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. Introduced in 1959 for the 1960 models, it was known within Chrysler as the G-engine. It was a clean-sheet design that began production in 1959 at ...
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.
The standard engine was Chrysler's 225 cu in (3.7 L) slant six, and was available with a single-barrel carburetor. Optional engines were a 318 cu in (5.2 L) V8 or a 360 cu in (5.9 L) V8, both with two-barrel carburetors .
Starting in 1960, Belvederes got a brand-new standard inline six-cylinder engine replacing the venerable valve-in-block "flathead" six. 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 ...
Horsepower rating for the 170 cu in (2.8 L) Slant-6 engine was raised from 101 bhp (75 kW) to 115 bhp (86 kW) by installation of the slightly bigger camshaft introduced on the 225 in 1965, together with Carter BBS and Holley 1920 carburetors using the larger 1 + 11 ⁄ 16 in (43 mm) throttle bore previously reserved for the 225, rather than the ...
This engine shares the same stroke length as the other engines but has a smaller bore size of 3.52 in (89 mm) and lower compression ratio of 8.0:1. It ran on regular petrol and produced 104 kW (139 hp) at 4400 rpm and 270 N⋅m (199 lb⋅ft) of torque at a low 1800 rpm.
The Lancer used the slant-6 engine. The base engine was the 170 cu in (2.8 L) unit, rated at 101 bhp (75 kW). The optional power package consisted of the larger 225 cu in (3.7 L) engine, rated at 145 bhp (108 kW). After the start of the 1961 model year, a die-cast aluminum version of the 225 engine block was made available. The aluminum 225 ...
A 1964 Rambler American with a 195.6 OHV engine. American Motors' first straight-six engine was the 196 cubic inch (195.6 cu in (3.2 L)) six produced from 1952 through 1965, initially as a flathead (L-head) side-valve, and later an overhead valve (OHV) version.
