Cheaper than dirt 318 build

lud said

My slant six is a slightly modified one out of a 63 Plymouth Belvedere it makes good power for a slant. I've recently put a 2 barrel on it and completely opened the exaust up. It makes power but it's either I could dump money into different gears in the back i currently have 2.23, or I could get a v8

Go V8 then, you could dump $3,000 into that slant and still barely make 300 HP unless you added forced induction. Sounds like you know your way around modifying old engines, some guys come on here with zero experience asking the same kind of question about a SBM build/swap so we tend to be "conservative" in our recommendations off the bat.

That 3.23 gear would work well with a mild 318 and the deep 1st gear of your A-833 OD, and you would be able to actually use 4th lol.
