Engine is still running in Brian Droschak's '67 Dart (formerly Romeo's car). High 12s or low 13s at the strip. Slant on, Lou |

I read that one before as well, but it's good enough to read again. I remember an old Hot Rod article back in high school about hopping up the old 4 cylinder Nova engine. All my buddies thought it was stupid, just throw in a V8. I was intrigued by making power from an inline back then, and I guess the intrigue never left. Those old friends still don't quite get it. I guess they never will. (Interesting side trivia, GM made those old Nova 4 cylinders from 1962 at least until 2013 and sold them as boat motors, kinda along the same story lines as the slant). |

That motor also became the Pontiac Iron Duke.

The hot setup is take the crossflow Fiero head and adapt it to the larger (181-ish cubic inch) block. Has chevy smallblock crank flange and bellhousing.Oh how I wish Mopar had made an OHC 4 cylinder version of the slant six with V8 bellhousing. Then the fabled aluminum headed OHC slant could be a reality. |

Hyster used the 3.0 in lift trucks until about 2005 when they couldn't get them to pass EPA regs. |

Cool! No better plae for it. But you need another belt on your AC compressor and that breather needs to get plumbed in somewhere. |

I did take care of the breather. that video is from 7 years ago, but I still use and drive it in this configuration. The c-171 compressor does not work with a single pulley and a Clifford manifold. To use it with the Clifford manifold I had to modify the mounting a bit then add a double groove v-8 pulley and run the single belt in the rear groove. Greg |
