Here is the Slant 6 that I would like to have - 11/25/11 08:00 PM
I don't remember seeing anything about this car, but it is pretty cool. Seems a lot of Comp Eliminator guys seem to think outside of the box on what they run. Kinda neat really.

There used to be quite a few 6-cyl. cars in Comp back in the day. With today's technology & wish I had the bucks to build a wild /6. I know of a trick 4-cyl. Ford combo using quite a few stock parts for a 400 cu. ins. I'm thinking if trying when I sell off an iold racecar. My guess on it would be 300-350hp n/a for a really cool/trick street motor.

Anyone notice the cross-flow head? And the plugs on the wrong side? Not sure what that is---is it a Jeep engine? I see the belt or cam driven distributor too.

my guess its one of those Aussie HEMI 6 bangers..
I was looking around and the Australian slant and the straight inline hemi 6 do not have cross flow heads...thats a weird one plus the engine is slanted the other way unless the photo is reversed..

nah! ain't one of our Hemi 6's, they weren't crossflow or slant.

Plus it's slanted the other way like the 4 lunger is.

a few years back, I saw a rear engined dragster that had a big Ford straight 6...I looked closer and here he had Cleveland heads...they had cut the heads and welded them together to make a straight 6 and then machined them...it looked so factory..
you maybe right here that they took two heads to make the one...would that picture be reversed? as far as the slant goes or is that another trick engineering job ...

I noticed the slant to be reversed too. Checked the lettering to see if it to was reversed, nope.

Internet search -
"MOPAR powered Inline 6/P5 Hemi I/AA Comp Eliminator entry. The engine is an engineering marvel that started life as 2 mopar 4 cyl USAC sprint car blocks and 2 mopar P5 Hemi heads in his 2 car garage. John cut, welded together and partially machined both the heads and block with lazer like accuracy using common tools and without cnc equipment. Since his engine is essentially a unicorn John had to design, engineer and fabricate EVERYTHING from rocker stands, oilpan, belt drive, intake manifold to the simplist of brackets because these parts just don't exist."

Actually, most all of you figured it out. I think it is really neat, but this guy went through a great deal of pain and coin to do this. My question is, why stop at 6 cylinders, make it an in-line 8 instead of throwing away a couple cylinders and chopping a 1/4 off 2 heads to get 6?
Either way, it truly is a wicked engineering effort. Won best engineered car at a National event last year.
