So, there's a guy over on FABO claiming there was a 251 c.i. slant six as an option in Dodge trucks in the early 60's. Any truth to that? http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/sho ... 718&page=3 |

"Also of note is in the arly 60's there was a rare 251 cubic inch slant six made and it came in pickups and larger trucks as an optional engine..." According to This site, the 251 was a flat head engine.. not a slant. So, to answer your question, no there is no such thing as a factory 251 slant. Seems he is a bit off on a few other things as well... There ya go! ~THOR~ |

Yep, the 251 is a flathead. There is no 251 slant-6. There is also no 240 slant-6, despite mention of a "special 240CID truck slant-6" in amongst other errors of fact in literature published over the years, some of it from sources who should've been reliably authoritative. And there's also no "special 252 truck slant-6" (that one comes from transposing the 2nd and 3rd digit in "225"). But you know how it goes…repeat something often enough and it becomes "common knowledge", true or not. |
