Pretty Fast!  (I assume that it's a slant six.)

I wish I could have seen it run - I was preoccupied with the Midget, and didn't get a chance to peek under the hood, but I did see it in impound.

And, it's a very good looking car. Especially sitting in impound!

I agree, it did look really sweet sitting in impound twice. :cheers:

132.850 in an flying fish with a leaning sixer.   :cheers:

Somewhere, there is an engine builder I want to have a long conversation with.

I'm thinking the passengers foot well in a racing Midget is expendable and might allow room for a slant six.  :-D

I saw it run a couple of times.

It just ran and ran.

Real nice car, real nice people.

Slant 6's are a tough old hunk of iron & hard to kill, I still one in one of my Challenger's. :-)

Yeah, the slant sixes are known to be "tough", but where did he find all that power in an F-class 170? 132.85 MPH- I remember those sort of numbers in B and C Classis Production just a few years ago.

Not a pic but here is the engine information BobDcuda posted in the Aero Section - How much rake on a door slammer? thread:


Sid, I've got the 170 ci slant bored out to a whopping 174 ci.  Got the usual cam, carb, headers, valves, etc., and some extensive head work.  Combustion chambers were welded in to get 30cc chambers, milling and porting, 13:1 compression.  Engine dyno made 252 hp @ 6,800.  Final bit is to get the nose down and aligned.  I hope to go fast, but do want the wheels to stay on the ground.  :-D

Extensive head work.  Yep, sounds like the magic is in the head.

He was running by me a few times over on the short course.  I'm not sure what upset me more, not getting a record, or that an old Cuda with a 6, went faster than my v-twin, push-rod, 650 turbo!  I always loved those early Cudas, just great styling, kind of an updated Studebaker look.
