Yup, I had a Valiant I used for a work car years ago with a slant 6. Little bugger would scoot pretty good for a 6. Nice thing is that today, all engines have become cool. Guys are using engines we used to toss out, and they are suddenly the thing to have.

I was in charge of the truck shop where I worked. We had what they called tuggers We used them to pull wagons on coils or ingots in the plant the airports use them to pull planes around All had slant 6s. Hard to beat them.

If you swap in a rack and pinion steering setup a 383 might fit. It's the steering box that's in the way of most any V8, it's mounted inside the frame rail.
