Good engines all in all, just enough and > simple. Never quite GOT the Slant-6 ... WHY they slanted it ..... My '86 Ford F150 has a inline-six. I think they went to a V-6 in '87. I had a '80 Camaro with an I-6 but the '82 Firebird was a V-6. I'd had a '51 Chevy with the old stovebolt 6 216 that was rugged despite the strange oiling system. I liked the slant sixes. The slant was to get a lower hood line. Supposedly the intake manifold made for better fuel distribution. If you wanted to hot rod it there were some good aftermarket designs. The only weird thing were the plugs. They sat in a sort of separate metal cup with an o-ring but they all were easy to remove. Then there was my '49 Chrysler with the straight 8. My to-be wife didn't enjoy becoming the duty driver. it was fine on the road but parallel parking it without power steering kept her biceps tuned up.
