*Realistic expectations..C-mon jump in!

needsaresto said

I would'nt be surprised.I've had a few slant's,lol. Power was always barely adequate! Steep gears really do help the little /6. Dont get me wrong I love the slant. One of God's best creation's! But I am realistic for power expectation's,and compared to a Ford straight six they are down on power (GASP!!!). Oh yea I didnt dis the slant just stating my observations.

I wasn't calling you out or anything, just adding some info for those that probably didn't know the /6 was used in full size dodge trucks. :D (and the old flathead 6's before that... the flathead 218 in my '48 only puts out like 95hp)

super low compression and heavy internals, the perfect candidate for a centrifugal supercharger. I've even seen vintage (1940's / 50's) superchargers on ebay from time to time for those engines.
