My 78 colt is starting to puff a little smoke and I am trying to decide on rebuilding the 1.6 or if it is feasible to drop a 225 in. I guess the biggest issue is would it fit without destroying the firewall? |

Sure, it's feasible. I put a slant into the front of an '81 Challenger. If one adjusts and modifies anything enough, it'll fit.************************************************************* Quote: I guess the biggest issue is would it fit without destroying the firewall?
Um.....No. As in the above mentioned Chally, the firewall is going to have to get bumped back. I might even have concerns about hood clearance in a Colt.I think it'd be a sweeter deal to find a turbo 2.2 and shoehorn it into that Colt. Now, THAT would be an exciting little car. Good luck.....Roger |

Slants have been done in a Colt. And one is being built in Texas right now, although I don't think he is worried about the firewall issue! One of the early slant six cars into the 11's was a Colt from out on the West coast. I believe his name was Jerry Ellard, but don't quote me. Rick |
