I was a Slant Sixer, nothing big or fancy.
Had over the years: two '65 Dodge Darts (one 4-door, one 2-door), a '77 Plymouth Volare 2-door, and a '67 Dart, that one was 3-on-the-tree fun, the others automatics. All slightly different builds. Raced one Dart and the Volare for a bit.
Also had a '59 Studebaker Lark VIII for a minute, but it needed too much work for me to handle at the time so traded it on... snagged a '75 Dart Hang 10 rolling chassis but had to sell that before I got into it when I moved east.
Slants are fun engines, I liked the build varieties and experimentation that went into them.
What about you?

Oh many many. I was daily driving a 58 Ford in 2000. As far as street drivable drag cars go I had a 70 Coronet R/T with a 440 Magnum six pack and a 64 Econoline short box van with a fully built 351 Cleveland crammed into it.
Was always a fan of the slant six since it was virtually indestructible no matter what you did to it.
