That's more like it!! Flow through head design is usually much better than ones that ain't! Hope it has beefier rods in it vs the stock toothpick legs.....

I love my B-body slant 6. 65 Coronet. I drive it all the time. Decent gas mileage and everything pretty much works.

Had a 78 Aspen with a 6 while in college and a bit after. That car always ran great and I never had any problems with the engine. Didn't use a drop of oil and would cruise just fine at 70mph. The sheet metal on the other hand...……...lets just say there wasn't much left of it by the time I got rid of it.

Hope it isn't using the factory rods!

We have put twin tubo's without waste gates on a slant six with factory rods. Last I know it was still running 30 years later. At the time we didn't care slants were plentiful.

What kind of RPM did y'all turn it?

I've seen some fast /6's at the track and most of them had lots of money in them.

You are asking a 48 year old question. But I think it was kept under 6000. Slants are known for their bottom end the boost did help tremendously.

My step dad had a 72 duster with a slant 6

he was a idiot ! That’s probably why I didn’t like them then. Now I wish I had one. Maybe I was the idiot ?
