Planting Our Slant Six In The Miata

It started off as a whim, but now that we've dropped our 170 in place for the initial mock-up, this is starting to look like a pretty serious piece of machinery. Part Jag, part Vette, the Hillside Hemi has never found a cooler little home.

Hi Tony, I love what you're doing with the "Mopata"! With regards to the oil pan clearance issue, may I suggest swapping to an oil pan from a B-body instead of cutting the K-frame? I'm building two Slants myself right now, one came out of a '66 Belvedere, the other from my early A-body. Comparing the pans, the B-body sump sits about an inch or two rearwards of the A-body sump. Its also a little deeper under the last two cylinders, which is a good thing (for reasons you already know)! Cheers! Mikk from Canada

One of my first deliveries to them was a whole pickup full of parts and a slant 6 engine, when I went through the gate, headed towards a huge shop was a parking lot full of vans and probably 100 Plymouth Valiants, all equipped with slant 6 engines. Irwindale was the shop for all major repairs, we would rebuild or 2 engines a week for them.
