Why would slant 6 with only about 80k need a rebuild? This is perhaps one of the MOST rugged engines known to man and should go at least 200k without a 'build'. Larry

Good question. I had to dump my perfectly running '75 Dart with the Slant 6 at 135k miles due to a broken K-member weld that rendered the right-hand front suspension pretty useless. Being in college at the time, I couldn't ante up the funds to replace the entire crossmember assembly. Plus, we had an extra vehicle sitting in the driveway.

Still, the motor didn't use any oil and ran smooth as day one when I sold
