Funny thing is, I bet it hardly uses any power maybe.

The 300 died because of EPA compliance.

You have to wonder why no one (except the Slant 6) made any kind of attempt to put a real intake manifold on the 6's. They are all just a log with a carb that is 3" from the center cylinders, and 8" from the end cylinders. My dad had a Comet with the 200"-6, at about 80k miles it got to where it wouldn't idle unless we pulled the PCV valve out. Tore it down, the exhaust valves in #1 and #6 were literally burned in half from running lean, #2 and #5 were about 1/4 gone, and #3 and #4 were completely fine. Port fuel injection would have made that a really nice motor.
