Hi, I have a 1962 S series Plymouth Valiant with the Slant six engine, it will take around $4K to restore, is it worth Restoring it?

[blownhemi]

If you're in thr US I'd probably say no unless the car has some sentimental value.

[LuvMyGT500]

BlownHemi, Could you please give us some details on your boosted slant 6. Carb or fuel injected, how much boost, tranny and rear, etc. Also, could you PLEASE post more clips of the car and the motor. Thanks.

Rocking video but the way!!!

[blownhemi]

Not my cars, but here a few details. The white one was at the time fuel injected with a water to air intercooler running around 15psi boost but the turbo was small and inefficient and the intercooler was a restriction. Now it runs a air to air intercooler and bigger turbo producing around 17psi boost and it makes around 370hp at the rear wheels.

Is it turbocharged?

[blownhemi]

yep

six in a row make's it go!

sixes would never go down. iron block could go for 600k +. mines at 628,000 and it still runs like new with a tune up.

Looking into buying a 74 dart with the slant 6, has a four barrel carb, headers, and a cam. Has a very lopey idle. Looks like a good car, and this video proves it!

Love the slant. I have one of those little old lady darts, one owner, and I think I will be moding it to run these kind of times.

Thumbs up for this rhyme:

The black one is one badass slanty

Okay, okay, so I currently drive a (Australian) Ford FG XR6 utility (pickup) with a 4 litre, fuel injected engine which will easily run 15's stock. But gee, I miss my old 225 Slant AP6. Money and x wife put an end to that one. But I reckon, if I win lotto, I'll get the lads to build a sweet 225, put the DOHC 4L in a box and run the Ford with the slant. They were/are an unbelievable motor. I called them a diesel-petrol, so smooth/beefy down low. Thankyou for the vid. Gaz.

@MrMyfmyf Hey if you can find a little plymouth or dodge that a little old ladys had sitting in her garage since he husband died.Those are the great cars usually one owners too.I don't mean just died say moved away or something but you get my meaning?Sitting up and all dusty just ready to run wish i could find that myself?

[MrMyfmyf]

I'm 34 now, I grew up with my parents 1976 Plymouth Volare station wagon, brown, yeah it looked like a turd but hey it had the 225ci SLANT 6. my dads a MOPAR guy and the car was very reliable, I miss going to the drive ins in the SW in the back in the late 70's. These slant sixes are very underrated. I'd love to have one of my own, maybe down the road someday....

[arkansastrash320]

That black car is the most AWSOME fast slant i ever saw damn !!!!
