/6 in a sm block car

Maybe someone just wanted to get the car running and that's what they had available at the time.

My daily driver is by vin a 68 GTS, but I bought it as a body shell with no driveline. I literally dug it out from where it sat.

I had a running slant taking up space in the garage. Its a 30 minute job tops, to switch a k frame out when there is no engine in the car.

Been driving the car for 6 years with the slant, most reliable car I've ever had.

Its hard to know what happened to the op car or when, but times change and sometimes things make sense at the time that are head scratchers later lol.
