    I looked over the topics and did not find anything where fuel injection of some type has been installed.  I read the slant 6 never had FI as an upgrade.  I also read they still made the slant in Mexico until 2000 and that in 61-63 they even made aluminum blocks.

    Has anyone done a Holly FI conversion?  
    How about a turbo?

    You will find everything you want to know about fuel injection, turbo conversions, and those motors on the slant six forum:

    if you ever come up with an alluminum slanty, buy, steal, do whatever, but take it home. drag racing and resto people would pay a bundle for one. the /6 has a good record as a race engine with ceertain mods such as 4bbl and headers to solid big lift cams. turbos might be a stretch given the stroke but fuel injection should be doable.
