I also think the slant is a great engine too. I like them too, but dont say that too loud or you might get handed a broken broom stick from someone.
Per the book there were well over 2500 76-77 f-s produced, far less in 76 then 77. My sunroof R/T seems to be like less then 500 and it would be a stretch to toss a number out there with any kind of accuracy.
I had a different sunroof F superpack car that if I knew better then id of kept it and replaced all it needed but I didnt, a regret I will have for a good bit of time.
I ended up with big block in the Aspen sort of on a not really serious comment form my buddy ("if you're going to swap from a slant 6 to a V-8, you might as well go all the way and put a big block in......") Then everyone that knew I was thinking about doing it said "it can't be done", "it'll never fit". Had to prove them wrong, didn't I?I think it comes from the thinking more is better, more cubes is easier to make more power.....period. That's how a got into 440s back in the early 80s. After I build my first one I started looking for a bigger crankshaft, this was before you could just order a new one and I found a 4.25 welded crank from someone, I can't remember now but my engine building buddy didn't like the idea so I held off. He didn't like the stock rod length and the 4.25 stroke, 4.15 works but not 4.25 and I didn't want aluminum rods after all it's a street car. Lol
