The "Indestructible" Slant 6

Damn....... I was at a car show once and they had a betting pool on how long it would take a slant 6 to blow (it was still in an early 60s Dart).

They wired the throttle wide open, drained the oil and it still took 1.5 hours for the thing to let go.

Does not mean much to me. Before I pulled the 2.8 v-6 out of my old Ranger I drained the oil and fired it up. Ran for close to an hour before it locked up. Let it cool down and tired again, took about 20 minutes the second time. Seeing as how I was not out of beer yet after it cooled I did it again. 15 minutes later it locked up. Dropped it off at the shop I was employed at, figured I would contribute to the scrap pile. Steve, the owner, flipped out on me. He needed a 2.8 so he could do a weekend swap in his DD. We tore it apart, it had 100k on it plus my abuse. Polished the crank, honed it and threw it back together. He put another 100k on it before yanking it out and replacing it.
This is not directed at you, but some of you folks are comical. You think that the only thing that can have a can of whoop *** opened up on it and survive is a Mopar product.....if that were the case then how did the other brands survive this long?
