Use expert advice to rebuild your Slant Six engine to make it run like it did on the showroom floor - or modify it to perform even better
Author Doug Dutra walks you through every aspect of disassembly, evaluation, rebuild, and reassembly in an easy-to-read, step-by-step format. The book also covers modifications, showing how to squeeze the most out of your engine. The year 1960 was an important one in auto manufacturing; it was the year all of the Big Three unveiled entrants in a new class of car called the compact. Chrysler's offering, the Plymouth Valiant, was paired with its all-new 6-cylinder engine entrant: the Slant Six, known by its nickname the “leaning tower of power.” The slant six powered Valiants (and the companion Dodge Lancers) swept the top seven positions in the newly christened compact race that precluded the Daytona 500. With its legacy intact, Chrysler's Slant Six-powered Plymouths and Dodges were offered for decades to come in three displacement offerings: 170, 198 and 225. With millions of Slant Six engines built over the 30-plus years that the engine was produced, it’s always a good idea to have this book handy, as you never know when the next “leaning tower of power” will find its way into your garage. 8.5" x 11". 144 pages
Review
"If you have a Slant Six and are even halfway entertaining the idea of doing any work to it, this is the best investment you'll ever make." (MoPar Collector's Guide 2019-04-19)
