The Chrysler Slant-Six was one of the most reliable and long-lasting engines of the 20th century

Summary

70% Informative

Chrysler introduced the Chrysler Slant-Six in 1959 to replace the Chrysler Straight-Six engine, which had been in production since the company's founding in 1925 .

A slanted inline engine has a lower overall installed height, meaning the vehicles it's fitted to can have a lower hood profile, leading to sleeker styling and a lower center of gravity.

Because of this, the slant-six is able to have a broader power band over other engines with a similar cylinder count.

The Chrysler Slant-Six was discontinued in 2000 , 13 years after it was no longer offered as an engine choice in Dodge 's light truck line.

It can be argued that the recently-introduced Hurricane straight-six is the Slant 's spiritual successor.

It has a 3.0-liter displacement, and with the use of two turbochargers, it can produce up to 550 horsepower.
