Engine Masrer’s supercharged one and it didn’t break 300 HP. I saw a video on a NA one with an exotic 3 carb set up. It fell just short of 300. For PowerNation to get 400/500, I’m amazed. That is over 100 more than what I’ve seen. The heads are not designed to be performance. Intake and exhaust on same side really hurts flow. The slant makes it almost impossible to to have the intake on one side and the exhaust on the other. I had so much fun rebuilding my 65.

I built a forged crank 225 slant six that was bored to fit Mopar 2.2 liter dished turbo pistons on 198 slant six rods. Oregon Cams reground a stock cam for a little more mid-power oomph. For the valvetrain I used Ford 2.3 Ranger valves and machined the head for Pontiac 400 springs, and did a "bowl hog" on the intake side. For carburation I used a Holley 350 CFM on a modified Super Six factory intake. Spent gases left via dual Dutra manifolds, which made it necessary to use a Dakota V-6 starter. The stock distributor had lighter springs added for more initial advance, and I used a big block timing chain. I also adopted a GM HEI ignition feeding a Ford Taurus e-coil. I had it hooked to an A833 4 speed. It made about as much power as a stock 5.2 Magnum, but it was different! And it was definitely a lot of fun making something that not everyone else had. I'm glad I got to take my dad for a ride before he passed away in 2020. He was a dyed-in-the-wool Mopar nut.

I couldn't believe what I was reading! Absolutely loved seeing this. I used the same pistons and rods in one of my builds back in the early 90s with my 66 Valiant 2dr. I used bronze bushing in the small end of the rod to float the pins for the turbo pistons. My valves were stainless replacements from Racer Walsh for a 2Liter Fords. They had the smaller diameter stems, but were a larger valve diameter and they had to be .100" longer than original Ford length. Used a Erson Flat Tappet Cam from my earlier 170ci build, yet had it reground to a roller and used 440 roller lifters. Fully ported the head. The carb was a Holley 390CFM Vacuum Secondary with 125hp nitrous plate between it and the Clifford Intake. Homemade headers using the flanges from an old Clifford set I picked up at the Daytona Swap Meet. Ran a Mallory ignition box and distributor. Built a 904 tranny with a reversed manual valve body. It still is the one engine I had the most fun building and racing with. Nobody could ever believe that it was a slant six until I opened the hood. Thanks for commenting PapiDoesIt, this brought back some great memories and motivated me to make my first youtube comment.

Ford made a big block six, unlike other makers.

Absolutely the best engine Chrysler ever built. Had four 225's and one 170 engines, The last was '81 Dodge truck, super six (2 bbl) 2.5" exhaust. MSD 6 / MSD coil. MSD copper plug wires. plugs gapped at .065. 22-24 MPG with O.D. 4 speed. sold with 400,000 miles to a guy in Traverse City Michigan. Last I knew it was past 500,000 miles when I lost track of him. Had to pull the head at 350,000 miles and replace number 6 exhaust valve with full clean up & valve job. Just an absolute great engine ! There is a buddy in Thawville Illinois with a Dart that has a turbo charged slant six from 30 years ago. Lots of slant six fans out there !

This engine was originally designed as a reliable do-all machine mover: cars, pick-ups, boats, sawmills, off grid electric generator, you name it. What you guys did with it is truly AWSOME. I loved my '73 Duster with its slanty-six. Chrysler should have used a good cross flow head on these right from the start. Never dreamed it could be so capable with 21 century tech.

I think a hemi head based on the Toyota 2TC and 3TC could work on a slant six. The pushrods are on the passenger side of the block. The 3TC can be bored to 3.50-inch with good sized valves - although it was only a 1.8 four with 75 hp stock, but when modded can make 600 hp. The custom head could use Toyota valve train parts -there is still a T series niche aftermarket - billet heads, big valves etc.

