Hello The last year for a Slant six was 1987. Then in 1988 the 3.9 V6 Came out as the base engine in Dodge trucks. Your friend may want to consider a pre 1980's slanter, as they had alot more power and ran alot better. I have ran quite a few 60-87 Slant sixes,and honestly, the pre '74 ones are the best. Pre 72 is even better. the slant sixes of the 1980s were total 'dogs' They were still fairly reliable, but did not have alot of power, due to smog stuff on them, restrictive heads, low compression etc. The best slant sixes are the ones that have the plugs go 'deep' into the head that look sort of like a hemi. Good luck!
