Slant Six Forum :: Super six search

: Well everyone. I have learned that looking for
: slant sixs in boneyards is not like looking
: for a needle in a haystack, which is how I
: thought it would be. They are actually not
: hard to find. Looking for the 2 bbbl super
: six setup however, is like looking for a
: dropped nut in a chevy 350 engine
: compartment.

In the past two weeks I have
: found about 14 slant six engines at local
: boneyards. Of the 14, about 10 had the stock
: 1 barrel manifold and the rest didn't have
: any intake or exhaust.
:
: Does anyone know of any boneyards in or around
: Los Angeles, or just Southern California
: area? Anyone have a spare from former engine
: project? Also, I have a 65 Valiant 170
: manual 3 spd. When people are selling super
: six setup with kickdown linkage, can I still
: bolt it in? Thanks.

: I had the same problem. It took me 3 weekends
: of searching boneyards. I finally found one
: in a '77 Volare. I suggest you look for a
: Volare or Aspen.
:
: Good Luck,
: Gary

: Alex- How badly do you want the setup? I have a
: Super Six intake manifold, no carb, no air
: cleaner, and about 1/3 of the complete
: kickdown linkage. I could probably fab
: something up for the rest of the linkage and
: you could snag a 318 carb and modify the
: choke to work on a six. Let me know if you
: are interested.

: Reed
:
: P.S. I have been messing around with Super
: Sixes for a while now and I am very
: confident that anything I fabbed for you
: would work. Plus it would be cheap! Oh yeah,
: I live in Tacoma WA so it would all have to
: be shipped to you.

: Reed Do you ever get down to the Kelso area ?

The Super Six was not available in cars sold in California - I'm pretty sure of that. That may be why you are having difficulty finding one. Good luck finding one. They are usually available through e-bay. pmvdlaan@picusnet.com

I didn't look in Cal. because they were not sold here. I happened to be working in Florida and found several Super Six setups in a yard there (Volare). Maybe someone in that area could pick one up for you. Chuck webmaster@omnipages.com