😢​​@@izzyplusplusplus1004 The 3TC is a 1.8 liter four. When extrapolated to a six it's 2.7 liter - about the same displacement as the 170 slant six. I'd like to see just one built. It would not be popular on street Valiants and Darts because the intake manifold is on the passenger side, but I think there is as much space as the original Corolla had. That aftermarket billet heads were created is an inspiration. A 700 hp turbocharged 3TC can break the block, block damage could also be a problem with a slant six. On the 3TC a main bearing support "girdle" is custom made. It's cool what they can do with the 80 hp economy motor.

Thank you for this build. Just because the average Joe can’t budget a build like this doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy what can be done with “old technology “ when budget constraints don’t dictate what you can accomplish. I love straight six engines and I personally think that there’s a huge market for plain Jane work trucks with straight six engines tuned for torque and a minimum of high technology add-ons that are running costs through the roof for new trucks.

Slant six story...I had a 68 Dodge Dart and on a trip from Jamestown ND to MPLS on the Thursday before Easter, the engine overheated or had an oil problem but it seized up...a farmer picked me up on the highway, and my buddy..I was 22 at the time, in 1977, and took us to a junk yard where we picked up an engine that had been laying on the ground with the spark plugs still in it. There was nothing I needed but the block/head and I bought this, put it in the pickup and the farmer took us to the local parts store...I bought the stuff I needed like oil, gaskets, etc. and it turned out the farmer also worked at the local grain silo which services the semi trucks that took the grain around the Midwest. I was able to use that service bay area to pull that engine, put the other one in the Dodge, and by the next night we were on our way back to Mpls....who does this!! Thank you Jamestown Farmer and your garage/service bay!! We left some money and the spent slant six on the bay floor....Johnne in Clallam Bay, WA.

The "Tilley VC Valiant" had a Slant with 635hp, a decade before the AussieSpeed stuff came along. Now, with those big manifolds, a better Dutra-into-turbo section, and ports like Pat got here, the limit is going to be the temperature drop the intercooler can achieve. Even up to 90 thou over, a Slant block will handle more boost - There was one on the Aussie "MoPar Forums" back 20 years ago that was 120 thou over bored and it cracked the bores at 17psi boost. "Potential" will be, what cost more, this build, or a new Hurricane crate motor swap :)

Having worked on these engines, what you’ve done is so impressive! Can you explain how you hooked up the oil line for the turbo? For a Dyno, the oil pan works.

I have had this same idea for about a year. I grew up with this engine and it is absolutely indestructible. Thank you very much!!

Awesome build! Showing what a Leaning Tower of Power can really do 😎👍

Very impressive! I didn’t expect that power level. Well done!

Loved this! My first engine rebuild was a 225 Slant 6. I could see a market to upgrade sleepy slant 6 models with this engine and a nice 6 speed.

Over 400hp and 500lb of torque is impressive for a leaning Tower of Power. Go the mighty Mopower!

Clay Milican is such a cool person! Loved seeing him on the PFI Speed channel too!

As one of your viewers, who requested this build, thank you! Freaking awesome - such a bad ass little in-line six. But, want to see some more juice out of it.

I love it as well. Secretly I'd also like to see it with a twinscroll turbo..it's possible and more torque down low..who doesn't love that?!?

@marshallwilliams4054 would be really cool. I know Saabs made peak Torque at even 1800RPM and peak HP around 550. But that was like 230HP out of a 2.0 with 11psi of boost

I figured with those manifolds, you could have small parallel twins. That is how the RB26DETT was built.

That's awesome! I've always wanted to do something like this to a slant six. This is expensive, but they were thorough.

I've been waiting almost 20 years for this build. My first car was a 74 Scamp with a slant six! ✊🤘👍

You guys are knocking it out of the park lately. The boosted Chrysler 225 success following on from the unbelievable power output of the aspirated Chevrolet 400 SB from a couple of weeks back has blown my mind. 👏 🍻

What a great build you guys, have always loved the slant six, now im even more impressed....wow....incredible...

That is a wicked slant 6. That would be an awesome set up in an old willys jeep pickup. Keep up the great work guys.

This is basically a 1 of 1, great job Pat and Frankie!

