Quote: The 2bbls were called "supersix" and mostly were offered in the 70s and 80s, but did not have a higher HP rating even though they undoubtedly had higher HP
The 2bbl setup offered in the US and Canada from '77-'83 was called Super Six (two words) and in every year it was offered it had a higher advertised horsepower rating, 110 vs. 100 net hp. If you compare the earlier gross horsepower ratings, 160 vs. 145, that is also right at 10%.

The Argentine Polara is a beautiful car. There are several YouTube videos on them. One of the most interesting the the guy with the "fender well" headers and a 2' tall adapter for his Weber carb. It does nice burn outs and they rev the snot out of the engine. I guess there is no V8 guys telling them you can't do that with 4.125" cranks. |

Thank you for the Argentinean info. Can you post any pictures of that Dodge Polara engine with the air filter and housing removed? I would sure like to see the induction and exhaust setup. ¡Gracias¡ |

For sure the slant 6 option would have been more popular if they had that extra 30-40 hp.

I think so, the performance of the Slant Six of the Dodge Polara RT was outstanding.

That's a cut/capped rear half of a stock exhaust manifold, along with this front-3 casting, which…if I recall correctly, Lou, didn't you buy the linked one off me? |

I think Rick bought it, or I bought it and sold it to someone else. It was in my garage at one point to check intake fitments... Lou |

Lou I had it to measure and photograph along side the Hyperpaks. I think maybe Stan ended up with it??

I had something witty to say, but I will just keep it in my head. Cool Manifold, however. Maybe we need to make a slanted Pilmrigage below the Darien pass someday!
