And ya got lots of room for a turbo in a 225 engine bay, might be a fun project, I remember a inline six 68' stang running a junkyard turbo setup that dusted alot of small blocks, sorry no detailed info, this is going back to the mid 70's, turbos were'nt real popular and you could tell quick by looking that it was a backyard setup, but it would run.

Sorry to be slightly off-brand. I know Matt167 is interested in dual carb Chevy-6s and saw this at the recent Richmond NSRA meet. It is in a '59 Chevy pickup. It's not a slant six but it has a nice clean set up of an Offenhauser dual intake and dual exhaust manifolds. Since the intake manifold is mostly flat on top, the carbs can sit right on top, in a Mopar slant-6 the longer runners on the intake give a small ram effect to the intake.
