1962 Lancer Wagon, Lancersaurus!

Ok, I am not EXPERT. However I am not in kindergarden.
Here is the link, http://www.allpar.com/corporate/bios/hagenbuch-interview.html

Here are selected lines:
"Now the beloved slant-6 was designed first as a 170, but they knew all the time that it was going to be raised an inch and become the 225. But it was well into the 170 development program before we even saw a 225. Boy, that thing was a disaster! For an engine with a reputation like it now has, that thing was a pig to start with. Everything was wrong with it, things I can’t even remember. The parts were all made for the 170 with the exception of the block, crankshaft and connecting rods. All of them require modifications, a lot of which found their way into the 170 as well. It just proves you can’t build two engines that much different in displacement with the same identical parts and pieces; it doesn’t work out that way."

"What was the end solution? Was it to make it….
Oh, there were changes to everything. The crankshaft had torsional vibration problems which were rectified; I wasn’t close to that phase of the program, being plenty busy with piston rings and oil economy.
Why wouldn’t that happen on the 170?
Because the crank shaft has a whole lot more overlap, like a half an inch because it had an inch shorter stroke. The 170 is the nearest thing I have ever owned to an unbreakable engine."

OK????????????????
This is what I was referring to. So go and unload on AllPar and Pete Hagenbusch.
