250 HP Slant Six - No Turbo
OK I WAS staying out of this thread...Nobody wins when mud is slung.
However Walt we really need you to back up some of your information.
Also remember that the cited referances from the early 60's are JUST that. Back when a 426 HEMI ran 14's in a 1/4.
There are a VAST amount of "newer" tricks around now. We have slant cars now that have run 9's and everyday 12's.
As for the MP book most of the slant guru's think it bunk to sell MP parts.(Which BTW are no longer supported by Mopar).
If you wish to learn about slant 6 engines 1 of the best places to do so is go where MOST of the slant 6ers hang out. SLANTSIX.ORG
JUST my02.

First I was not and never have relied on only Mopar Performance parts or only information that they have also not only old information as well...
For that matter you asking me my source(s) of info is fine to prove facts however don't get egg on your face when someone does prove what they are talking about...
FYI want to make a good bet? Since Standard Catalog series uses factory info... I'll seek out a Dodge Truck Brochure with the 251 slant six info in it as proof..
FYI from what I ahve found the 251 cu in Truck six was made for use in trucks (according to the Standard Catalogue of Light Duty Trucks) it was made in 62/63 although I'm uncertain as to length of production...
I also heard from a guy who actually found one of these bigger slant sixes and installed in it his pickup and was smoking a lot of vehicles in street racing with it... Shocking them when he showed they were beaten by a 6 cylinder he didn't bother to tell them its cubes were 251 not 225 LOL...
While I do not say I know everything there is to know about the slant six I do know more than most...
I also know that a slant six in a light car built right can push 50 MPG by adding to what started as Feather Duster fir basis too.
I will not knowingly mislead anyone and do take facts from many good sources
sorry you seem to have gotten a bee in your bonnet
Walt
