Two slants in-line under one bonnet would look something like this:

well i messed with the sound a little bit, and this might possibly be semi-close to the sound it will have, minus the echo-e effect..

http://members.cox.net/jdsanchez473/slant6-12.mp3

In reality it would prob. sound different, as i didn't do this in any precise manner, i have no idea how many degrees these tracks are off, i just cut a little off one track so they are offset to get a semi-sorta idea of what it could possibly sound like..

Oh and with help from a member of another forum i'm on quite a bit (quad4fourms.com) i've figured out how to get a really neat sound out of this setup. Take 6 cylinders, divided by 360 degrees of rotation, you get one piston firing every 60 degrees, so if you had the motors 30 degrees out of sync one way or another, there would technically be 12 individual audible fires, instead of six if they were straight up. Anyone have a sound clip of a slant 6? I'm thinking i could use audacity (sound editing program) to copy the sound file into two separate tracks and offset them to try and get an idea of what it will sound like.
That's only if it was a 2-stroke engine...........

With 4 strokes, it's 120 degrees.

So you want them 60 degrees off...........

It takes 2 crankshaft rotations to fire all 6 cylinders so the firing interval is 120°.

Also, I like the engines side-by-side. Keep the right one slanted and stand the left one up. Put big toothed pulleys like they use for blower drives on the front of both cranks, use a flywheel and empty bellhousing on one and take take the drive off the other. You'll be able to use two starters so cranking won't be a problem, both water pumps for good water flow, etc.

now you have me considering this setup... i'll have to do more thinking on how to couple them. I guess i could use a big blower belt, i know they get about as much power put threw them as were dealing with here, i just wonder how long it will last, and how to pull the slack out and keep it out when you get on it.

If you use a big blower belt, might as well have a BIG BLOWER too.......

Then you can put a propeller on the front to help pull you along...
