The Slant-Six is the popular name for a Chrysler inline-6 internal combustion engine with an overhead valve reverse-flow cylinder head and cylinder bank inclined at a 30-degree angle from vertical.

A narrower range of engines was offered: the base power plant was the 225 cu in (3.7 L) slant-6, now with top-fed hydraulic tappets, and the 318 cu in (5.2 L) and 360 cu in (5.9 L) LA-series V8s. The slant-6 was replaced by the 3.9 L (237 cu in) V6 for 1988; in 1992, it and the V8s became Magnum engines.

Colloquially known as the Slant Six, it displaced 225 cu in (3.7 L), featured overhead valves, and a block that was inclined 30 degrees to the right to permit a lower hood line with maximum displacement. This ...
The "GEN-3" engines were available in Jeep utility vehicles starting in 1971. [3] It is not the same as Chrysler's 360 V8. [ 4 ] Chrysler continued production of the AMC 360 engine after the 1987 buyout of AMC to power the full-size Jeep Wagoneer (SJ) SUV that was produced until 1991. [ 5 ]
It differed from the US Plymouth Valiant in having a six-bar grille, [5] a larger boot with a different rear deck and a flat rear window.
