    Boosted slant?

    block was cracked before boost was added. I missed it when the block was cleaned and milled ( should have saw it ) think it froze at some point. I have multiport fuel injection on it. i knew I could control each cylinders injector that way. it has a cam, probably more duration than ideal but it...

    Boosted slant?

    I will say 5-7psi really wakes a slant up! I will also say so far mine has had No issues with that level and more ( on a fairly safe tune ). Even with .120 off the block, Stock pistons with some new rings and bearings. I wanted to put it together on the cheap before spending the money on fancy...

    Anyone running a Holley Sniper 2300 on their slant?

    I had the 4bbl Aussie Hurricane. while I agree it helps with distribution in my opinion it was smarter to go with multiport. the cost of having a old Offy intake I picked up cheap was not that bad. I also wanted the extra room for the turbo that the Aussie intake was using.

    Anyone running a Holley Sniper 2300 on their slant?

    I had the Aussie intake with a carb, then a FiTech TBI set up. wish I would have never wasted my time with the FiTech on the slant. Should have followed my gut and just took the plunge right away. I honestly could not believe the difference had I not seen it myself. even on initial start up...

    TorqStorm Supercharger build advice needed

    Rusty if you were closer I would drive over and take ya for a spin. finally getting this thing together makes me want to kick myself for not boosting a slant when I first cooked up this idea....... even 5-6psi on my slant is a Total Blast

    TorqStorm Supercharger build advice needed

    I'm 8.5-9ish to one on crap 91 ( I do have an intercooler to help with intake temps ). very conservative with my tune. Have been sneaking up on it ( 6psi is a Lot of fun already ).

    And So It Begins....

    my wife & daughter get such a kick out of how many people have to stop & ask about our little 6. usually end up with one of 3 questions. how much horsepower? how quick in the 1/4? or how's the gas mileage? LOL We have more fun with this little car, than I ever did with the Big Block in the...

    And So It Begins....

    yes, the engine master guys. I don't think they really did try, but I only saw the way it was aired after editing ( and constant trash talk ). Weird **** is where its at, I know when I walk through a car show I spend more time looking at the oddball car than the rows of Mustangs, Camaros...

    And So It Begins....

    those engine power guys are slant haters..... they didnt even give it a real shot. plenty of people have gone over 7psi with a Felpro head gasket. I know I have..... its a shame they never really even tried with that engine. I cant wait to see you put this thing in Vixen. I totally get the...

    Damper retaining bolt?

    i have run a 72 and up radiator and now a 64-65 radiator in my 66 without an issue ( all using the spacer ). only reason I didn't buy the 66 radiator from Champion is its listed with a smaller hose connection. IF I wasn't in a rush to get it I would have contacted and verified it was not...

    When switching from 18" to 22" radiator, are new cooler lines needed?

    I can try and get a picture, mine had a little accident last week and lost a fight with a wrench ( I did something stupid ) the construction is not as nice as the Champion radiators I have seen but, it was a Lot cheaper back then. I did notice mine was a single row and worked very well. I am...

    When switching from 18" to 22" radiator, are new cooler lines needed?

    I had the liland global for your car in my 66 ( slightly modified ) worked great until I put a hole in it with a wrench.... if I could have gotten another ( 2 row ) I would have. still waiting for my 2 day shipping ebay special to show up...... nothing like ordering something on a Thursday...

    MS3 , Multiport & turbo build

    yep, that is the set up I used. I machined the shaft to fit the slant 6 distributor gear. just felt better about using the plastic gear meant for our cam.

    MS3 , Multiport & turbo build

    the MS3Pro is mounted inside on the passenger floor board below my heater box. main harness comes through the firewall above it. i figured that kept it as far away from the heat on the other side and out of the elements.

    MS3 , Multiport & turbo build

    I will try and answer this as best as I can. the coils are mounted to the inner fender using modified aftermarket LS coil mounts. I am running a 36-1 wheel on the crank with a home made mount welded to the timing cover ( similar to Matt@DIY made ). for the cam I have a modified Jeep Cam...

    Recommendation for Forged Pistons and Connecting Rods

    I totally get the something different. That is why I am working on a slant right now. Adding multiport, coil near plug and a turbo. Its been a fun and challenging build so far.

    Recommendation for Forged Pistons and Connecting Rods

    killer6, I agree and understand. just the blanket X compression is too high is not accurate.

    Recommendation for Forged Pistons and Connecting Rods

    10.25 is too much for boost? then how do the modern engines get away with 10 to 1 and boost. it can be done, is it ideal No. I havent built a slant with those pistons or the longer rods but would bet the 10-10.25 to 1 is in a perfect world. I havent seen anyone actually post deck heights of...

    MS3 , Multiport & turbo build

    Gill Welding is who modified the intake for my build. deck and head milling would be dependent on the compression ratio / pistons used. I would have them milled to make sure they are straight and have the correct finish for the gasket being used.
