Austin healey replica project
I have taken on a project which has been abandoned by previous owner. I want to install radius arm /coil over suspension at the rear axle. My question is how short can the radius arm be and still work effectively..... space is a big problem. Second question does any one know the weight of a slant 6 motor i know that there were many models but i need ball park number. appreciate all your help.

Not sure about your coilover/radius arm question. But if you're talking about a Mopar slant 6, I would first do some height measuring. I had on in an old pickup and they are kinda on the tall side. It may stick out the hood on a small car like an Austin.

The weight of a slant 6 is 475lbs. according to this site: Engine Weight FYI

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
