Bob Ellis Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 There is no replacement for displacement. How much power can you get from that slant six anyway. Maybe power but not torque.You probably couldn't wind them out like todays engines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting 225 on the street isn't really too difficult normally aspirated, 250 with around 250+ lb.ft. of torque is well documented. 300 should be doable...but expensive.

Draggon Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 A better pic of the setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Did somebody say Hyper Pak parts from the old Revell Lancer? Because I have those parts, and I just lent them to a reputable caster. I'll keep everyone posted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is definitely a case of, "yeah, you could, but why would you". BUT, the world of custom vehicles is full or cars that make no sense whatsoever, but are revered as classics. If we're gonna accept the "art" of the Mysterion, we're forced to just accept that slant as some skilled fabricator just showing off a little. Does it make sense? No. Is it trick? Yep, looks cool. I think Ed Roth would dig it. I rest my case. Edited February 23, 2018 by Jantrix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Getting back to what I was saying earlier- you can now purchase a complete Slant Six from Motor City Resin Casters, and the engine includes the optional Hyper Pak parts. I don't think he has it on the site yet, but I'll get some pictures of the contents later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
