V8 fords and chevies but I never, ever had more fun than I did with the little slant six. Nobody and I mean NOBODY could believe that a slant six could run that fast. It was a Helluva lot of fun.
+terrylittlejohn Read a story about a Mopar Legend,forget who at moment, said within Chrysler, the high performance team was working on a setup with dual 4's , said it made great power, but rough idle. Interviewer asked if Legend maybe meant the Hyper Pack, Legend said Nope, was dual 4 setup. . .
What header/manifolds and what pipes and mufflers do you have I love the way this sounds… I have a 60 valiant with the 170 that’s in super charging and spraying and I need to know what exhaust you have your sounds great
@@terrylittlejohn goddam alr man thanks for the help I’ll see what I can do bc my car is smaller with the smaller motor so specs will be a lil different but the performance should come out to be about the same
thanks! new parts build is in the $5000 usd range, aussie performance make a blower intake that you can bolt a 144 or 177 B&M style blower to with a single 4bbl carb, the motor mods are just keep stock piston just open ring gap to 0.24".Port the head and back cut the valves , replace the cam with a good rv style 114 centerline .450" to .500" lift, with 340 style springs, stock head gasket will work up to 7psi boost, steel shim my be 10psi, over that and you want head studs and solid copper gasket and o-ring the block! hope that helps!
terrylittlejohn that's my preference. Currently running a Yates headed 14.5-1 compression 347 (4.125 bore 3.250 stroke-not your typical 347) that's making just under 900 at the flywheel at 10,200rpm....in a Ford ranger 😁 Edit- you're not doing not bad for a 6 👍
the bottom end will hold up the Brooklyn bridge. main bearings are a notch larger than the generously sized mopar big blocks. all made of tough stuff, too. just keep her full of good oil.
Well being 2019 my words have no meaning on this guy . In the early 60's Chrysler brought 3 Turbo darts to Europe to road race , placed 1,2,3 I think the factory setup can get you even more power.
it is a straight 6. they leaned the cylinders over to make rm, the water pump set in to the side, rather than the front, helped packaging into the A body especially, which was the primary platform for this miss. it's a robust and fairly long engine, the slant was needed.
@@terrylittlejohn Wow, sticking with the 904? That's a stout gearbox! I'd have figured you'd be running the 727 with as much power as you're likely getting.
The slant six is one of the finest engines ever conceived, perfect combination of bore, stroke, torque and horsepower. Great video!

that`s an awesome story, I have the same experience every time I hit the gas. thank for sharing.
I love your story and I feel the same way every time I drive my truck with that 225 slant six in it

Leaning Tower Of Power !!
Being underdog makes you really search for edges ?!.
Nice video Terry! Engine sounds great!
I grew up with these engines in old pickups and vans. Awesome vid!
..sounds like throwing a 1/2 dozen steel trashcans full of pissed off wildcats down a flight of stairs. Perfect!
best description ever! lol
This just won the internet, and its now 2021... HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I need not add to this gentleman‘s comment…..
I don’t think I could elaborate on the sound any better than this………..!😼
@dartman945 the best this day was a 11.52et at 115mph and it a 4-71 2x450 holleys on a 225 slantsix
8 years ago it would have taken anything that was brand new and beat it. Iv seen the 225 slant sixes go low 9s in the quarter.
Back in 71 my grandmother had a supercharged 6 Demon she drove to church. Said the front drums worked like hell.
Such a cool set up. Love cars like this.
thanks!
Right before it cranks up you can still hear that classic Chrysler starter.
Did ya move the power plant lil back??
Love that sound.
thanks!
The "Leaning Tower of Power" I love it!
I shift at 6000rpm and she see 6400rpm through the traps.
terrylittlejohn love it man .
What's it run in the quarter
What header/manifolds and what pipes and mufflers do you have I love the way this sounds… I have a 60 valiant with the 170 that’s in super charging and spraying and I need to know what exhaust you have your sounds great
@@MARSHIGGA it has open headers 32in long primary 3 into one with 18in collectors! with 14psi boost she pushing 13.5/1 compression!
@@terrylittlejohn goddam alr man thanks for the help I’ll see what I can do bc my car is smaller with the smaller motor so specs will be a lil different but the performance should come out to be about the same
Love it. Nice work Terry. Now to get the Dart up and running. 👍👍🤦♂️🤦♂️
Now, that's vintage Mopar, folks!
Are you able to estimate just how much it cost to build a supercharged Slant Six? Are the parts still widely available? LOVE YOUR MOTOR!!!
thanks! new parts build is in the $5000 usd range, aussie performance make a blower intake that you can bolt a 144 or 177 B&M style blower to with a single 4bbl carb, the motor mods are just keep stock piston just open ring gap to 0.24".Port the head and back cut the valves , replace the cam with a good rv style 114 centerline .450" to .500" lift, with 340 style springs, stock head gasket will work up to 7psi boost, steel shim my be 10psi, over that and you want head studs and solid copper gasket and o-ring the block! hope that helps!
high compression/race fuel/high rpm`s, is a blast too!!!
terrylittlejohn that's my preference. Currently running a Yates headed 14.5-1 compression 347 (4.125 bore 3.250 stroke-not your typical 347) that's making just under 900 at the flywheel at 10,200rpm....in a Ford ranger 😁
Edit- you're not doing not bad for a 6 👍
Very Good !! Most guys under age of 30...wouldn't know what a slant six is ! I had one in a 66 Fargo. First motor I rebuilt. Excellent engines !! 👍👍.
I got to get chaz on the track it been a while but still the same car I passed it on to him to have fun with
that would be great too see!
I wanna see the numbers. What did it run?
at that time i was running 11.40et to 11.10 ets in the 115/119mph range!
@@terrylittlejohn good job. 👍
so it is safe to say a slant six can see well in to 6 grand (RPM). just wondering I am boosting my 225/6 and was wondering what it could handle.
the bottom end will hold up the Brooklyn bridge. main bearings are a notch larger than the generously sized mopar big blocks. all made of tough stuff, too. just keep her full of good oil.
with a steel crank,steel rods,arp bolts everywhere maybe
Bad ass!!! Love my Mopar slant 6
thanks!
Wow!!! What a beast!
well the high compression 11.4/1 engine I was running before I went supercharged I shifted at 6500rpms and ran it over the line at 6800rpms.
was this the 170 cu in engine?? and how much horsepower did it made?
@@TuningDutchy no, 225 with 0.080" over bore! on it`s best run it made 390hp to the rear wheels
@@terrylittlejohn oh wauw, that are some beautyfull results,, yeah the 225 is a nice sounding engine
Still got the car?
@@TuningDutchy yes still have it! never made it to the track yet this year!
@@terrylittlejohn might be a good idea to do so so everything is stretching its legs a bit again
Man i love ur car a lot
Where are the pictures of track videos of it going down the track. AWESOME !

