6 cyl a230 ?s

Thank you all very much. TO clarify a couple things.

This would be a once in a while to town type street car, with some strip use. I dont mind sacrificing comfort or cruising at low RPM for acceleration. 3k at 60mph would be fine for my uses.

I plan on putting some sort of 360 in it, that appears to be the most realistic bang for your buck.

I would be very happy running high 12's

No hard budget, just $=time.

This car will be a stick regardless of downsides.

You guys are great.

Chris