Pat, Frankie, this is too cool! I'm all about V8 power, but these inline 6 cylinder builds you guys have been doing are pretty stinking awesome! They got me thinking about what else could be built.

Man, I wish I just had a little bit of y’all’s knowledge about Engines. I can get just about any small Engine running good Stock. But improving above Stock is out of my League. Amazing what you did with the old Slant Six. I would’ve never guessed you could get that much Horsepower and Torque from that Engine. Way to go Guys.👍👍👍👍👍

Guys this is truly awesome, brings back memories when I had my 71 225 Duster. and did some mods to it but never at that level that you guys are doing I guess it's because the parts were not available unless you had a 318 340 or 440 V8, so I thank you guys for doing a build like this just for the sake of possibilities of what could have been back in the day👍

A max effort slant 6, just genius. I can see myself putting one of these in a 2 door valiant. Great work!

By far one of the most interesting engine building episodes , bravo les gars .

The slant six really lends itself to turbo charging. 👍

I learned to drive with a 1964 Plymouth Valiant 225 slant 6 3-on-the-tree! I loved that car!

I had a high school buddy who's mom let him drive her Plymouth Duster to school and then work at his dad's turbo shop in Fresno in the early 70's. He "borrowed" a small industrial turbo from the shop and secretly grafted it onto the slant six motor in the Duster. No waste gate, no other mod's. He raced a handful of kids with muscle cars of the era and beat some of them but amazed all of them with his "sleeper." Had to replace some pushrods after each race so he kept a bunch in the trunk. This went on for a couple of weeks before it grenaded and put a rod through the block. His dad wasn't happy, but it was fun while it lasted.

Great build, I've owned many slant sixes and this just makes me smile.

Very impressed guy's! Thanks so much for putting this together for us. I can't wait to see what you two put this in and hopefully you'll make a video of it on the strip.

The 225 slant six is one of the best motors ever built in any class. I've seen them run 1/4 million miles without any lower end problems. I've also seen one run 100's of miles with the main bearings so shot that the harmonic balancer was slapping the front of the block. I've have two different cars with one in them and they were insanely dependable. And some people remember they were retired but then brought back in the 80's when Dodge needed a six cylinder for truck applications while they developed a V6 for that use.

That is awesome. The 225 is legendary. I had a 66 Dart growing up. It never failed me.

This is one of the coolest engine builds I've seen. Good stuff

Thanks for what you guys do I know you probably do it for passion and love to work on these rebuilds but I’ve learned so much and it’s fun watching these builds as well. Your doing a lot of people favors that work from their garage

Drove a Plymouth Duster for years with this engine. When I sold it in 89 it had almost 300 thousand miles. My neighbor bought it, stripped it down and made a drag car. I never made it out to see him race it, GREAT car!!

Our first decent family car was a near new AP5 Valiant back in the day. My father loved it. After 20 years it was still going strong until some octogenarian went through a Stop Sign and wiped it out. I swear he shed a tear when it went to the wreckers. Today it would be worth a mint and repaired. I send him all these KZread vids on highly tuned slant six engines and he loves them. Hard to believe that 60 yrs after he first purchased his, it's now out of his reach to buy another.

Wow, what a beauty! That engine is a masterpiece! Great work guys, just amazing.

I would have loved to have a set up like this in my old Swinger or D100 truck.

Aussie here. I had a stock-standard 3-speed auto 1966 VC Valiant with this engine during the 1980's and I LOVED it. I drove it back and forth between Sydney and Brisbane a lot, Broken Hill and Adelaide one time, down to Canberra & Melbourne - and fully enjoyed it every day. It didn't seem to matter that it had drum brakes, no power steering, nor air conditioning. There were quite a lot of them getting around in Sydney, and then in the 1990's they faded away, and now are a rare sight.

Great informative video guys. No BS, no "attitood" just build it right. Results tell the whole story. That would be a terrific street engine in an old Mopar. Bags of cred there.

