"I'm talking about any and all light duty I6 gas engines including the slant six"
While not powerful the slant 6 was actually a pretty heavy duty motor. I saw several used in commercial equipment like forklifts and small train engines for inside the factory use. The engine was designed to be made from aluminum but Chrysler decided to save money and build them out of cast iron, resulting in a way overbuilt engine. Someone who knew what they were doing could get some pretty serious horsepower out of them but most only came with a small 1 barrel carb and a mild cam. I have seen pictures of some that were built for the 4 liter class of sprint racing actually made of aluminum and sporting a 4 barrel carb. It was said that these engines were very competitive.
