Turbo Slant 6 67 Barracuda 9.09 Seconds

Will Burns' and His Faaaast Turbo Slant 6 Barracuda Turbo Making some passes 5-15-2016

[@adriangonzalez9670]

Now I feel like an idiot for getting rid of my /6. This is breathtaking

[@lilmike2710]

I can't recall how many \6's I've yanked out and simply discarded. I lost count long ago.

[@seeharvester]

You knucklehead! JK

[@hyperpack]

Will is making possibly some of the fastest Slant 6 Passes in History!

[@tmmurphy]

lol, I recall driving my mom's old Volare wagon in high school / college and thinking: "this turd is so slow but I've been trying to kill it for years and can't!" Then I read up on the history of the engine. How it was supposed to be aluminum and how it was overbuilt as cast iron. Now I have new respect for it. I was still running 3 or 4 owners later. I'd still see it in parking lots with my high school and Uni stickers on it. Still had the dent in the fender where I was checking out coeds with mini skirts and clipped a parking sign with the bumper. Good but slow times.

[@Bozo1360]

Does he run a 727 behind that?

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Wow doin it different and I love that. F**k V8s 🤣👍🏻

[@slant6racer]

Built 904

[@hyperpack]

@@Bozo1360 nope its a stout 904! Thanks for the info Will. With the correct parts and modifications you can get the 904 to work behind some pretty wicked small blocks / slants. And they are waaay lighter so that will zap less horsepower from your engine.

[@Jgspeedshop]

Slant sixes just won’t quit

[@strattuner]

slant 6 is a steel motor,steel crank steel rods and a bulletproof block,there' s no end to the fun,everything you do increases hp cheaper than a v8,less breakage

[@strattuner]

I worked for mopar for years all of the slants up to 1975 were steel,the best ones were 1965-71,but they were all battle ready

[@peteloomis8456]

strattuner They aren't cheaper to build for racing compared to a V8 take a look at Clifford 6=8 & see how expensive parts are for any 6s be it Chevrolet Mopar or Ford ! I would bet in order for this engine here to get into the 9s there are a lot of custom made internals inside along with some serious stuff done to the head it self to get it to flow good enough for the turbo do it's job. I always wanted to build a 6 for the fun of it being I used to build engines at a speed shop GM Ford Mopar stuff so I looked into building a 6 & it's quite bit more to build one compared to most of the popular V8 engines while the 6 still makes much less HP & torque so it really isn't cost effective to build one for racing. The leaning tower of power is a great engine had a few my self & the early ones used the same crank shaft bearings as a 440 & 426 Hemi does so very strong but I have seen a few that were blown up with a hole in the block from a rod letting loose so they definitely aren't indestructible. I would also bet this here engine has a filled block with hardener to stiffen it up more to support the high pressure that the turbo is pushing to get the HP it's making to get into those 9s so the cylinders aren't moving around flexing & loosing ring seal & power, probably sleeved as well so it has thicker cylinders to add strength as well. Either way this is very impressive being those 6s aren't easy to make serious power with or cheap to do !

[@Bartonovich52]

Ours did. POS engine.

[@Shade_tree_garage01]

Any inline 6/slant 6 made by Chevy, ford or dodge will not quit.

[@badstimpy]

In Australia , we had 215 , 245 and 265 CI Hemi straight 6 engines. Some performance variants had triple weber carbs with decent long tube extractors and in a Mopar called a charger.

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

but they arent hemi's it was just shitty marketing

[@keithdmaust1854]

Back in day I was at a hill climb. Last round it looked like a Hemi Jeep was going to take first place. Up comes a 6 cylinder that destroyed the Hemi. It was unbelievable!

[@marksommers6764]

Grandpa had a slant 6/auto in a 61 Valiant Station wagon . It had well over 300K miles and never had the valve cover off !

[@masterdebater8757]

Not taking the valve cover off to service a solid roller valve train before 300k miles isn't that much to brag about. Your grandpa should have had those covers off every 5k miles or so to inspect the lash. That's 60x he neglected that engine! If your going to brag on reliable engines at least do it with a proper comment and mechanical knowledge of what your talking about.

[@michaelphillippi4676]

I was going to ask the same question. How do u adjust the valves. I bet grandpa never personally took valve covers off, but his tune up guy did and grandpa did not know. No blood no foul.

[@Mr.Beastforpresident]

I had a 2008 Chevy 2500 6.0 Vortec with 541,000+ miles 13,000+ engine hours. Never took the valve covers off, truck never left me even when a valve dropped at 541,000 miles, still drove it home 20+ miles.

