Slant Six Score!

[RustyRatRod]

@/6 Matt was cool enough to message me about some slant stuff in Macon on Facebook Marketplace. I went out today and looked at all of it and made the guy an offer on it all and he took it. So I got 3 slant sixes and three transmissions. One 170 and a 904, one 225 and the A230 that I needed and what I think might be a 198 and another 904. I'm gonna check the numbers later and see. All three engines turn free and don't have any water in the oil. The transmission shifts smooth and feels good in all the gears. And the one I know is a 225 is a super six engine, complete with the intake manifold. Thanks, Matt. I do appreciate it.

Yup I noticed that, too. My long rod build is built in a BH block. I didn't know anything about them until Ed (@805moparkid) told me about them.

Supposedly it's a heavy duty thicker casting.

I just checked mine and I have one too. I never knew there's a difference.

 

[RustyRatRod]

Here's a funny one. When I want to Canton to look at and get the Valiant, I was disappointed that it had a 170. Of course, getting it home and getting it runnin, I realized it was very snappy. So when I saw the 170 in this bunch, I was almost jumpin up and down. Kitty said I was like a little kid when I saw the short bypass hose. LOL

It's pulled. But it's goin back in.

It wasn't pictured that I saw. It was just layin on the floor. The guy said he got ZERO local interest. none.

No I have six. I already had the 170 that's Vixen's, a spare 170 and the 225 long motor. Now I have three more. lol

There's no such thing as too many spares. They have not made them in over 35 years.

That's my thinking, too. I'm still lookin. LOL
