So sick of the V8 or die guys...

I think factory original cars are nice too. Soup up the engines they came with. Back in the day Pontiac Tempest had a over head cam 6 w/a 3 speed trans that would blow the doors off stuff. I had a 68 Chevelle SS396 that I blew the engine & trans.I came across a 307 w/4 speed to put in for awhile. That combo would kick any bodies *** in the1/8 mi or little further.I guess what Im trying to say is... its not all about horsepower but gear ratios also. I say go ahead &build the slant 6 . It'll have more zip than most stock v8s.
