has anyone tried to get good power out of a slant six? i have a 225 i'm building i already have the head at the machine shop but am trying to think of some things i should do. the shop is going to shave it down so i can get as much compression without having to change the push rods also having it ported polished, etc everything. i have a cam 264/264 duration and .440/.440 lift. and im also planning on getting a 4 barrel intake and a header. any tips on more performance would be helpful. thanks

 

Pistons are way down in the hole... Push rods are not that big of a deal to get made.... Have talked with MadMax over on A-Bodys????

 

Oh...Welcome to the site...

Good Balance Job always helps the bottom end...

Nothing like a good "Buzzen Half Dozen"...

 

Hop it up and get the power of a used up 318........

All joking aside, a hotrod straight six is cool!

 

Careful.. Dont laugh too hard... That bad boy holds a N.H.R.A. record for E.T. and MPH and also holds a Bonneville Record for it's class....

The car at some point broke a tie rod end and got crashed, The owner is currently sourcing parts for finish putting it back together...And Hopping to reset some more Records...

At any rate.... I would Try to get the pistons move closer to the deck...

Love this car also.....

 

Anyone that's hoped up an inline 6 better have thick skin because your going to hear it all.... I am old enough to have been involved with a few, my favorite was a Chevy that had an idle of 900 rpm and sounded like a coffee can full of lugnuts but going through the gears it would make your ear drums bleed.

 

How about leaving it sorta stock and add a turbo, some forged pistons, aftermarket rods

 

The Guy around these parts were Chevy/Ford guys hot rodding the 6's....
