I loved that slant six build, especially since they gave it to an owner who would really appreciate it.
Idea was cool, problem is they build it like a v8.. trust me on this. This build sucks on the lower Rpm and wastes loads of hp.
That's the biggest problem. Simple v8 builds don't really work with a six. Better to spend your time different!
@@gorkzop i dont see how they tested it from 2000rpm
@@bigsean2473 exactly.. original peak torque is at 1800rpm. Get a good cam.(and with a good street can you don't get over 4500rpm) 2bbl or 400cfm 4bbl. Dutra dual and intake heat.. you'll get 150horses atleast
@@gorkzop IIRC most dyno's dont really star/read before 3000 rpm or so, if im not mistaken.
I wish they would have taken it for a drive afterward, or at least gotten the owner's (or wife's) thoughts after delivery. He didn't seem like a car guy, but I'd have loved to know what he thought of the final result.
I love when they help real people out. Ken is genuinely happy and amazed at the increase of HP.
The only thing that’s missing on that engine stand is a 300 straight six 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
yesssss - I can't wait!
They did it!!!
"Sounds like a skyline motor " lol gotta love the sound of a straight six,no matter who makes it.
If they knew Japanese motors they would have caught on that it sounds like a naturally aspirated carbed version of a Nissan L28
This makes me happy seeing a bunch of buds wrenching and making some power
The look on Pat's face whenever he first hits the throttle at the dyno control board.
More of this! We've seen so many LS builds and Coyote swaps it's nice to see something different =)
more barra builds
Can't help but have a huge smile with all these straight 6 and slant 6 builds. My face hurts from it. Of course I'll take any of these engines. 6 or 8 plugs makes no difference to me. That 292 turbo dyno numbers blew my mind. Big fan of the 292 and the 300. Makes me want to get both and jabe some fun. Thanks guys for all your excellent knowledge and keep em coming.
71 duster. I got a 63’ Cadillac Deville with the original matching numbers drivetrain and runs like a champ. Mine is 57 YEARS OLD!!!
We raced these back in the 70's, bored them 125 over, used a ford piston that brought it up to the deck with 11-1 cr, ported the crap out of the Aus truck head & I built tunnel ram intakes for them with a sideways Q-Jet.
Duster has, by FAR, been my favorite build yet!👍
Would absolutely love a hellephant in a duster...
We built a stroker flathead a few years back with a single 4 bbl, it is no joke how little these engines respond to tuning/timing/etc. Ours bubbled out to 165 corrected HP. Certainly a cool sounding engine.
3 main bearings is barely enough for a twin-cylinder. It’s amazing that a heavy duty $800 forged crank is only good to 250hp when the same amount of the same steel from the same company is good for 1000hp in a small block. There’s just no support in the bottom end.
@@paulmccoy2908 thankfully you can get other straight sixes...
Those were all super impressive. Not a Chevy guy but low and slow was killer with that torque and that FE makes me wanna go pull mine out and refresh it.
these are the builds that please the crowds
I remember when Star Trek use to do clips episodes. It always felt like they were saying "Here's a bunch of blenderized reruns mid season, ostensibly stitched together as a story". In reality, it was "We need to fill space with something more than dead air".
Thankfully engine power recaps are built from content that serves a purpose. It showcases the awesome content you could be watching if you hit that subscribe button.
Every video is very professional and enjoyable to watch. Great job guys!
Love watching the engine builds , as a suggestion for future builds be cool if Truck tech or Engine power did a budget friendly rebuild of a 6.2 Detroit diesel and use the 6.2 diesel engine that Carcass did not use in there build . =)
That would be cool as hell
Thankx Guys! You really lightend up the weekend🤘👍
Cookies, coffee and engines. Good Saturday morning so far
That sounds nice, I have sausages and potatoes HA!
Cornbread and cocoa for me. :D
Thank you Mike and Pat!
That was really awesome!
I love these old COOL engines 💓
I enjoyed every episode highlighted, here. BUT, COME ON, GUYS. A clip show!?
I love this show. Thanks guys
Love the 6 cyl comming back to life great job
Good on you fellas always great to see your work 👍😃
Man I miss my flatheads. I had two 1949 Ford coupe with the 239 flathead v-8's. I swapped one of the little ford with a 255 Mercury flathead, 3 deuce manifold, aluminum heads, headers and a full race cam. That SOB would run like crazy. I had a ton of various parts, two deuce manifolds, straight headers, etc. Unfortunately I spent 20 years in the Air Force and when I got out in 1992 my dad had gotten rid of everything before he died. There was also a '57 Merc station wagon with a 312 Y Block that I wanted to swap into one of the '49's. Man what I wouldn't give to have all that back again...
