@@wakjob961 I had very good experiences with Edelbrock heads - I used quite a few brands (Ten years building engines professionally) and they were the only ones that came out of the box clean, had proper valve stem clearances, correct installed heights on the springs, and all valves passed a leak test - they even use assembly line on the valve stems.

Besides the My Mopar Channel.. which is full of Vintage Training slide shows.. you can learn as the Old Techs did back in the day... Our Uncle Tony is the Lord Mopar and Slant6 Monk...
It's the only channel that's going to tell you anything about these motors. Every other video I see is just starting them after a long time. Reminds me of my favorite video (Tony's cold start extravaganza) lol
You are bringing back memories for me a child growing up in my uncle and father's auto shop we done this more times than I care to remember still know all the old school tricks for Chevy Ford and Dodge to make real horse power gains with factory stuff I'm passing this down to my kid now we used very little aftermarket parts the only thing we used aftermarket was cam kits carbs and headers and once in a while a intake and we did well at the track and off-road racing I had the best childhood a kid could have
Definitely, don't apologize for taking time with the slant six. I have never had one or been associated with one, but, everything you talked about, in principle, anyway, applies to any engine. I especially liked the tip about relieving the backside of the valve on the drill press with a file. A real backyard trick. That is one aspect of your videos I really appreciate. Anyone can do those things if they apply themselves.Thanks, again!
@@79tazman Well alright then... my life is totally worthless... therefore it doesn't cost me anything to build it! Well 'cept for welding wire/rods/ welding gasses and O2.
When I was screwing around with a 225 head on the flowbench, I epoxied the floor of the port and raised it as much as possible. Matched a Super 6 intake to it and had it stuff into a 73 Scamp. The valves had a 30 degree back cut them to get rid of the ski ramp, done on an old Sioux valve grinder, and a three angle valve job, done with stones. The car was my daily and was built for gas mileage, and regularly got 31 mpg and ran 16.90's with a stock cam, 904 trans, and 2.74 gear. I had so much more spare time when I was younger apparently.
@@jerrytee2688 It was my only running car at the time. Got driven in whatever weather there was, summer or winter. I remember driving back home from Ottawa during the 1998 Ice Storm, on ancient G60-14's. These cars are 19 second cars stock, and even the 318 powered ones were only a 16.50 car stock. Gaining nearly 3 seconds in the quarter with just a 2 brl intake added and head work shows how restrictive the ports are in stock form.
@@UncleTonysGarage I raised the floor leading up the the ramp, and layed the short side back some. The raised ramp actually seemed to improve the shortside radius by raising the floor. I raised the port as much as I could then slide the intake up higher so the roof of the intake matched the raised roof of the intake port. It also ended up matching he bottom of the port pretty well. It was a stock super 6 intake so its only held on with clamps IIRC. I remember there being some grinding to make everything fit, but it worked. It was for an automotive machining class I was taking at the time.
seriously man..... you have taught me a LOT in the last 1.5 years im a 25 year old mechanic.... who learned from my dad....and been turning wrenches and holding flashlights since i was 6 years old i KNOW MY SHIT (but i only know what i know.... ill be the first to send it to the next shop if i dont feel OK doing the repair) keep it up man..... this slant 6 project is just so fascinating to me... ive got a gm 3.1 v6 that NO ONE makes speed parts for (but they should... as the stock crank and rods are forged, and can go 7000+ rpm) so im applying things from this slant to my 60 degree GM
You say overload, I say one of the cooler engine builds on youtube. I LOVE engine that are different or unique, and you really don't see many big car channels doing things like garge building bad ass slant six race motors!
There are people out there that do up Slant 6's many down under and here in the states but none have a youtube channel and make video's of them doing it
@@79tazman Right, I'm sure there's a community for it. For someone who's functionally a layman( I know a little bit about small engines.... ish.) Like me, it's cool as hell to see something not a SBC, LS, or a dressed up honda motor done! One reason I like things like rotary motors, oddballs like slant 6s, old school motors like flatheads.... they may be fine a dozen for car people, but not the rest of us.
When I was 12, my uncle, uncle Buck, came over to the house with his 68 Camaro, and I have loved all things that burn fuel since... You remind me of him, and I learned a ton of shit about engines and cars that my father would never have let me do... The only difference between my uncle and myself is he loves Chevrolet, and I love Mopar and Buick.
Uncle Tony, more great content as usual. I appreciate all the time and effort that goes into these videos and the old school wisdom that will never be lost thanks to you taking the time to do this. I know that you are a Mopar guy and used to play with some fords to but ive never heard you talk to much about GM. Im into SBCs like everybody else, I know not that niche or different but what can i say its what i grew up around, and Pontiacs for that matter. Id really like to see a short video like this that kind of pertains to the Chevy small block and a few secrets and tricks of the trade like you show here. Some old school speed secrets coming from you are always gold. Some pontiac content would be cool to from the 326 to the 455. I bet a few people would be surprised to learn Pontiacs used the same block so there is no small block or big block through the 60s and 70s and your a great outlet to get that kinda stuff out there and maybe bring in some new subscribers also who knows. Keep on keepin on man.
Cole, we do have some SBC stuff coming with Lamchop's Gasser, but I have no idea about time frame or extent until we get there. As for the hands on tech, I TRY to keep it as generic as possible, but unfortunately (for contents sake) I only have my own fleet to draw from
I choose a 112 lsa cam with high lift. I also gave it 4 degrees advance. I don't want a rough idle, I choose this cam because I want a clean engine and I must considere it is a efi engine which is sensitive to low vacuum cam and I keep the stock torque converter. Also, I prefer this cam because it won't sacrifice low end torque for high range rpm I appreciate your advice though. I red somewhere that 108 degrees makes for a good race engine.
Also, it's not my engine so I'm not looking for most hp as much as I try to make the most with what I have. I'm on a limited budget. I don't have everything to benefit from a higher reving cam.
Just picked up a 64 Dart convert with a 82 slant/904. At first I was bummed it wasn’t the original engine but now I’m realizing I’m better off with this later slant. Your knowledge of the slant is awesome! I’m all ears now!
A chevy LS beehive spring might work in this. The blue set are $90 new (iirc) and have only 90lbs on the seat, but that's the idea of beehives. The varying radius of the spring and the oval shape of the wire takes the place of a single spring and damper and the lower pressure is a lower pumping loss (so more power). They also handle a bit of lift too. Just an idea.
Definitely not overloading on the Slant stuff. I may be biased because I have a 170, a 198 and two 225's so I am loving this content. I find it amazing that I can pull up your channel and find this kind of stuff in 2019. Your channel is awesome Tony absolutely Slanterrific!!!! I will say it again....UTG is Understanding The "G" engine!
I've had one '66 & two '69 225s-love this slant project. I just want to feast on a delicious pizza from one of the Uncle Tony's Pizza restaurants we have here in Rhode Island and watch your videos.
I wish I would’ve had videos like this when I was in high school 13 years ago with my slant six. Luckily, I still have my 69 valiant 100 2 door slant six ;)
Don't worry about overloading us . We can always rewatch the videos then you get more veiws & more money for more projects 😃 . I think 🤔 if that's how it works good info . I like ernson & crane cams there a company that starts with an s & has an iron cross for a logo they make a lot of cams for inline 6 . Alot for AMC 6 banners . The last one AMC Drew up was made from 1987- 2006 242 cubic inch best motor for Jeeps
Yea exactly what i ran into on one build i did years ago . short story a friend and mopar mentor of mine we wher trading ideas and tinkering with them .He actually sacrificed a head bandsawed it up into several peices so we could find out how far we could take metal out and come to find they are dangerously thin places around the bowls valve stems so blend best you can dont dig out too much or shell crack on you
Although I had more experience with the 245 265 six Hemi in Australia the lessons I learned from my Uncle Tom who was a tool maker with the slant six are so close to Uncle Tony it’s not funny a trip down memory land for me !
