Mopar Slant Six

Any of you guys play with the slants? I'm looking for someone who makes forged pistons that won't require selling my wife.

 

Ahhhh, the leaning tower of power. I don't know about forged, but I think Enginetech has Hypereutectic pistons for the slant six, remember forged pistons are expensive no matter what motor you have.

 

Last i checked there are no off the shelf pistons for the slant that are forged. I would use stock cast before I would use hyperpathetics.

You don't need forged unless you are running a very serious slant also.

 

Waddya doing to the engine? If you're looking for Mo Power, it's hard to beat a turbo. And if you're gonna go turbo, it's hard to beat a bone stock engine. Low comp, go pre 76 and you'll have a forged crank, hard combo to beat.

The Cox brothers at 614-268-9920 race /6's and sell speed parts for these motors.

I'm will be putting one in my 51 Plymouth (some self promotion follows):

 

I'm find your slant motor very appealing. I think the thing I liked the least about them was the distributer location. Is there a viable alternative to this?

The old Hyperpack was based on the 170 which allows for some higher revs. The 225 has a long 4 inch stroke. The torque it makes allows for happy existance in trucks and large cars.

 

Is there a viable alternative to this?

Not to by knowledge. However, in my case I will be running an electric fuel pump and remote oil filter system, so it cleans up that side of the block.
