68 Barracuda Slant Six Automatic Transmission

Slant six is cool nowadays for the interesting wow factor at car shows. They can be made quick with hop up parts and gearing. Once upon a time they were everywhere. If your intent is to make it quick, you would be farther ahead dollar for dollar installing a V8. I owned 4 different slant 6 vehicles over the years. A 1966 coronet 2 door hardtop, a 1970 barracuda base model. Yes it was a 225 A904 combo. A 1981 D100 with an A833 O/D 4 speed, and my current 67 barracuda. The only one I never drove with a slanty in it was the 67 barracuda. It's a taxicab engine. It's a gutless wonder unless you spend some cash on it to make it run. They were made to last almost forever, and get good mileage while doing it. They were the cheapest powerplant you could get if you were buying a new car and didnt want to pay for a V8. Honestly I never knew they put these things in barracudas until I bought mine. I figured like a charger, a barracuda would be V8 only. Then realized they offered a slant 6 in dodge chargers in 1968 lol.