Beautiful! I love seeing outside the box engine builds, would have been wicked if you could find someone experienced with casting to help you design and build your own aluminum head though, or if you could create a head by welding together two late model aluminum v8 heads.
the stones seem to work better when porting and polishing cast the carbide seems great on aluminum.just need to dress them. steel wool to polish the valve up when you are done back facing works great to improve flow too. Iove doing head work
It was brief, but very good info warning about choosing too large of a valve size. Always see small block ford (in-line valves) guys spend forever porting heads then waste most of it by using 2.02 intake valve
Good to know , every small power gain you can get from each little mod is worth the time you put in to find it , 10 small finds will add up to a good overall power gain 👍
cool to see you building something different than the same old pushrod v8 stuff. Im a younger guy and into imports so ive messed around with some inline 6 2jz engines and the 2.8L straight six in my datsun 280z also lots of inline 4 cylinder engines. Inline engines are much better balanced than v8's or v6 so they like high rpm's especially the japanese ones. Build them with the most aggressive camshaft you can get stiff valvesprings, a 4 speed manual trans, and shift the thing at 7000-8000 rpm. Need as much airflow as you can get and use high rpm potential to make power.
FYI on your your valve relief trick, all files only cut in one direction. with the tang pointed towards your body, it will cut as you push away. your files will last longer and will cut with a lot less effort...........love your videos ,and I have some hemi questions for you at a later date
I love the old "buzzin half dozen" engines, no matter what brand they are! I used to build 250/292 Chevys for dirt track racers until the local tracks did away with the class. Right now, I have a dilemma that I hope you can help me with. A few weeks ago, a guy traded me a 77 Dodge 200 4x4 (not sure if that's a D or W), along with some cash, for a GMC 25, because he couldn't get the Dodge to run right. The truck is REALLY solid since it came from out West (to Northwest Ohio last spring). It appears to have it's original drivetrain, 400 engine, 727 trans and Dana axles. It has a Thermo-Quad carb, which, after a full tune up on the engine, I've figured out is the biggest thing making it run badly...sat a long time, gummed up, the whole 9. Cleaning and rebuilding the carb isn't an issue for me. The problem is that the truck I traded him is the one that I built for pulling my 5th wheel camper. I'm sure that I can build the Dodge to pull it too, but, I'm not a Mopar guy, so, I don't know what's available to build a Mopar 400 for max torque down low, while still being able to run down the road at speed all day. Any help you can offer will be appreciated. Even though I'm a GM square body guy, I've always secretly liked these old Dodge trucks too.
Mike Brown those ThermoQuads were STUNNING carbs when dialed in and on cams that were stock or at most RV spec, like the CompCams 268H. Two BIG OLE watchouts with the TQ are loose throttle shafts in the throttle plate, and the phenolic resin middle body has two little 'sumps' on the bottom that hang down into reliefs in the throttle plate.( They LOOK EXACTLY like miniature rear sump oil pans for a model car engine.) These 'sumps' are actually the bottoms of the wells for the transfer of fuel thru the primary jet packages. These things were epoxied to the main body with some sort of white epoxy. This epoxy gets brittle over time with heat and different fuels over the years. If you decide to detail the TQ rather than replacing it with a less tedious version like the Holley spreadbores of the mid eighties that were two piece with the lift off top, you're gonna want to study up on the TQ. Ask anyone who has had a truly dialed in TQ on ANYTHING and they will rave about the UnGAWDLY response and BADASS WHAAAAHOOOOM that alerted everyone within earshot, that a 440 Police Magnum just dropped the blades. For those who really know, it's the sound that the Mighty 440 Monaco made right before clearing the Illinois Nazis off the park bridge in 'The Blues Brothers'. You can indeed, sort the W200 to effectively tote the camper,,, you'll just wanna be really sharp on the TQ.
