From reading the threads on slants you can throw a lot of money at a slant with zero improvement. Most say it takes lots of head work and a big damn cam to make those things breath. I cant see putting 4-5k in an engine and only running 15's. You could do a rebuild on a 360 for a few grand and run 12's. Find yourself a good used LA 360 four barrel motor for a few hundred. Reuse everything you can and put some better pistons in it and a good cam and some cheap headers and there you have it. Did you take the drive train out of the dippy, a 318 can be made to rip just as well. Does the Caravelle have a 8.25 diff. Did you get the 904 from the dippy.
To answer most of the above. No.
Didn't grab the engine, tranny nothing. No time. Long story.
Nope.. Got a puny little 7.25 in the back and a 904.
I read an article on allpar written by the guy who designed the "Super Six"
His take was even an exhaust improvement would make a big diff. We're talking serious low buck.
I'm not really expecting to blow any real numbers.
Like I said, I'm just having fun with my little slant.
When/if the day comes around where I want to drop an 8 in her.
I'm going 360 for sure.
I do thank you for your input gents. :glasses9:
