Re: Don's Letter!

[Dan McCormack <mcwheels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Unfortunately I'm one of the few people that managed to kill a slant six. I 
managed to spin #1 bearing in my 78 Dodge D-150 short bed driving it home 
form Ohio right after I bought it. I considered putting a V8 in it but when 
gas went over 3 bucks a gallon I decided to build a new slanty for it and 
I've never regretted the decision. It now has a Super Six 2 bbl. with 
hydraulic lifters and Dutra Duals with Smithy glass packs. It sounds great 
and gets more attention at shows then the Charger Hemi I used to own. It 
also pulls my Scotty camper without a problem.

Personally my favorite mag is Mopar Collector Guide. They always cover the 
Slant Six racing series. You gonna get in on that Don?
