Thoughts on a 225 rebuild

I lost your reasons. If changing to a V-8 later, why rebuild the slant for more power? If the compression is good, your only reason might be to up performance. All oil leaks can be fixed w/ engine in the car. Anyway, visit slantsix.org for ideas. There isn't much choice in pistons for a slant and $$$ for high-end.

Im saving the motor for a custom car i'm building later, no sense in throwing out something that can be used, at this point, I'm going to work on the 318, put that into my car, and rebuild the slant to stock (or close) specs, then put it away for later. I've fixed most of the leaks by now anyway, the current one is coming from the oil pump, i'll get to that later.
