Slant Six Roadster Build

GGs66GT said

If I ever swap out my /6 for a V8 I want to build a roadster .

I’d use the 225 with a Hyper pac manifold and TBI along with long tube header’s into a single 3” exhaust that runs out the back . Of course I’d use the 904 and the 7.25 rear axle from my ‘66 Dart .
Of course a solid front axel with disc brakes hidden in Buick fined drums .
Tires would be big littles maybe white walls .
Wheels most likely painted steel .

Yea the slant 6's are plenty of power for a roadster! Plus it's a fun engine you don't usually see in hot rods. I would love to get one of the AussieSpeed long runner Hurricane intakes but that's just too much out of the budget for now. Right now I have a Holley 1920 which starts up quickly and runs great. I've got the motor tuned pretty good and can get it to idle at 550 rpm. I could probably go lower but it stops at 550 once the idle screw is backed all the way out. I have it set at 750 now in park. Will set it to 700 with the headlights on once I get them hooked up.
