Is an M body with a 225 slant 6 a good vehicle or is the 318 the better vehicle?
Yeah, that's my fear. That it couldn't get out of its own way.Depends on what you want. Is it reliable? Yeah, every bit that the 318 is. Is it as slow as a two legged dog? Yup.
I wound up getting an 85 with the 318 and you are right, it takes its time getting up to speed, but I smile every time I take a trip in it!my Pops dailyed a 83 slant 6 Dip for years when i was growing up. from what i remember, a very smooth driving and reliable car but on the interstate, it goes its own pace. it'll do it. he drove back and forth from the city to county everyday in it in the early 2000s. just don't plan to be in a hurry in one but nonetheless. even civ spec 318 Dips take their time getting up to speed (or at least mine does...). if there is one you have your eye on, save it. not many left esp 80s ones
This, I would suggest, depends entirely on your intended use.Is an M body with a 225 slant 6 a good vehicle or is the 318 the better vehicle?
