slant six T- Bucket start up.

[ExUSSailor]

Very nice! The most reliable T-Bucket EVER!

[akretowicz]

Nice! Love the headers!

[carabela125]

Sounds like my dad's old Dodge Dart.......NOT !

[changrider]

Cool car, sounds great. Nice to see not only V8's get put into those rods. It's different and that makes it cool! I don't like the pipes tho.

[greasertv]

We got a bunch of slant sixes sitting round in Australia, no-one does them up very much. You'rs looks mad - but here the zoomie pipes are fully illegal, so you'd lose a lot of the effect.

[quacksacker]

In my opinion, the Slant-6 is the best gasoline powered engine ever built. I've had three and could not kill them no matter what I put them through. Why did Chrysler stop building them?

[NipkowDisk]

Truly beautiful and unique.

The Slant Six is one of the very best engines ever produced. Period. Superb choice of powerplant and it's great to see one on full display as yours is.

[NathansBackwoods]

i think a slant six would have been better in an old dodge since its a Chrysler engine...oh well.

[dexamyl]

very , VERY nice !

I love the unmistakable sounds of a solid lifter "Leaning Tower of Power" .

Kudos to you for adding a unique drivetrain ( including trans AND diff !!! ) to your 'Bucket .

[70moparbaby]

sounds like a mean /6!!! :D

[limitlessracer]

Is that the Clifford performance intake and rocker arms.

[atrox779]

@limitlessracer Yes they are. The rocker arms are in question, I will work on them on a later date.

[limitlessracer]

@atrox779 how easy are they to tune and how well do they work. Im planing on getting them for my salnt but im trying to get more info on them.

[suedebear]

Its great to see someone use an old workhorse slant six in a T-bucket, im getting sick and tired of seeing great looking T's with cookie-cutter small block chevs. Bravo on your rig.

[videodude4001]

i think its classer. with it being a flathead it makes it way cooler

[bunning63]

For those who ask,"why didn't you just put a...", you don't get it. Nice one mate.

[5tonyvvvv]

best motor ever made..they had to stop makin em...they go forever!!!

[mrfarmerjimbob]

Glad to see you had the imagination to build one of the great sixes instead of just dropping in a SBC like so many others. Slant six can surprise people-- know mine did & it was stock with 175,000 miles on it.

[finktube]

Nice.. very nice! It has a one-off, "mad science" look to it. I love all that skewed hardware and plumbing, reminds me of Ed Roth's asymmetrical designs. Hats off for creating something fairly unique, which is what the hobby is about.

[atrox779]

@finktube That is a great compliment finktube. I have been studying Ed Roth's history on the web, Thank you sir! :~)

[kenzo5716]

good job. something different for a change. those slant sixes are really tough. i have seen slant 6 motors at circle track races run wide open all night long and never blow up.

[atrox779]

@kenzo5716 I would love to see a slant six circle track race! :~)

[wazii6]

bro i am so glad u whent for somthing instead of the v8s and v6

[atrox779]

@wazii6 Thanks for the comment Sir.

[wazii6]

@atrox779 u see i wanna see a good 4 banger hot rod with either a blower or a turbo

[coolcono100]

now i'm not trying to hate on the slant 6, but why performance build one instead of picking up a cheap 350 or something for your t-bucket project?

[atrox779]

@coolcono100 WOW! I could've had a V-8! Then I would be just like everyone else.

[atrox779]

@coolcono100  Pasteurized, Homogenized, Tastes like chicken small block Chevy .

[24preacherboy]

@coolcono100

Why this engine instead of a 350?

Because he didnt build this car to do a 9 sec 1/4 mile.

He build this for a little fun on the highway and to have a little cool factor.

You put SBC in it and people will yawn when they see it.

This is cool off the charts.

You put this t-bucket next to one that has a SBC and everybody will huddle around this one.

[cumminsfan]

@coolcono100 everybody, their brother, and thir mother has a 350. part of hotroding is unique expression.

[basenji57]

Very nice

Mine Slant 6 has a Worked 225, Webber Carbs like yours & Redline Manifold from oz MSD ignition control is very good for cold start ups.

Thanks Ray

@basenji57 Thanks for the comment friend> :~)

[polaragnc]

jojojo!! very good car!! i love the Slant six!! i´m from Argentina and here it´s a great engine for race!

in the 80s was widely used, reached an average of 7200 rpm and an average speed of 250 km / h!

did not come here many v8, so he dedicated both to improving 6cil engines, which are still running today! the slant was changed to Cherokee 4.0!

the slant is always won and banned other trademarks are complaining hahaha!

Greetings!

[rustydog0329]

That looks awesome!!! Never saw a 6 in a car like that Great job, and something really unique>

[renaulterostepside]

very nice rat rod i have a slant 6 in a dodge fargo ´60 I thought this is torque engine but i´m watching that is an hp engine too and how long does it take a quarter mile?

[Stickman53fe]

Sounds awesome! Love the slant six idea.

[dunn98632]

what tranny are you using? a 4 speed or a 904 torqueflite

[GumballGang98]

youppi, j'aimerais faire ça avec le mien

[DARDO250]

hermoso motor y sonido del slant six un abrazo desde argentina

[limitlessracer]

damn. where did you get the camshaft from. I finished the one im building now and wont to get started on another.

[limitlessracer]

My slant six had a similar idle like the idle at 1:42 and it turned out that my distributor was off by 1 tooth.

[deathrehab]

mine did that too but no matter how i adjusted the dis or moved it to other teeth it never ran right.... i sold the truck this summer an i wish i hadnt. :(

[henrygent]

AWESOME! I LOVE IT! KEEP IT UP!

[mafiso4life]

shits gangster yo

[TestECull]

Kinda hard to get going the first time, but once she fired, purred like a kitten.

<3 all inline sixes.

The idle at 1:42 is epic.

[M0P4RxM4N]

hey man im thinking on building and T-Bucket and man you did all that at home. that badass man NICE!

[DR440]

How long ago was the /6 built? I tried to get a lunati cam for mine a year ago and they said it wasnt available.

You might possibly have an older cam? Or possibly they can grind them now?

Cool car and video!

[PlatniumProductions]

nice looking pipes dude

[atrox779]

Thanks Platmium

[coffeefish]

Looks great.

[stonethk]

Nice set-up. I'm in the middle of my slant build-going with the same 3 deuces :)

Any tips/pointers on tuning them?

Cool friggin car man.

[atrox779]

Thanks for the comment stonethk. I will get back to you in a few days with some quick tips/pointers.

[atrox779]

Yes they do tallfot. Are there many slant six cars left in Sweden?

[tallfot]

slant six rules!

[dodgoneta]

good!!!!!!!!!!!!!! from argentina

[hoodrydr]

Who makes that valve cover and where can I get it!?!?

[tipetu]

nice! Never seen anyone build a hotrod with a slant 6.. cool pipes!

[atrox779]

Thanks.

[tfeverfred]

Very nice AND different. Thanks.

[atrox779]

Thanks for the comment terrylittlejohn. I have a Lunati grind # SPLL2-295, part # 40000. Split duration.507 intake, .519 exhaust. 250/260 @ 050 lift. This cam was number 3 out of 4 race cam grinds that lunati in their books 20 years ago. I cant wait to convert this T-Bucket into a good running fuel injected highway car so that I can drive it all over this state. I built the frame in this garage back in 1984, drove it 500 miles in 1992. More videos 2 come. this tcar will run agian by 4-2009 :~)

[terrylittlejohn]

nice job, should be a fun ride! what cam have you got in it?
