Slant Six G-Tech trials

My good friend Cj and I in his 1974 Plymouth Valiant 4 door doing some runs with the G-Tech unit Cj borrowed. He has a 248CI slant with long rods, and an Edelbrock 4 barrel. Considering that the car weighed 3800 lbs even with us in it, it did well. This car consistently runs mid 16s in the quarter.

No way that Valiant weighs 3800... Optioned to the gills, and full of gas and dripping wet, it shouldn't even reach 3600.

Not by itself no, you are correct. This car has been modified with structural supports, heavier duty suspension and drivetrain parts, not to mention he and I in the car.

We went across the local CAT scale at exactly 3800 lbs, which is the only reason I know it was that heavy. We've installed various fiberglass parts on the front in place of the metal components to lighten the car. It weighs considerably less now.

With the lightweight parts on there, we now roll across the scales at 3580. The car will pull low 16's in the quarter according to the G-Tech. He ran some trials before I showed up.

Love the sound of that slant six. And a quarter mile @ 80mph is cooking for a slant.

[Raiden7800]

Yea, and that was with a 3800 lb car... O_o

What was the time to reach 80 mph in this test?Cool sounds great...

[arkansastrash320]

How many seconds did it take to get that 80mph?It sounds good the engine does.

3800? my 71 fury only weighs 3900 and its at least three times as large. my 74 valiant crossed the scales at 3040lbs with a 318 and 904 tranny

Nice old slant! One of the meanest sounding 6 cylinder engines ever.
