ok guy and girl's ,i have been on here for some time but had to make a new user name ,my name is Anthony im 23 ,i have a 80 dodge aspen 4 door and im from Delaware ,i have a stock slant six that i have wanted to hot rod for years well time as went by as i have done nothing,the car has gotten in poor shape over them years ...its to the point i cant stand it siting there any more my grand mother left it when she past in 2010 so its time to do the work to it to get it back up and on the road ,now u know the back ground on the car heres were i want some help?

seam as alot of the parts are becoming hardener to find to so this is a big point of me getting it done now !!

ok cams whats out there, how do they work in a slant six? i seen a man on YouTube and then to 2 days to try and find out what the cam he has is its a solid roller cam .....think he owns the"RUSTER"...also will the hooker truck headers if the cars ? i love of they come up then then go back down ?


im not looking for all out power 200hp would be cool but the look is very inporten to me and i want a nice sound car will see mostly car shows maybe some drag racing at the east cost slant six meet's im going to try and see if i can make it to the mason dixon drag way in oct


also on the head i understand the ports casting are very poor and a clean up will help alot? what kinda valves can be run in this and how far can you shave the head? i have seen .100 and .140

thanks for any and all info as it seams to be scattered all over the place !!

and has my friend from eBay (xhaul) say's "we slant six guy's gotta stick together! "

Hi 80aspanade
I think a good place to plan an upgrade of your car and engine, is the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) in the engine section. Among other vital tips, there is an Engine Build Matrix. It will probably give you some guidance. Have you browsed the Articles? Lots of info! (link in the FAQ).
I suggest you start by diagnosing your engine and driveline, and bring them up to specs. What work do you need to do? Do you have to bore out the cyllinders? Do you have to replace the valves in the cylinder head anyway?
Step two would be to ensure your running platform - the car - is in decent order, and fit to take the upgrades.
Step three would most likely be connected to money; what is your spesific performance goal, and how much do you want to spend to get there? Do you have a list of workshops nearby, that you can trust to do the machine work?
Then you can start to collect the parts you need.
It's an educational process, and a lot of work and frustrations, but extremely rewarding when you see the result! We're here to support you. Good luck!

Olaf
