: I was wondering if there are any benefits
: besides engine durability of the Slant Six.
: To a more specific extent, the 225ci Slant
: Six. I'm looking at a '74 Scamp with such an
: engine, and I am debating on whether to keep
: this engine or put in a 360. Any input on
: this would be very helpful.

: Besides the durability, the SL6 is easer and
: less expensive to operate and repair. The
: SL6 (in top condition) will run smoother
: then a V8 and it will get better MPG. If you
: want lot's of "wheel spinning"
: power, swap-in the 360.

: For me, it is the fact that a Slant car is
: different. Since I put the different motor
: in the Duster, it is amazing how many people
: have come over to see why my Duster sounds
: "weird", or to tell me how good it
: sounds. If I had a 340 or 360 it would be
: just another Duster. Dennis

: I have to agree with Dennis, the slant six
: looks (and is) unique. I haven't see any
: other inline engines that look like it.
: Reliability, easy to work on, and so many
: were built that parts as well as complete
: engines aren't hard to come by. As if that
: wasn't enough, I feel like I'm part of a
: brotherhood with all of these other slant
: six enthusiasts. Good people with lots of
: slant six knowledge. Works for me!

: Hey, both my Slant 6 Darts have "wheel
: spinnin' power" too!

: The novelty is a great thing too. Not too many
: people are weird enough to try building a
: Slant 6.
