Slant 6 racecar

[wicked/six]

Building a slant drag car, To start it is 30 over stock build and will be shot with a 100 shot of nitrous.

It will look differant when done but that may take some time i will post pic's as it progresses. Should be a quick slant car if my plans work out!

That is going to be nice. I like the platform.

My Grandpa use to race 6cyls but he is worm food or I'd ask him some combo's

I found why the car won't go, The 70's motor put on the 63 tranny with no adaptor ring means it no move!!! Simple part will fix it but the converter i pulled of is a GER and i think it would save me money to buy a new Midwest converter...Also got a set of slicks for 1 hundred never been used!!

Oops!forgot pic. of my setup..I got rid of the Lokar setup(gas peddle and kickdown cables)put in a 72 demon gas peddle and rigged up my own throttle cable brackets.

Very nice Wicked :-D Keep us slant folks up dated :cheers:

Alright got the rims with the offset i need and the slicks, will install them and order a new converter then reassemble it! Junk yard finds and craigs list are keeping me within a buget!

cool! cant wait to see it finished. good to see another slant being used to its potential.

 

[wicked/six]

I think i will push it beyond it's potential but hey it's a learning prosses:twisted:

Ok i got the tires and rims mounted and started to spray the car, black front clip and primer on the rest. I am still trying to decide if i should go with a plate system or drill into the spacer below the carb for a fogger setup!

can stock internals on a /6 take 100 shot fine or is it pushing it just wondering

 

[wicked/six]

Keep the tune good and you can keep the stock internals alive up to 150 shot, Key is keeping the tune good i will learn more about that later!

[kidintheyard]

what times are you shooting for??

 

[wicked/six]

I would like to hit thirteens or faster but i may need to build up the engine more to get there.

I love your car. The best advise I can offer you though is buy a converter from a reputable company with proven performance (ie: a list of competive racers that use their product) you'll be tenths ahead. Turbo Action, Coan, ATI, Dynamic or such with proven Mopar experience. Stay away fromt the Midwest, GER and maybe even Hughes. I replaced a Hughes converter in my Duster with a Turbo Action and picked up 7 tenths.

A converter is not the place to skimp.

freaking sweet looking, more pictures!!!!!!!!

 

[wicked/six]

Thanks Guys! I'm not going to skimp the converter but i have a midwest 3k in the duster and it does what i was told it would do, half second off my 60'. Are there horror storys about them, just wondering?

I will get more pics as i go it's tucked away in the garage right now!

I don't know anyone that runs a Midwest converter and frankly I've never heard of them. Which is why I said in my opinion it's best to get a proven performer. GER on the otherhand, well, I guess you get what you pay for. Maybe they've gotten better but I've seen damn few cars running them.

One thing I would add is get some wrap for your headers, since your intake is so close to them.

I love the project, I had a '69 Rambler American 2 door sedan a few years ago and was toying with the idea of a big inch straight six with nitrous with a stock appearance. Got busy with other things and a friend wanted the car so I let it go.
