Meet The Ruster!

Dad bought a new 1975 Valiant 4 door slant six beige he drove that to new york from wisconsin twice, once with the whole family (4). Great car actually was real good on the interstate and very comfortable! Never took it to the drag strip though. 🤔

He needs more converter

Nice setup.

All these guys talking about building a Slant-6, yet here I am... wondering how to mate a 3.8L V-6 (NOT the 3.6! }:[ ) to a Torqueflite, and where to get a stroker kit for it! ;)

They sound awful 😂😂

Nutin wrong with rust, it lightens up the car

Ruster?
from that takeoff, more like ThRuster.

It's not getting treed,it's creating a safety margin

All this Slant stuff is making me want to fiddle with mine!! Im plotting a 5.7 Hemi for my 69 Dart in the near future, but jeez, Slant stuff is Just so cool...!!!

Love the creativity!

I owned a 225 Volare. Everything but the motor failed. The Volares undercarriage was all yellow chalk from the junk yard parts I needed for its constant repairs. Okay. Yeah. 225 what?

You can’t run a high volume oil pump on a slant six. The extra strain is what eats up the gear, it’s not the rpm.

Bad ass car! Imagine if he started putting a turbo on it!

audio was just to bad for me to watch the enire video bbut its a cool ride non the less. Back in the late 70's early 80's one of the Fastest Cars in the Fort Smith Area was in fact a slant 6 dodge Dart that thing was brutally fast even by today's standards

Sounds like you have an air leak!!

Wow!... I Love it. She Goes Pretty Good too.

My father had a 4 door Valiant. Slant six with a 4 speed. Only the front right passenger window would roll down, no power steering or brakes. A real handful to drive. Had plenty of fun with it though.

I had a 71 Dodge Demon, 225 slant 6 back in about 78 or 79. Put a cherry bomb muffler on it told ppl it was a 340 lol. A friend had a 'Feather Duster', slant 6 w/4 speed. That thing was quick. Like almost every car I've owned, I wish I had kept the Demon.

Lol donut spare?

Love it

I used to be on the slant site a lot. I know this guy's name.

Mason Dixon is up near me

Alice in chains would sing yeah there goes the ruster, it ain't gonna die oh no the ruster yeah

That's how drag racers started, good video

Almost as impressive as scoring four touchdowns in one game for Polk High!

Recently saw a gentleman take a LS head and cut it up to make a crossflow for a 300 Ford why not one on these ?

I know this misses the point of building a slant...but...imagine how much quicker this would be with just a Magnum or LA.

Best guy hands down building heads engines anything Goodwin comp omro wi. He machines heads out of billet blocks of aluminum. Hes had engines pushing 2800hp in poker run boats he does cars , boats, anything. He would build some nasty heads.

That is cool not my style but super cool and I bet it is fun too. Thanks for sharing

I absolutely love the ahem,"enginuity" involved with these guys!!!! The last thing I expected to see under the hood was coil packs and no distributor! Now the Holley was no surprise atall,lol! I've been seeing 4bbls on 6 bangers since I got into cars decades ago in the early 80s,and I can't wait to see whatevers next from their brilliant minds!!!!!

I love slant sixes. Currently own one stock one and have over the years driven a few highly modified copies. It was so much fun back in ancient times to outrun a v-8 something or other and when they ask what the engine is I would say “just a grotty little six&”

The external wet sump works nice we had one just so we could run 2 quarts less, less oil to slow the assembly down, the pressure drops and the extra oil would bleed in as pressure dropped. Loved schneider they probably have his grind on file they keep good records or at least used to thats all i used to run, loved that they kept everything on file you could call them and they could grind one just like it they had the big iron cross decals they sent with each kit. They wont send junk lifters they really build nice stuff.

Yeah that's how you do it come up the keystone raceway Tony

Nice

HOWdy U-T-G,
Drag Strip for the RUSTER ...
COOP
...

Like to know more about this build, especially the ignition system

Tony please make a video about what panels are structural in an A body so we don’t cut them out to save weight

I never realized that man Tony lose some weight

11.60 quarter that’s very decent, I’m surprised.

Greg (Craig?) is an awesome racer and builder!

Uncle Tony; you looked tickled pink.

🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿️

My dad had a slant 6, Chrysler Crown marine engine in his commercial fishing boat. It ran great for over 40 years. You know the marine environment and many hours on the engine are tough.....Great stuff Tony. 👍👍👍👍👍Hi from West Coast Canada bud

Impressive times

Dude he lives in the same county as me! Come help me finish my Linda 225 ❤😢

I've seen these cars run at Mason Dixon Dragway, they are incredible and the folks are very nice.

thats cool i love slant six i have 1965 barracuda with leaning tower of power with Clifford headers offy intake really. ruster that a fast slant six

He went electric ignition because of power. Just like everyone else that's actually fast. Lol

The oil pump gear problem is well known .Most people will regrind their OEM cam to reduce the chance of failure.
