So ugly it’s beautiful.
And the only 2 we had were the 198 and the 225 Cu in. Preferred the 225 Cu in for that little extra HP.

Mopars had "Sure Grips".
BM vehicles called it Posi- Traction.

The ultimate is a Detroit Locker. Which was installed as an option on factory vehicles of most brands. Usually with heavy duty towing packages.
I have a Detroit Locker in the rear end of my truck.
And a Tru- Trac gear type locker in my frond end.
Which makes it nearly unstoppable off road.
Point and shoot.

Some what.
I've never owned one.
They came in 3 sizes...
170 cu in.
198 cu in.
225 cu in.
And as Gene mentioned below... they are some of the toughest engines ever put together.
One could also get a Hyper- Pak engine kit from Chrysler that produced quite a bit more horsepower. Right at 200 h.p. to be exact.
There's guys out there still that race them.

          Slant 6. Haven't heard that engine size in an eon.  Raced a Dart with one on a short track and it took a beating. Lost coolant and most of the nose and kept on running. At the end of the race it died and we had to leave it on the inner oval of the track. Popped the hood and the freakin' engine was cherry red. Came back a couple of hours after the race was over to tow it out of there and wouldn't you know it, it started right up.

And on that note, my mom is the only person I know of who would kill 2 Slant Six engines in her lifetime.

Eww! A Chevy.
My aunt had a '57 she bought brand new. It was the mid- level Two Ten model... turquoise and white. She drove it just around town back and forth to work. She sold it to my parents in '70 with only 22,000 miles on the clock. It was in primo shape.
My brother and I drove it to high school for about a year and a half.
I built a dune buggy after that. My parents sold the car. And I never saw it after that.

A Dodge Dart!
My son had a '73 Dart Sport... kinda like a Duster.
We built it when he was a junior in high school.







He sold it about 18 years ago to some guy in Norway to fund his '41 Dodge Power Wagon project.
