Hi, i have been a member on here for a while now but I do not think i have introduced myself yet,

My name is Eddie I live near Sacramento Ca, and bought a 72 Slant 6 Challenger earlier this year, Last year I had a 65 Barracuda and decided to sell because I became a really big fan with e-bodies.

I am really new when it comes to working on the classics, my dad knows a lot he has 69 Barracuda, so big Mopar fans in the family. My goal is to get the body fixed and painted and drive the heck out of the car, I want to keep the original engine it since you tend to never see Slant 6's in E-bodies. Here is a pic of the car.

Welcome aboard. Most people don't know that the slant six AKA tower of power, was originally developed as a racing engine. Several different blocks were available from Mopar. Actually a lot of development was done in the sixties and seventies on these motors so there are some intake manifolds and headers available, even turbos. So don't sell that engine short. it can be made a screamer.

I love your idea of keeping the slant 6. Personally I think it is more cool than a Hemi. I know when I talk to anyone and I say the word "slant 6" the first words out of their mouth is "great motor". Back around 1980 I had an old Plymouth Duster. We called it the "Ruster" or "Dust Pan". It had a slant 6 in it. Very reliable and easy to work on. Good luck with your project and "DRIVE IT"!

Thats funny because every time time I say that the car has a slant 6 to older people that is the first thing that comes out their mouth too. The engine runs smooth all the time when driving it so it so far,
