Why the /6

Thanks for the all-too-kind words, but you have me confused with someone who ACTUALLY knows what he is talking about.:angry7:

I started learning about turbocharged slant sixes 5 years ago, never having owned a turbocharged anything, nor a slant six of any kind... so, I had a LOT to learn! I am still learning! If you want to see some pictrures of our car's build, email me at [email protected] and I'll be more than glad to send you what I have. We are about ready to have our car's maiden voyage on a set of clocks, so we'll find out if I know enough to try to teach anyone anything... probably not.

But I appreciate your generous statement... It was very nice. I would defer to a REAL expert, FABO member Charrlie Schmid, (no typo) who has years of slant experience, and has forgotten more than I will ever know about this stuff.

Seriously...:glasses7:

Sometimes some of the best sources to find information is from someone that has newly learned the stuff themselves. They tend not to leave out as many details as some of the guys that know stuff like the back of their hand. - Probably because it was a bigger struggle to get those things accomplished.

As an added plus guys that are going through projects like yours for the first time run into more pitfalls. Everybody likes to read about the oopses. It lets us know what to look out for. - And it keeps us from getting discouraged when we find ourselves banging our heads on the projects we're working on.

Even if the slanty turns out to be a turd (and I doubt it will), it will be one heck of an impressive one regardless.:thumrigh::thumrigh::thumrigh:
