rebuilding the slant6

Well, welcome to building a real motor.

The slant does not need anything special.Get stock style replacement pistons.Whatever rings and bearings you prefer.Call erson cams and talk to them for a suggestion on a cam,or you can just get your cam re-ground to hotter specs.Clean/rebuild the stock oil pump,if you are keeping it mild a single roller timing set will be fine.If you know how to port,go ahead and do some clean up on the head.You can have the head cut to bump up compression.A 2 bbl intake with a holley 350 should fit the bill. If you want a little more umph,get some bigger valves and go with the holley 500 2bbl. A nice single exhaust off the manifold,about 2 1/4 pipe.2 1/2 in. pipe if its compression bent.Any muffler you want.If you dont need manifold heat or a choke,you can go with headers.

That should do it.