Most excellent slant 6 I have seen. A few extra minutes showing details of wiring would have been really interesting, too. Thank you.

I'd like to see more in-line sixes being built here. This slant-six is a far cry from the one in my old '65 Plymouth Valiant ( Canada ) :)

At 16 years old in 1970, my first car was an early 1960 Valiant V200 (the birth of the Slant-Six,) which I bought for $100 that I earned as a fry cook at KFC. I fixed it up 100% with pick-a-part used, and economy new, parts, and High School Auto Shop know-how. The adventures we had in that car are too numerous to list. Later when I had a "Data "Processing" career, I was always buying cool old cars: 1958-1961 finned Cadillacs, old pickups, a Falcon convertible and Ranchero, even a Jaguar XK140. Life happened and I don't have them any more, but the car I miss the most is the '60 Valiant. Watching this video, how could I not picture my beloved Valiant found and restored better than new with this marvelous motor!? (Heavy sigh...)

I followed the build posts on Facebook. I would not have guessed it would made the numbers it did with turbo (400+ HP, 500+ lbs/ft torque). The Aussies had some trick parts. I wish that aftermarket manufacturers did an aluminum cylinder head with upgraded specs for the Slant Six and othe inline sixes, just like Edelbrock did for the Jeep 4.0L. This build is one that Uncle Tony must see.

Nicely done, good content. I love a good inline 6 build. it would be cool to see you guys do something with the gm LL8/Vortec 4200.

This is absolutely amazing. The first engine I ever built was a /6, and while it had a couple of small tweaks (Super Six intake, 2bbl carb, hotter ignition, and a little cam,) this is just 100% mental. I could see this in an Aspen woody wagon with an 8-3/4 rear and a 5-speed absolutely blowing peoples' minds at the strip.

I am so impressed... Back in the 1980s I had a 1967 D200 crewcab with a 225 in it which was slow as christmas but would pull all day. Wish I still had that rust bucket. ;-)

Growing up I can remember my dad always had muscle cars, and he loved mopar. The car I remember the most was a Dodge Challenger, yellow with the black racing stripes, that car was absolutely gorgeous. He ended up crashing that car. And his last muscle car was a Road Runner blue with black racing stripe. I wanted that car so much, but he gave it to my brother who drove it into the ground and then sold it. I never owned my own. Now I drive a Chevy Silverado 2500HD with an L5P Duramax. It tows a camper lol. Dads long gone but I remember him always telling me those old slant 6 engines were his favorite because they were pretty much reliable and bullet proof. That statement always struck me as odd because I can’t remember him ever owning one, they were all big V8s.

That was impressive. That torque figure of almost 520 is nuts. That will likely pull the wheels in a Valiant if you load it at the line. Wow!

Mopar engines are torque monsters and this slant six is getting into 440 territory for torque, pretty slick, heck of a sleeper for sure

We had a 77 D100 with a slant 6. It was used and abused, turned into a a trash/farm truck in the mid 90's before rust finally got it. But the motor never died despite how poorly it was treated and maintained. Great choice. This along with the other inline 6 builds are by far the most interesting and cool videos on the channel.

I turbo charged my 225 slant 6 in my 67 Dodge Dart. I absolutely had a blast with that car

My Dad had a Massey 300 combine back in the day with a slant 6 in it. It got the job done.

I wanna see a 4cyl build from these guys they do an amazing job I'm sure they would make a killer 4cyl

I was never impressed with the slant 6, I had a few cars over the years with it, and they were all dogs. But I get why you wanted to hop one up. No one does it, it's an oddball hot rod build, and we can always learn something from your builds. Keep it up, guys!

It depends on the details. The Mercedes Benz 300SL, the first "muscle car" if you will, had a 3L slant 6 and a top speed of 160 mph.

This is pretty sick!

Man I have great memories of the ole slant , this is incredible..great job to all

Every time MotorTrend used to release a new Roadkill video I always asked them to do a slant 6 turbo, they always ignored me. Now you guys have done it Im so pleased to see the result!
