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.......

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

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

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