Location: Colorado, USA		The slant six has been regarded as a great candidate for turbocharging for over 20 years! The intake
and exhaust ports on the same side of the head, and the engine slant itself are physical advantages
for a turbocharger installation. Add to that the basic strong construction of the engine (forged cranks
from 1960 to 1980). MPFI and custom 'turbo' pistons would help greatly.
This engine should move the '60 Dodge down the road just fine. Me though, I'd want it for a first-gen
Valiant, full house with engine management, 18 PSI and maybe even a loud 'tuner' type blow-off valve
for sheer entertainment value License plates: "60 SRT-6"
The old poly V8 has a big advantage over the wedges for a turbo application, symmetrical exhaust ports!
No 'heatsink' siamesed exhaust ports a la Wedge/SB Chevy. 402 stroker Poly with twin turbos, anyone?

Location: Dellslow, West ("By God") Virginia !		Hey Einstine other slant 6 lovers! Check THIS out!
A Chry motor engineer(s) were developing a in house diesel pick up motor. Guess what they were using? Yepper, a beefed slant 6! here is a picture of the running prototype!
Excs, pulled the plug, went to Cummins, and when this engineer retired, he took the motor home with him!
Uses a Internatinal (corn binder) head!
So Mopar had a turbo diesel looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong before Ford even thought of a diesel motor in their pick-em-ups!

Location: Colorado, USA		Unlike the Olds 350 V8 conversion to diesel in 1978 by GM, I think a slant six diesel might have
actually worked right Anyway, in Jim Benjaminson's book "Plymouth 1946-1959" (MotorBooks
International, 1994, out of print), he devoted 4 pages to the 1956 Perkins diesel engine Plymouths
(pp. 106-109). It was a Perkins Diesel 4 cyl, 5 in. stroke, 3½" bore. Estimated production= 100 cars.
Option price=$750 (!) Sold through fleet sales, the customers were taxi companies.

In Hemmings about ten years ago a 1960 Plymouth Savoy fleet special with a Perkins Diesel was
offered for sale, claimed to be one of 100 cars just as the 1956 run was. The Oct. 1959 Motor Life
magzine mentions these diesel taxi Plymouths, with the provision that for private owner use "the
added cost of diesel (engine) installation could not be offset by fuel savings in life of the engine"

I saw your site/car a few months ago and was REALLY impressed. Have you ever had it dyno'd?

Location: Calgary Alberta Canada		Last fall, I was trying to arrange a club dyno day for the Northern Mopars (my home club http://www.mopars.org ) but didn't get enough interest. I'll go it alone to the dyno shop this summer.

For anyone in the Vegas area, I plan on driving down to the mopar show at the race track March 19-21. Maybe see you around.
