I also loved the 225 slant six. Great little workhorse with surprising power for a small engine. Owned a few Darts and Lancers back in the day

Chrysler had a hyperpack upgrade for the slant six that let the Darts and Valliants run with the pony cars. There was a rumor going around that seven Hyperpack cars finished 1-7 in a compact race at Daytona

Chrysler also came out with the Feather Duster in 76 which was powered by the 225 slant six (I think). For its time, the MPG was amazing—reportedly up to 36 MPG on the highway for a car weighing slightly less than 3000 lbs.
