| Post subject: | building a modern slant 6 |
Just found this great site, best automotive site I have come across. It has always been a dream of mine to build a german/autobahn type mopar with tall gears, MPFI, and turbo. Just a few questions: 1. Is there any forged low compression rod/pistons available for the SL6? 2. Is it possible to use hydraulic or roller lifters? kysard@suscom.com |

I think you'll have to have custom made most of what you reference. EFI is documented in the articles at this site. Turbos don't usually need a radical camshaft, you can have a custom steel roller camshaft made for $$$. The 80s slants have hydraulic lifters. Quote:

being good friends with a master machinist would help a lot too. Quote:
