Slant Six guys?

[big blue galaxie]

Jones Cam Designs can put the cam together (704-489-2449). As for the head, I've been out of the loop for the Mopar folks for a minute. Just give Mike at Jones the headflow numbers and all the other variables he needs and he'll give you the right cam first time out.

Thanks Ed, this intake came off a 79. There's 7 more slant-six Aspen/Volare's in the wrecking yard to raid parts from, in case I made a boo-boo here.

Now, the cylinder head from the 78 is the same in 79, so I am ok there. I see the 79 factors better than a 78, so can I change intake manifolds and any other outside trim differences and call this car a 79? I thought I read about others doing similar things to other cars???

Aspen 7709, what if I may ask was causing head-gasket problems? Was your's in Stock?

I've seen a 1980 Apsen changed over to a 1976 Volare to run stock (360) it is
just front fenders, grill and tail lights being different.

One west coast stock racer in a S/W went from a 360 to the 318 when the HP
got added to the 360.

If your looking for just a fun stocker stay with the /6, you may also want to go
check out the /6 website (google it) and see what info is there.

Clifford Ind in Corona CA makes 4 bbr intakes (not for stock racing) and headers for the /6.

Fun is what I'm after, and trying something different always fits that bill for me. Heck, out of 3 tracks in the entire state, there's only one Divisional race near me, and two out-of-state that are 6 hours pull at least, so I won't be out setting the world on fire or working up to a Pro Stock ride ala Jason Line! Most of the time it'll be raced locally in brackets, but this is something I have always wanted to attempt.

Far as I can tell, there isn't any outside differences from a 78-79?

I have done some digging on slantsix.org for some ideas, a couple of real helpful guys here sent or are sending me some info, and I ordered the Mopar six cylinder engines book (somewhere around here I still have a Mopar Chassis one from around 99-00).

Thanks again everyone. I have raced pretty much everything, and nowhere on a forum or in a group have I found as many helpful and friendly people as on here. BIG kudos!

With Ed Fernandez on board....... and if you can blow the dust off of Billy Nees........ you could probably get the required info to have a pretty decent running slant six......... and maybe even a really fun stocker...... I always liked those things......... LOL

Dust perhaps....but no moss!!

[Joe Toller]

Ed has been a great help, I have Billy's email, and I'm ready to do a TON on studying, before I put a wrench to this thing. That, and I need some more snow to melt...

There is a group that races sl6's at Mopar meets.....google them at slant six racing.

By the way, some of them are running in the 10's at 1/4 mile.

Just dont run one in a high powered H/G 51 Anglia with a 4 speed like I did back in ther early 70's. They like to break the crank right at the flywheel flange. Motor will even stay running, just wont move the car. Thats why I changed over to a 300 Ford 6 after 3 of those breaking. I doubt it would be a problem in an automatic stocker.
