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.

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.