Mike Brown, Sorry bout the book. Check out Mopar Collector's Guide magazine for the sources that will make short work of finding parts and services for your new Mopar Affliction. Also, Moparts.com, there are hundreds of thousands of Mopar people out here who still keep the Faith. And most will come out and help if you give a shout out. If you want further in-depth info on the TQ and how to get yer 'W' rockin', feel free to touch base. Magnumv1066@gmail.com
Learn something new everyday on Tonys YT channel.... I guess my old 1953 Massy Harris is going to get some "Back dressed" valves hehe... I mean why not...shes all apart at the moment anyways...
Back cutting the valves by around 30 degrees or so really helps with low lift flow. Ive done this with several engines and it makes a difference. Hey Tony 12:99 here we come!
Hahaha.... at Shooting at the Poor thing... and oh man.. I've had two. From twin 68 more door Darts. Hers has 350k on the motor, mine when we found it and drove her home.. had knock😑.. so yes they can live Forever and also yes they can die.. mine is now the slant6 of V8s 318.
@@northerngrit9656 nice.. I really like the Valiant.. and 70 looks great.. I'll feature my Car on my Brother Arys.. YTube soon . We are also installing a lite rebuild 225 slant into his 64 Dart..
Love the slant. I have an 83 d150 I pulled out from behind a barn where it was sinking. It has a slant I am planning on building, and I'm thinking of turboing it. I wish these head videos were more in depth.
Jake Scott, once you start pressurizing it,, you don't need to sweat the intake ports near as much, just clean up the ruff casting stuff and clean up the valves and get ready to need head studs and Orings for the head gaskets.
@@patrickwayne3701 I'm not going for performance, I just want to take care of the unequal air flow through the intake by adding a small amount of boost.
@@justanothercarchannel9890 The reason these inlines have an unbalanced mixture is because manifold runners 1 and 6 will always be much longer than runners 3 and 4. This is why many performance inline sixes would be fitted with 2 carbs. The other solution is multi port fuel injection, but I don't know anybody who is interested in building a slant six with multi port fuel injection.
@@skylinefever There are a couple of good write ups on converting a GM batch fire injection to work on a slant six. You can get all sorts of good performance knowledge from slantsix.org.
You are a wealth of Mopar wisdom! Any way to drill out the length of that water jacket and put a sleeve in it and lower that port floor? Most likely near impossible and or not worth the extreme effort. Also replace the cast in rocker shaft stands with aluminum?
Removing 5 lbs is still a good amount of weight reduction on a head that most people haven't experimented much with. You're a pioneer Tony! And a v8 definitely has heavier heads on it than the slant 6 head, right?
Pay attention students, this is cylinder head work the way it was before aftermarket cylinder heads were a thing. Love it!!!
Aftermarket heads still need a LOT of attention before they're ready to rock proper.
Anybody have a pic of the V-12 double Slant 6 engine from the 1960s?

" I cut my way clear into the water jacket... " Better luck next time, eh ? ... 😁
Thanks for the lesson!!!!
Had alot of fun !
I was watching maple motors then saw uncle T had to watch my boy luv u unk
ROLL UP YOUR WINDOWS!!!
Keep the videos coming.
Cledus Snow Fire up your "Winstones", or in my case, Pall Mall Silver 100s lol!
