Re: 1966 dodge dart
Welcome to AF
That sounds like a nice car! I would be interested to know of the mods you have done to the slant six. Given this engine has a relatively long stroke and somewhat small valves, I thought the only way to get 445 hp is by using a hand grenade..........  As for chrome......... if the blemishes cannot be polished out, ideally the piece must be stripped, prepared and re-plated, which is a relatively expensive process.

Re: 1966 dodge dart
Yup, them little 6s can make some power... In olden times, "hobby stocks" were popular at the smaller curcle tracks. They required a "straight 6", and had a CID limit of 250. The 240 Fords and 225 Dodges dominated.
Clifford research in California knows more about most straight 6s than any other group, the Pontiac OHC 6 being the exception to that. They have SOME stuff for it, but there are Pontiac specialty shops that have more. Good job!! Jim
