Wow, I take a few days off......
Wasn't the original scope of the question about bumping up a slanty to stock 360 V8 levels or something like that? I like the side track about spooling a /6, but it looks like you are building up the little motor to get to the mild performance level of a stock V8. In the endgame, you are still limited by the low flow characteristics of the stock slant head. The power adders overcome some of those limitations, but they are still limitations.
Not to be argumentative here, but with up tp 500 horsepower readily available to the turbo /6 builder, what "limitations" are you referring to?
Side note to the side track:
I would think that there would be more that could be accomplished with the addition of EFI to the turbo'd 6 (with better tunability).[/QUOTE]
My recommendation for a carburetor was based on what has already been done and in a K.I.S.S. mode, a proven line of attack. I'm sure you're right, that EFI would probably offer an improvement in driveability (if not power) over a blow-thru carb, which is usually problematic, at best, IF a good. workable EFI system could be implemented.
Just look at all these vacuum/boost lines/connections to our induction system: grievous complication...:wack:
