The Slant 6 was offered in the WM300s that were exported to Israel and others from 1969 onward until end of production.

When the slant six was first produced it was die cast in aluminum. After the first year though the bean counters decided the process was too expensive and changed to sand cast steel for the blocks.

The slant six can be built into quite a powerhouse. Richard Petty raced one for a while in the 1960's. Performance items are readily available as well.

The slant six was produced in this country from 1960? to around 1980. I believe that it was continued in Mexico or Brazil until the early 1990's.
