Performance Questions 225 vs. 360

Bill, I think you are kinda making my point here for me as to the cost vs power of the boosted 6 vs 360 to get to 500HP when looking at the build here. I'm not saying it can't be done & I'm certainly not knocking anybody who wants to go the turbo 6 cyl route, but there is a lot of time & parts not all that common when compared to the V8 swap. You can easily build a 360 to make 500hp using cast pistons & a set of ported "J" heads & bolt on parts.
If it's purely based on economical factors I believe the advantage has to go to the V8 swap. Even in a build that goes for 300hp. Something does have to be said for a slant 6 & the wow factor.
Again, I think it's really cool that guys take the road less traveled & make a slant 6 run it *** off! Thnking outside the box is what makes it better for all.
Rock on my friend!
