The "Indestructible" Slant 6

This thread makes me chuckle a bit as my buddy has a 56 bel aire. A couple winters ago we pulled a tired 265 out and put a fresh 283 in. Runs pretty good, but now he bought a 10:1 350 on the cheap that he is going to put in soon. He has a 440/727 combo sitting around for his 37plymouth project that has really just become garage decor. I always tease him we should put that 440 in and show everyone the real heartbeat of america. He smile and replies, "I have the technology but I'm afraid I'd get murdered at a car show."

A guy Power Toured in a 57 Chevy with a 440/727 a few years ago. The drivetrain came from a 1974 Imperial...he called it the "Imperial Starcruiser". Another guy has a 1957 Olds with a 392 Hemi in it; he's Long Hauled at least six times.