[@martentrudeau6948]

It's great engine, Slant 6 were built from 1959 to 2000, 41 years they were built. It is an under rated engine by many, but it also loved by many.

[@79tazman]

I'm a fan my first car had one and I still have a car and truck with them in it for a engine that is reliable and will get you from A to B without a issue the slant six can't be beat

[@Mr.Beastforpresident]

I thought the last Slant 6 was in 1983? What vehicle in 2000 came with a Slant 6?

[@Mr.Beastforpresident]

Marten Trudeau They say some slant sixes get 30 MPG's. What's the last year they made the slant six in a truck? I thought it was 1983 I wonder it it's possible to get 20+ MPG's on a slant six with upgrades like a lighter aluminum performance intake manifold, ignition coils and fuel injection?

[@Mr.Beastforpresident]

Marten Trudeau Would you happen to know who's the most knowledgeable best Slant 6 engine builder in the U.S.? Also do you think this engine is capable of 1 Million Miles without a rebuild if built correctly? My 2008 Chevy 2500 6.0 Vortec had 541,000+ miles 13,000+ engine hours before it dropped a valve

[@richarddelinski1489]

That's awesome! Once upon a time I had a '68 Valiant 4 door w/ a 225 slant 6. No way I knew then that they could be souped up like this. Terrific time passes with that beautiful car as well.

[@michaelnorman9962]

[@WebNstyne]

[@jeffallbright4449]

Good night in the morning! Slant sixes were never known for their power, but reliability. They were grocery getters, low cost transportation for the masses. If you've ever driven one that's bone stock you know how gutless these things are. This is incredibly impressive! Well done sir!

[@hyperpack]

[@slant6racer]

Thank YOU

[@mothertree]

I beg to differ with you about the slant 6`s being "Gutless". I have owned and rode in a quite a few 225`s that run really well and as we can clearly see if a car guy puts his mind to it they can open a can of woopazz on a V-8 right nicely.My congrats to the man who owns this car !

[@strangelyfamiliar1729]

its ironic, and i know by no means uncommon, how his 1st pass was the longest but also had the highest speed. to most people not familiar with drag racin they would think, and understandably so, that higher speed will always equal lower times but this, evidently, is not the case is it

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

@@strangelyfamiliar1729 he was losing traction early, then hooked. The next run was quicker but LOTS slower through the trap, maybe let off at the end to not breakout of his bracket? The last run was perfect traction and reaction with the quickest time and back at 139mph!

[@dtrooperVideo]

@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 "best engine" was from the perspective of durability, not of HP potential. There is rarely a replacement for displacement, so aside from forced induction and maybe the latest 5.0 coyote engine, size really does matter.

[@peteloomis8456]

Dylan McCallister You will find out the 6 will cost quite a bit more to build & it will make less power compared to the 340 !

[@philtripe]

@@troymi1648 it was not super charged, it had tripower with a Ford aircleaner...which tells you just how few of those were built and they didnt really have any more power than the regular 340 that had 310hp and 340 tq which quite honestly was difficult for anyone to recreate in the real world and when i say difficult i mean it never really happened as 340's today struggle to top 295hp even with modern cams, pistons, ignition, carbs or even fuel injection.

[@44hawk28]

@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 the original Slant-6 was actually a race engine and it was all aluminum. The iron version was underpowered yet it was almost impossible to get it to stop running. I have seen them run with no oil for miles and miles. I even know of one case where men bought a brand new Dart with a slant 6 and drove it for 79,000 miles before it wouldn't start. They ask him when he last check the oil and he didn't even know he had to check the oil or change it. He had left the original oil in the engine from the day he bought it. Why do you think all of those commercials where they put slick 50 in in engine in the drain the oil ins sit there and let the engine run are a there a slant 6 Chrysler engine or a small block 318. Please read my post, at no time did I ever say it was the best engine ever I implied that it was as reliable and agendas you could find. So please check your drugs.

[@steveskouson9620]

The major issue with the Leaning Tower of power, is the bottom end design. Crank only has 4 journals, instead of the 7 most other sixes have. But, those 4 main journals, are the same size as the 2nd Gen Hemi. (And, it only has 5.) steve

[@79tazman]

If there was a issue with the Slant's bottom end it would not be holding together with a 9 second pass the more journals is just causes more friction anyway that's why bigger and less is better :)
