Slant 225 motor codes from VIN and trans mating questions

My resources are limited and I don't have room for parts vehicles. And I don't want to talk budget and savings in this thread. I am old and want to do projects I always wanted to before the reaper visits. Invaluable, priceless.

It's not like that around here, everything is expensive. Piecing together ancient parts for a super six is expensive and a real hassle IMO. Everyone has the same idea too. Nice new intake/carb/cam is better.

No reman/crate. Never had any luck going that route. If you have ever dealt with a warranty, you know what I mean. Plus I want to work the head.

But you made me reconsider, so thank you. I think I'll get a rebuildable core, 1980 down. Hydaulic lifter slants don't run well according to Rustyratrod and he knows.
