Slant 6 Help

Sounds like you are young and just starting out.
Learn how to tune the slant to run the best it can.
Lubricate everything, suspension, u-joints etc, a 40 year old car needs attention all the time, make it reliable.
For a little get up and go swap rear ends, for something like 3.55 or 3.91, not cheap unless you find a doner car.
The slant is some what easy on fuel, so that means more money in your pocket to take the girlfriend out, etc.

FYI the same car with a factory 318 is a dog is stock form, so work with what you have, make it safe and reliable. Horsepower can come later.

A stock 340 will run low 14's at about 100 mph.

If that's what you want for your /6, it's pretty easily attainable...

You'd need to get a used, super six manifold (2bbl) and a blow-thru modified, Holley 2bbl carb (500 cfm), a PISHTA-designed turbo mount and a properly-sized turbo and waste gate.

You should also buy an alcohol/water injector.

All this will allow you to accomplish this wthout iever pulling the head off, and you can run pump gas (premium.)

That should put you dead-even, or a little ahead of a 340 Duster ('71.)

Below are two pictures of the PISHTA adapter/turbo-mount... the best way to do this.
