OK,another trip to the Machine shop,not done,but one step closer !!Did you know there's a chittload of metal when you bore one of these slants .105 over ??WOW !!! Still needs to be honed,so it's looking like next week !!Damn I hate waiting !!!:toothy10:

An AT2 225 Truck block slant six can be bored 0.100" and use Holden 173 pistons ( need to bore the piston pin bores to suit the slant pins)......or if theres enough meat in the bores, bore them 0.160" over and fit Holden 179 pistons.
 
Well I'm going to cross my fingers and Hope that my machine work will be done this week !! Dropped off the cam bearings for installation and he should also have my head ready !! :blob::blob::blob:

Do you mean "next week"??? I think this week is over...

Happy holidays to you and yours!!!
 
OK,I think I've got it down right now !!!This week is the next week I was talking about last week !!!With that being said,once I get my head back this week I can bring it up and let my welder work his Majic to make the Aussie Header work with the Aussie Hurricane Intake Manifold !! Then I can confuse myself again when I try to decide which Intake/Exhaust system I want to go with !! Powder Coated Offy/Ceramic Coated Hooker or get the Aussie I/E manifolds PC'd for even more bling !! Damn I hate decisions !!!:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

The Ausssie is VERY attractive; we got ours powder coated an aluminum-looking "silver." Now we've got an unconscionable amount of money in a manifold that is less than optimum for our application. But, it's the only one that "fits" the headers, so I guess we're stuck with it. We tried an Offenhauser and a Clifford, banging and grinding and it's just not gonna work.:angry5: Not with that header...

What a shame...
 
I guess I'm going to have to get serious about what color I want to paint the car as I want to paint the engine to match and do some painting on the ribs of my Offy Valve Cover too !!

That would be really cool, to have the engine and the body in identical colors. Unusual, too.
 
Wish I had pics of my previous slant 6 project,the only ones I have are of my 340 painted the same as the body on the Dart !It will give you an idea of how it looked though !!

You want to be DIFFERENT????


Put a turbo on a slant six... They're as rare as lips on a chicken, and purty, too... lotsa chrome....:blob:

To say NOTHING of F-A-S-T....:banghead:
 
Chrome?!?! Aw c'mon Bill, I'm supposed to be gettin some work out of this deal. LOL!!!

There'll be plenty of bling, don't worry. :-D
 
Are you ready for some Leanna ?? I could get started on some of my ready to go parts !!
 
I gotta try and get up there before the holidays Dennis... looks like you are making steady progress!
 
Well,tomorrow I'll go pick up the Block !!Woo Hoo !!!Crank has been polished and now it's time for standard bearings,then I can check and see if I need to cut the head or the block or both !! Head should be done early next week so I can my welder started on fixing my Aussie Header and Intake malfunction !!:blob::blob::blob::blob::blob::blob:

I don't believe so Bill !! She used to but she got away from it. Don't remember why though !!

I didn't think so...

This (from her): "Aw c'mon Bill, I'm supposed to be gettin' some work out of this deal. LOL!!!"

Was why I wrote this: "Does LeAnna do ceramic coatings?"

After you had written this: "LMAO,that's what Ceramic Coating's for !!!:iconbigg:"

Just sayin'...:blackeye:

But I do have a Local guy that does Ceramic coatings in Black,Chrome look and a brownish tan color !!
 
Chitt,I almost forgot,my block is now in the back of my truck !! Along with the crank !!!Now I just need some Muscle to get it on my stand so I can wash it really good !!Then put my pistons and rods together and see what I have for in hole depth !That way I can make my final decision which way I'm going to go with this build !!Have I said how much I hate the decision making process ??:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