I read this is the style of scotty kilmers "rev up your engines!"
the stones seem to work better when porting and polishing cast the carbide seems great on aluminum.just need to dress them. steel wool to polish the valve up when you are done back facing works great to improve flow too. Iove doing head work
It was brief, but very good info warning about choosing too large of a valve size. Always see small block ford (in-line valves) guys spend forever porting heads then waste most of it by using 2.02 intake valve
Good to know , every small power gain you can get from each little mod is worth the time you put in to find it , 10 small finds will add up to a good overall power gain 👍
Best informative videos
I've done the back cutting of the valve using a right-angle grinder while spinning in a drill press.
cool to see you building something different than the same old pushrod v8 stuff. Im a younger guy and into imports so ive messed around with some inline 6 2jz engines and the 2.8L straight six in my datsun 280z also lots of inline 4 cylinder engines. Inline engines are much better balanced than v8's or v6 so they like high rpm's especially the japanese ones. Build them with the most aggressive camshaft you can get stiff valvesprings, a 4 speed manual trans, and shift the thing at 7000-8000 rpm. Need as much airflow as you can get and use high rpm potential to make power.
As always nice vid
FYI on your your valve relief trick, all files only cut in one direction. with the tang pointed towards your body, it will cut as you push away. your files will last longer and will cut with a lot less effort...........love your videos ,and I have some hemi questions for you at a later date
I love the slant
5 lb out of that head is pretty damn respectable
Good info uncle Tony!! Massage the humps.. Don't eradicate them!!
I love the old "buzzin half dozen" engines, no matter what brand they are! I used to build 250/292 Chevys for dirt track racers until the local tracks did away with the class. Right now, I have a dilemma that I hope you can help me with. A few weeks ago, a guy traded me a 77 Dodge 200 4x4 (not sure if that's a D or W), along with some cash, for a GMC 25, because he couldn't get the Dodge to run right. The truck is REALLY solid since it came from out West (to Northwest Ohio last spring). It appears to have it's original drivetrain, 400 engine, 727 trans and Dana axles. It has a Thermo-Quad carb, which, after a full tune up on the engine, I've figured out is the biggest thing making it run badly...sat a long time, gummed up, the whole 9. Cleaning and rebuilding the carb isn't an issue for me. The problem is that the truck I traded him is the one that I built for pulling my 5th wheel camper. I'm sure that I can build the Dodge to pull it too, but, I'm not a Mopar guy, so, I don't know what's available to build a Mopar 400 for max torque down low, while still being able to run down the road at speed all day. Any help you can offer will be appreciated. Even though I'm a GM square body guy, I've always secretly liked these old Dodge trucks too.
Mike Brown those ThermoQuads were STUNNING carbs when dialed in and on cams that were stock or at most RV spec, like the CompCams 268H. Two BIG OLE watchouts with the TQ are loose throttle shafts in the throttle plate, and the phenolic resin middle body has two little 'sumps' on the bottom that hang down into reliefs in the throttle plate.( They LOOK EXACTLY like miniature rear sump oil pans for a model car engine.)
These 'sumps' are actually the bottoms of the wells for the transfer of fuel thru the primary jet packages. These things were epoxied to the main body with some sort of white epoxy. This epoxy gets brittle over time with heat and different fuels over the years. If you decide to detail the TQ rather than replacing it with a less tedious version like the Holley spreadbores of the mid eighties that were two piece with the lift off top, you're gonna want to study up on the TQ.
Ask anyone who has had a truly dialed in TQ on ANYTHING and they will rave about the UnGAWDLY response and BADASS WHAAAAHOOOOM that alerted everyone within earshot, that a 440 Police Magnum just dropped the blades. For those who really know, it's the sound that the Mighty 440 Monaco made right before clearing the Illinois Nazis off the park bridge in 'The Blues Brothers'.
You can indeed, sort the W200 to effectively tote the camper,,, you'll just wanna be really sharp on the TQ.
Mike Brown, Sorry bout the book. Check out Mopar Collector's Guide magazine for the sources that will make short work of finding parts and services for your new Mopar Affliction.
Also, Moparts.com, there are hundreds of thousands of Mopar people out here who still keep the Faith. And most will come out and help if you give a shout out.
If you want further in-depth info on the TQ and how to get yer 'W' rockin', feel free to touch base.

Happy thanksgiving
5 pounds is big weight. Better air flow through grinding....
