I’d LOVE to see most of ’em with a paint job. They look half-finished.
2 in the end a pile of rust with a Cummins diesel sitting on top like many dodges.
3 Gives rumble seat a whole ne meaning.
I would drive most but not all.
A question I have kinda had for years here.
Engines like the “slant 6”.
Did it have any real engineering advantages or disadvantages by choosing that design. Only thing I can think of is it makes its profile lower to fit in a less tall area under a hood.
That’s the main thing. You could get a longer stroke without increasing the height.
Those old slant sixes were tough. My Dad was a forklift mechanic; I’ve seen the little slant six in lift trucks.
I had an old Duster with the big (225) slant six. Not hot off the line, but top end wasn’t bad at all. Good interstate runner.
Exactly – those slant 6’s could scream, and were very very very reliable! Easy to work on and rebuild. Underrated.
Ya musta dug deep for these. Great collection.