What type of LSA and overlap are you running for your cam?
at this time of recording it was 108deg lsa and install at 108degs no advance! now i have 114degs lsa installed at 110degs.
Buzzin half Dozen!!!!!!!
mmmmmm, that sounds lovely, it all sounds very happy, thanks for sharing
Sounds awful.
Could you take some pic of the motor would like to see that blower. Thanks kyle
lu-hu-hu-huv it.......
Did you have a fourth grader do the dash wiring?
Amagine everyone threw away their slant sixes😳
Heck just let em. I'd be sitting my ass on a portable chair at the entrance of a scrap yard with a flatbed trying to see how many I can gather

I can feel that thing pull thru the screen haha
what RPM's you revin to?
Sounds like a pissed off mail man.
Why would you use a slnt isn't strait better

It does sound good.
thanks!
That was badass for a Slant 6 mopar or no car!🖒🏁😎
some pit are on webshots,just search my name, i will take a video of the engine and post it.
what kind of gearbox and shifter???
it`s a 904 auto with low first gear 274 , full manual reverse pattern valvebody and b&m rachet shifter. 3900rpm stall converter
terrylittlejohn Thanks man ;)
Nice
Nailed it 😂
That's awsome
thanks, finally got a 6.99et@95mph 1/8mile
Wow that sounds great, i really like that steering wheel also it would look nice in my Datsun, do you have any idea where I could find one like that?
Looks like it might be an original Mopar Tuff wheel that came on this car. They are reproducing them now so try a Google search.
it`s a tuff style wheel from mid to late 70`s dodge Plymouth! some retro parts supplier still have them! swap meet might be a good place too start!
Cheers for the replys seems like that might be a tough find for me in Austrailia I'll keep a look out online👌
@@715101 Do Jegs or Summit ship to Australia? It looks like they both sell similar versions of this wheel.
The Insane Shecklador yeah both Jegs and summit ship to Australia, cheers I'll check it out
Insane
What transmission
904 {998} manual valve body with 10" 3900 stall converter ! best 60ft`s 1.45sec .
@@terrylittlejohn Wow, sticking with the 904? That's a stout gearbox! I'd have figured you'd be running the 727 with as much power as you're likely getting.
@@Oldbmwr100rs 727 is naturally stronger, but the 904 weighs less &
takes less hp to spin. lower ET :)
@@gzuzsavz Much the same reason the old 2 speed box was so popular for so long. I know the torqueflite transmissions were strong by design at least.
Is this A SLANT SIX? hOW fast does it run?
yup! & he runs 11's in the 1/4 mile :)
..and that aint even near the fastest /6 around. Buzz saw beast
my first car was a 63 valiant had a 170 slant 6 easy to work on
My first car was a 64 dart 2 door with a 225 and a push button automatic
the video of this run is here to.
Love it.
