273 or 225?

It used to be easier to find a guy with a GOOD running slant that the owner wants it out of his garage, would sell it cheap or even give it away! They are out there. BUT don't get such and spend un needed $ on it! That is the reason to find good slant and NOT build one! IF you love the whole slant thing, then find a good core and later build it how you want. If you want to go V8, at least you have nothing in a good running slant you can sell or give way!

Like I said earlier join a local Mopar club and get rides with different powertrains and see what you actually will want!