@@tulatoiletandsepticllc81 until you grind into the water jacket... 😁
@@richardlincoln8438 you have to be very very careful not to do that LoL
Learn something new everyday on Tonys YT channel.... I guess my old 1953 Massy Harris is going to get some "Back dressed" valves hehe... I mean why not...shes all apart at the moment anyways...
I gotta' say, Tony; there isn't much I wouldn't give to have you rebuild my engine.
Back in 64 I had a 383 Polara 500.
Hyper pack six was a mean machine. Ouch.
Uncle Tony, Thanks for your vids. I have a 71 Duster, 225, I used the spray paint Rusty metal primer. How does that hold up to high temp over time?
Back cutting the valves by around 30 degrees or so really helps with low lift flow. Ive done this with several engines and it makes a difference. Hey Tony 12:99 here we come!
This thing better run a bunch stronger than that! But, 12.99 is a good first stop
I had a /6 once, everyone said they were " bullet proof" and then I blew mine up lol.
But you never actually shot bullets at it. They might have been right.
@@gg5115 true....but now you've got me wondering
Hahaha.... at Shooting at the Poor thing... and oh man.. I've had two. From twin 68 more door Darts. Hers has 350k on the motor, mine when we found it and drove her home.. had knock😑.. so yes they can live Forever and also yes they can die.. mine is now the slant6 of V8s 318.
@@AtZero138 I also converted mine to a 318 using conversion mounts, it was a 70 vailant.
@@northerngrit9656 nice.. I really like the Valiant.. and 70 looks great.. I'll feature my Car on my Brother Arys.. YTube soon . We are also installing a lite rebuild 225 slant into his 64 Dart..
For the inside coating try glyptal.
The house of Jafro sends it's regards
Love the slant. I have an 83 d150 I pulled out from behind a barn where it was sinking. It has a slant I am planning on building, and I'm thinking of turboing it. I wish these head videos were more in depth.
Jake Scott, once you start pressurizing it,, you don't need to sweat the intake ports near as much, just clean up the ruff casting stuff and clean up the valves and get ready to need head studs and Orings for the head gaskets.
@@patrickwayne3701 I'm not going for performance, I just want to take care of the unequal air flow through the intake by adding a small amount of boost.
@@justanothercarchannel9890 Ahhh, well THAT'S gonna be easy, with stock parts all around then.
@@justanothercarchannel9890 The reason these inlines have an unbalanced mixture is because manifold runners 1 and 6 will always be much longer than runners 3 and 4. This is why many performance inline sixes would be fitted with 2 carbs. The other solution is multi port fuel injection, but I don't know anybody who is interested in building a slant six with multi port fuel injection.
@@skylinefever There are a couple of good write ups on converting a GM batch fire injection to work on a slant six. You can get all sorts of good performance knowledge from slantsix.org.
Many moons ago i read and article about a turbocharged slant 6. 11 seconds in the quarter mile . Put 15 lbs boost into the beast!
Still diggin'it
Uncle Tony is SAVAGE .
You are a wealth of Mopar wisdom! Any way to drill out the length of that water jacket and put a sleeve in it and lower that port floor? Most likely near impossible and or not worth the extreme effort. Also replace the cast in rocker shaft stands with aluminum?
Neither would be worth the effort/cost, but they could be done
Polish the combustion chambers, and ports on that slant six and be amazed what that work will do!!
Any room to raise the roof then taper that into the port/bowl? Then epoxy the floor to correspond to the port roof move?
They say Uncle Tony is so tough, he doesn't get hurt by chips from a Carbide Burr, they just bounce off his skin.
Removing 5 lbs is still a good amount of weight reduction on a head that most people haven't experimented much with. You're a pioneer Tony! And a v8 definitely has heavier heads on it than the slant 6 head, right?
Thanks
Any planned...
Holiday ...
burnouts ?
🔥🔥🔥
That valve mod is easy and brilliant.
