I wonder if the third engine is the new Pentastar v6? Looks nice from that one picture.

So if two of the three engine options are 4 bangers, what is the third option?
Those old slant sixes were bullet-proof and ran forever! |

Man, I had a 1974 dart swinger 2 door coupe. It had the 225 slant-six that I rebuilt and bored .30 over. I put a 2 bbl custom carb on it and threw in some hydraulic lifters. I never got the carb quite right but when it warmed up it ran great. It was a great color too. Maroon with gold metal flake. I blacked out the grill and was just about to put some bucket seats from a 71 charger in it.
So much fricken torque in that thing but alas, I had to sell it when we moved. I was thinking just the other day that they need to bring it back. Pretty awesome ride. It might do well. Posted via Mobile Device |

You should have seen the look on some peoples faces when I'd blow the doors off a guy with a 5 liter mustang or a 318. He'd catch up but not before the end of the 1/4. Posted via Mobile Device |

Lots of innovations in that motor. Can you imagine how many oil filters end up in the land fill each year? I hadn't thought about it until I read about this motor. |

I was just asking a friend of mine not more than a week ago why don't they bring the dart back? That slant 6 was something else. My uncle still has 7 or 8 of them sitting out in a field.

A former co-worker of mine when I was a mechanic had a slant six in an old pickup. He wanted to drop a 360 in it so he decided to see how "indestructible" they were. He drained all the oil and started it up, then drove it for over an hour. He gunned it several times. The solid lifters were clacking like a bitch but it never blew. He put oil back in it and drove it for another 6 months. Posted via Mobile Device |

My first car was a Dodge Dart. Bought it used off a dealership that was owned by the father of the hottest damn girl I ever laid eyes on. Paid $250 bucks cash. It had a push-button transmission.
Rep to the dude or dudess who can guess what happened to that car. FAX |