I would definitely appreciate the 390 build
That was a great episode👌
This is such a good show!
Wow guys I have not been this excited to see such a sweet build! The last time I saw this type of build is when I accidentally found a 331 hemi, it looked just as crusty, and hopeless looking uh but was worse, in less than 3 hours, I was absolutely and totally convinced it was TOAST! And the only thing left was the heads which were saved and rebuilt and succesfully used again with good results, uh but only the valve covers, those heads and the intake, and the crank. And when I was done, I sold the whole wreck for $300.00 which of course you know was insignificant, but unfortunately my block was just far less than worthless, because as Im sure you already dont have to guess the block had rusted yep all the WAY clean thru the cylinders, and about 90% thru the water jackets, and I was very saddened but not at all surprised water and iron just aren't 2 forgiving Period! And my short ass build was over in less than a heart beat! WAH WAH CRY BABY WAH!!!
I loved my 225 slant 6 in my 67 barracuda convertible
I love inline 6s, I cant wait for the 300 i6 once tall start on it
Just got my 300 straight 6 to start up today im excited
One masterpiece after another✨
Love these obscure engine builds.. can you guys build me a slant six... ? Lol
Would love to see a Ford 292ci V8 Y-block build!! Unique, vintage...and a classic engine for 60's Fords!
I had a 59 ford with a 292 would like to see that build also.
Aye love the videos
Love to see more vintage engine builds whether it be a straight 6 or a flat head V8. Seeing to much modern engine builds/swaps. I have nothing against modern engines its just too common and I love seeing classic engines being brought back to life and running
Love those FE's
Chrysler wins this category!
When a friend bought a barracuda 1960's bubble back slant 6 window put duel quads . Bored 2 over full cam don't know hp. But he took a lot of $$$$$$$ on 8mi in Detroit. Wheels always cam off the ground I 2nd gear.
I had 70 coronet I ran the hell out of it. Drove for Denver to Miss State in 24 hours in 1974. I give $550 for it. The values sound like they where going to come of the top of the more. My neighbor who found it. Thor hi to buy a can of transmission fluid. When we pick it out I rode around the corner and poured it in the motor. By the time I home the values were quit.
Beautiful!!! Try my Northstar engine to build. Love y'all!!!
Yes I love the old engines would love to have that Jeep 4.0 that they built
John here had a slant 6 in dodge dart convertible.love it super gas miles quick start speed on highway. Love it miss it. Like better than my 1964 as impala with 327.well almost.lol.
You could order the slat six with with a four barrel carb these engines only had 4 main bearings and were notorious for breaking crankshafts ...if you want to build a hot inline six ..get a 292 Chevy truck engine with a forged steel crankshaft and rods and use the cylinder head from a 194 Chevy II Engine..cut the head bolt bosses out from inside the intake ports and use head studs inside the intake ports.. Cut the intake valve seats out and replace them with z/28 302 valve seats and use 302 intake valves that are 2.02 inches in diameter ..get a cam and two fours intake manifold from Clifford Research .and run two Holley 750 cfm carbs ..and beat most V8's or do the same with a 300 cu. In. Ford inline truck six ..and ask Clifford research what the hot set up is to hot rod the ford sixes...either way you should be seeing in the 500hp range at the rear tires on a dyno-jet in a early Chevy II or a early mustang ..anyways that's what we got out of them in the 70's in the hot rod classes at the NHRA tracks running in the 7's for 1/8 mile and at Lincoln Park dirt track when 6 cylinders were the rules for the bombers and hobby stock
Hey guys tv shows watched them all what about doin a chevy 5.0 305 and a chevy 307 and do some build up on them
The Slant 6 is near bullet proof..............👍
Would of loved to see the complete flat head build. have never seen cam, lifters, valves , valve springs installed on these engines. Guess i will have to keep waiting for a video of this step of engine build.
Just search Ford Flathead rebuild on You Tube. Several videos come up. Hopefully at least one of them would have what you want to see.
I would like to see you guys finish my 60 thunderbird with that ford fe you built
paint job big brakes how cool
I have a ford aod 4 speed overdrive and 4.11 gears and limited slip to install
More of this please. And feature the Ford Y block
Really fun enjoyable ant interesting video
Nice!
I wish y’all would do a 3.0L 7M-GE build and see how much power you can make I think it would be an awesome way to throw everyone off from the original Ford and GM engines
I would love to see you build an old Pontiac OHC straight 6 and for revs, not just HP.
