Automotive WI - Chrysler Slant-4 Engine

More or less, the part of the idea behind the Slant-4 was to develop a whole family of engines all built on the same production line from Slant-4 to V8.
 
They do offer some "packaging" advantages, which really only start to pay after the oil shock: lower hood height, so better aero. (I suppose you could say "lower cowl height", but unless it's 1951 or, I'm not seeing the benefit.)
