Stop in for a cup of coffee

k... just curious.. does the /6 turn over? what exactly is going on? I don't recall reading about it... If the goal is to get the car on the road i would repair the /6 OR hit marketplace/CL and buy another 6.... car could be up in days with almost no money spent and /6's are awesome... for some reason i thought the car was a 273 to start with..

P.S. if it's a pushbutton car, fix/replace the 6... just my 2 cents.. but i'm also stupid :)

No... it actually has a (relatively speaking) built 225 Slant 6 in it. Bored, decked, 4 barrel, headers etc..... something broke during the transmission fiasco (why am I not completely flaming that guy again???). Might be a broken rod... uncomfortable rattle/clanking above idle. Almost no power as I coaxed it home.
