We had many slant-sixes, in cars, pickups, and even farm equipment. Such a solid engine. Never seen an aluminum one.

I had a leaning tower of power in my 1976 Plymouth Volare, which probably would be running to this day if the Volare didn't rot away. My dad's cousin had a slant six on a combine on his farm, it never failed.

Not big on power but dead nutz reliable if they got even the most basic maint.

Solid lifters in them until '81. Back in the day adjusted a shiat ton of em. Once set to spec, so quiet you'd think they were hydraulic.
