Why the /6

i'll make a few points here not rising to the surface.
I don't intend to get in a political argument, write a paper on the state of the U.S. and world economy, interest rates, inflation, condition of the stock market, financial well-being of state governments,pric e of bacon, beef, and peanut butter..... the
teasurey, etc......
But consider: droves of the population move from the cities and suburbs to small town America and even the rural countryside....seeking a simplier and more affordable lifestyle... getting back to basics,trying to find an afforable lifestyle, etc.....

I am now in the senior citizen, fixed income category.....i'm like a friend of mine, my age and financial status, .... he has a restored 65 273 dart, but has a slant driver,...and like he says, as time goes on, he CAN work on the slant, he has garage full o f parts,... yes a new say, Dart would get better mileage, but he will never be able to work on it or take it to the dealership for repairs ?or to local mechanic to work on it....
one of the guys hear reports HOW many people read this as compared to reading bout the sb bb and hemi. point I would make is how many people are on the FABO site whether it be interest in sb slant or what?????. compared to FBBO, e body site???? fact is the A body is the most afforable of the old mopars.... and the slant car the most affordable of the slants. period, initial cost of project car, driver, restored car, parts, what have ya?????
now its a fact, I love to put my foot in a mopar with a big honkin motor, feel that sucker pin my back against the seat, see that speedometer rising above that 110 mark, wondering when the front end might get a little too light, or blow a tire, poke a rod thru the side of the block., feel that adrenalin, have flashback to wrecks in my earlier days, get a little sweaty somewhere....... but then again I love my old slant,TOoooooo.....

I too, am on a fixed income, am 75 and retired... but I'm not DEAD, (yet) and want to have some more fun before I take my last ride, soo....

I think you can have your cake and eat it, too in this instance...

Keep the slant six (just make sure it's in an A Body,) and add a hairdryer...

Three hundred horsepower is readily-available with a stock short block, and that will outrun a lot of V8s...
