: I was wondering if anyone has a recipe for a
: high torque rather than a high horsepower
: slant six. This is to be used in a 1980 2wd
: d100 with a 833 overdrive, 3.55
: differential. I am looking for gas mileage
: and more pulling power. Any ideas would be
: appreciated.

: A "Long Rod" 232 (o/s bore)and adding
: stroke to the crank of you have the $$$.
: A short overlap cam and a long "ram
: style" intake would do the trick.
:
: Some minor head porting work focusing on
: voloicity should be done along with improved
: exhaust.
: DD

: What kind of cam profile to maximise torque at
: 2500 RPM with stock valve size?

: I am going to be getting a 4wd 66 powerwagon
: shortly...I was also thinking of ideas for
: high torque. Would it be crazy to use a
: hyperpack on a truck? I think the long
: runners would promote low and midrange
: torque.-anyway I also wanted to look into
: stroking like you mentioned. I live in Pa
: and none of the machine shops in the area
: will even think of stroking the crank for
: less than $1000 plus-and nobody has time to
: do it. Doug you mentioned $500-is this an
: old dollar amount?? has anybody else created
: a 260 cuin. slant yet besides doug.-How is
: it holding up??? I was thinking that a 260-w
: dutra duals and a large 2 bbl w/ small
: 260degree? cam would do nice along w/some
: head work. Would I be able to mail you $$$
: for a crank???. The truck has 4.10
: axles-4spd- and 33 in tires. Any input would
: be appreciated. as always thank you for the
: help.

: Why not turbo it instead? Might be less money
: in the long run than a stroker, and maybe a
: good bit more power. You'll have plenty of
: underhood room.

: I am looking to turbo my 74 swinger right now.
: I love the idea of boost. But i am going to
: tow w/the truck.. everybody says I can not
: tow/wturbo because I will melt pistons, etc.
: If I could keep the pyro temps down that
: would be fine. I was also looking at
: junkyard scavenging a blower of supercoupe
: or 3.8 GM. Any input would be appreciated

: You could limit boost while towing and run alky
: injection to lower combustion temps. Good
: exhaust and seats would be a must. If you
: watched egt, you could get by.
: I've looked at the 3.8 GM superchargers, as
: well as the 6 cyl ford tbird
: blowers......don't know how complex they
: would be.
: Dave

:
: I am leaning toward the belt driven sys or
: stroker for simplicity-if I boost-about 5-6
: psi would be plenty-I don't want to have the
: expense and hassle of alky injection-I am
: very unknowledgeable in this area.-any ideas
: would be appreciated. I want simple reliable
: power but is always available.-the truck
: will be daily driven so reliability takes
: priority-but of course it must be an SL6-
: Thanks guys
