Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project

Bill, i just recently started bugging my shop's landlord about a slant i found on the property and asked if hed sell it to me. Itd get a full redo in my shop over time by me while i drive the one currently in the car.I was thinking one of the basic rebuild kis. Have the included new cam ground ro whatevers turbo friendly and maybe some slightly oversized bore and pistons on the bottom end. I'm not sure what all id do, but i would have the block machined and funds are always limited.

That is great news! A free slant 6 is always good!

I'd hate to see you build an engine from scratch with stock pistons and rods. The Wiseco/K1 piston/rod combo is a about a thousand dollars, which seems like a lot of money, but the resistance to detonation, and increased boost you could run because of those parts is well-worth it, I rhink.

MLS head gaskets are now available, too. Not COMETIC.

A 400 hp street engine should be well within your reach, with un-ported. but, big valve heads (speculation, on my part.) Let higher boost feed the cylinders...:blob:

More later...
