Where is everyone #5

Maybe my 1st Moostang was a straight 6, the Cuda was the slant 6?

 

Yessir.

 

Call me crazy this is why I avoid all large crowds today. So sad

 

Probably so. Charbroiler and Ford built their old 6's straight up and down. Some of those designs were originally from the 20's and 30's with occasional updates. Charbroiler famous Stovebolt Six was built for a long time.

 

All Mopar 6's from that era were variations of the Slant 6. Mainly just in displacement. Very dependable engines. Built Ford Tough. Hi Grimey !

 

Actually Moose,

Mercedes Benz did that trick in 1952 with the M-186/198 engine to keep the hood low on the 300SL, maybe you have heard of them called gullwings.

I knew they did a really good job on building them but never saw one up close. Good to know that. Was that the first thing they built with fuel injection ?

 

First road car with fuel injection

 

Grub sez that's enough of that BS Mooseknuckle

 

Didn't Mercy Bends Alive ! build the engines for the infamous ME 109 ( also known as the Bf 109 because the company that first built them was BFW, which Willy Messerschmitt subsequently bought. ) ?
Those were fuel injection engines and had an advantage over the carb engines in the Allied fighters at the beginning of a dive because of the negative G force would throw the gas out of the float bowls and the engine would cut out for a second.
