Getting close to installing this mini monster into my 69 Valiant 2 door. I have the full four piece pulley set ready for additional power gains as it all works in. It is backed by a 4 speed from a 383 Dart, 9 inch dual disc Ram clutch and for now a 3:23 sure grip. The goal is to have it on the road by June.

Whatever you do don't lift the hood around anybody. Tell them it's a leaning tower of power and blow their doors off. They will be spending money for more nitrous the next day. lol

Cool looking setup!

Any idea of what kind of horsepower/torque you’ll have? Should be a real sleeper! Nice looking car. Really like the color.
 
With the large pulley on it as it came, it will add 150hp to the 250hp the modified engine made. I bought three smaller pulleys with the kit, and was told by the manufacturer that the smallest pulley will add 500hp. So I’ll start it with 400hp, and end up a year or so down the road with 650hp….and engine parts all over the road if I’m not prepared. I have several spare engines. People asked why a slant six? Every one else in my club (West Coast Mopars) with a modified engine are all V8s. I wanted to be different. The colour is Crystal Blaze Red, a 2007 Chrysler Caravan colour.

Good luck. Engine Masters started with a 215HP NA /6 and didn't even make it to 350HP with the TS.
 
Jealous :) Have been considering cancelling my order for heads and just doing a TS instead til the bottom end gives up :)

I think you’re a little (a lot) optimistic in your hp goals although I applaud your willingness to be different. May I ask what fuel you will run? And why no intercooler?

They popped a shitty head gasket, with a lot of SCR, there are Slantys making way more than 350hp out there boosted. A lack of detonation, steel-shim/Cometic/copper&o-ring gaskets, & ARP head studs & that will take it well beyond that.....but will the current head, or bottom-end, that's the question.
 
I love it man ...im jealous...get you a set of 3.91 cogs ...your gonna need em

I don't know if I would spin a 225 that tight. This thread is over a year old. I wonder if the OP didn't get it running and scattered it. Forced induction engines need a strong bottom end. Slants could use a couple more main bearings. They have their limits.

Let's see how long the PowerNation Slanty holds up making 517Lb-ft by 4K, so far so good, and that at 11psi. Haven't seen what project They were going to transplant it in yet.
 
TorqStom does some nice work. I have talked to them at the Nats a few years back.
