Loved my slant 6 Valiant
Like this.
In the 70's living in NY used it for a "winter rat".
2nd winter I used it the torsion bar support rusted out and the rest of the winter was fun driving a pogo stick on the right side.lol
But even in below 0 weather she always started. Wife hated the ride, but it beat walking.
My 64 1/2 Mustang had a 200 straight 6, great car and engine.
