A buddy of mine has a 68 Dart with a Torqstorm and efi he just put together. He had it running for 3 weeks, then drove from Virginia to Missouri to race, won 2 rsces, and drove home with no issues. Car ran 13:20s. He is on www.slantsix.org as Dart270. He's documented it well. The Slant bottom end really doesn't need much. They're pretty tough to start with. You can easily bore them +.100", I know of some that have gone +.190" after sonic checking. The bad part is the head sucks. But with a blower that isn't such a big issue.

We have a local guy with a slant six and a procharger in a dart
It’s a really cool set up and certainly an attention grabber car shows
He is local if you have any questions, I can see if I can chat with him

Dave Evans in Minnesota built one with a 4-71 in the late 90s. It dyno'd at 425 on pump gas. Another guy in Minnesota now has it in a rat rod.
Steve Nitti, also from Minnesota has a gorgeous 72 Duster with a Procharger on it. It went 10.57@126 at Mokan last month. Car weighs 3200 w/driver.

The block begins to fail above 400 hp. If that's enough, go for it.

How many main caps do they come with? Isn't it 4 or 5? Not 7, correct I knew a kid in high school who had a aluminum four barrel slant six four barrel motor with a 4 speed manual tranny in a 1960-1961 Valient or what ever the first year compacts were called back then. It ran oaky but I don't think it was halfway fast

Slants have 4 mains. The only ones I know of that even broke a crank either hydrauliced a cylinder spraying on alcohol, or trying to spray a turbo motor.
Mike Jeffrey was making well over 400 on spray and never even nicked a main bearing.
We have turbo guys making north of 500 and the only thing they've eaten were pistons.
The motor I just took out of my car has the light cast crank in it with stock rods. I wasn't making a lot of power (250ish) but turned 6300 regularly. I had 0 bottom end issues.
People have told me for 25 years Slants can't live with only 4 mains. I have never hurt a bearing even when I was spraying. I was only making 375 though.......

IIRC none of the Hyper-Pack engines were aluminum blocks. The 170" was 148 hp, 225" 195.

I didn't provide every single known fact, therefore my comment is wrong? Take 5 minutes, tell me everything you know.

I'll make it real easy. How many Slant motors or any Mopar have you built and raced? You're always trolling people telling them how little they know and their stuff is junk.

He is local if you have any questions, I can see if I can chat with him I just saw him and took a couple pictures for you. I spoke to him and he bought the car this way and didn’t know lots of info Thanks for posting pics...that looks like a nice setup. I wonder if there would be a way to keep power steering with the supercharger.