Man I want to see an international harvester slant 4. It's such a weird engine and can use right side parts if their 304 v8.
Muy buen video tengo una Dodge 200 furgón en Argentina y tiene ese fantástico slant six mi marido lo ama
A lot of people never had the valves adjusted, the older ones didn’t have hydraulic lifters.
10:15 that water hose is twisted
Tha FE is a beast
It might be fun to see what you could do with a Chevy 235.5 stovebolt 6
Would love to see something on the old iron duke.....
yes! Unsung hero of the workhorse engines.
I have one!!
The straight six really rocked my world. Good job people.
would love to see a boosted barra done by theses guys
V8 engines came out before Ford ever brought theirs out. They just couldn't stay together long enough LOL. Ford made a v8 that actually stayed together and that's why the flathead got to be the engine as we know it today. My favorite and only Ford engine I really liked was the 390 FE. The cool factor for the Chrysler slant six is definitely great, but I want a Chevy straight 6 myself.That turbo Chevy you built is just right for me:D
Could you guys hot rod my Continental F-163? I am so curious to see what kinda power it makes
That FE was epic. I was thinking galaxy over a truck. Or 64-66 t bird.
Agreed! In fact, I built a similar 445 cid stroker FE for my 64 T-bird. I love it! I built it before the Trick Flow heads were available - I think those are a step up from the Edelbrock units I’m using. The FE is one cool engine.
uncle tony is who to watch for slant six
revisiting old builds?? i sure hope you guys aren't running out of material. engine power is my favorite show
Sweet
Nice kink in the top hose. Check out tuffr6 if you want to see a slant 6
I love those slant 6's, however why not do one on the infamous 5.4 liter Ford Triton?
8:40 Neat hardware saving trick, tthanks.
Had a 65 Ford short bed with a 390 police intercepter and 3 on the tree, only problem it kept grenading the transmission .
What’s the holdup on that 410 MOPAR?...... We need an update.
Try an intelligent turbo setup on the 225. Keep the rpm's under 5k get the setup aimed at lower rpm's and i think you will be surprised.
Can you do something with the Peugeot Xd3 diesel
See if you can get more pens in that shirt pocket. LOL
we called them "Hill-side Hemis" a friend had a slant-six w/ 2-4 bbls in a 63 Valiant wgn beat most cars on the street. Alittle known factoid...the sparkplug tubes and seals were also used on the street hemi!!!!
the cars that valiant beat weren't racing ......
hey pat, do you have a pen or a mini screwdriver i could use? i cant find mine
Here in Brazil this Chevy L6 reaches 2000cv for drag racing
Am I the only one that would be interested in seeing them build the 5.7 v8 from Toyota trucks ??
Yep.
Due to the inherent durability, the slant six loves to be turboed.
Ok Guys I have a Build for you, Think about doing a Ardun conversion ,on a ford flat head motor, Put a set of Hemi Heads.
I wish they would have at least wrapped the headers on that Slant6. The heat emanating from the exhaust has to warm that intake quite a bit. I'm new to this so I might be wrong but it seems to make sense....?
You're right.
Interesting, i never see an engine that slanted abit , good ideas for some new model engine to copy those old knowledge😉
You guys should try a crossfire 305.
You guys should build a Ford Y-block
What happened to the ‘61 Impala? Did you guys quit on it?
That 292 was badass...
The flathead makes the same power as a 2012 VW Jetta Turbo Diesel. Still a good motor for the time.
a flat head 6 from chrysler was much more durable.
Don’t forget the 300 in-line project
Love the old slant six, my dad had one here in Australia in a car called a Valiant which was considered a big car in Australia but I imagine it might have been called a medium or compact car in America back in those days. My dad got a company car and the valiant was left unused for about six months and one day we thought we’d start it up and with just one short turn of the key it was instantly chugging away as if it was fully warmed up. What the hell has happened to Chrysler Jeep, you hear terrible horror stories about the brand these days.
The 3.3 and 3.8 engines used mostly in chrysler vans are some of the most durable and reliable V6 engines around.
That ford flathead tho
need to do a big block GM V6
The one time I actually subscribed when he said to
These fellers need to get an Aussie 265 Hemi
I wonder if they've done anything with the Chrysler 4.7L?
The Australian variant of 1970 had 160hp using a twin throat Carter carby.
I've got an old chevy 235 , and a 250, plus I've even got a ford 300. Trying to think of something to put them in. Love the show guys
