Fully Built 225 Slant Six Pricing Question

How do you drive it (when you do so)
What are you gonna gain with the V8? Are you racing?
There's a lot more to converting to the V8 than many realize. If you don't have time for the car as is how are you gonna have time to pull it, get all the parts and do the swap? Exhaust, motor mounts, at a minimum, besides the engine and trans themselves. Then how "built up"of a v8? That ain't free either.
I could have V8 swapped my truck, easy enough. But I don't have the parts on hand that won't interchange between the/6 and the V8 so I built up (not as much as you have) another/6 that I had on hand. The $$ not spent on V8 parts (even just the ones needed to do the changeover) I figured would be better spent on building a better mousetrap so to speak out of the/6.... I'll know once the weather breaks whether I succeeded.
All great questions. I've owned the car for 20+ years, it's the 6th or 7th Dart I've owned, and the one I've owned the longest. I'm just tired of the 6 to be honest, I'm especially tired of a built 6. I actually preferred all my bone stock Darts, far less fussy and temperamental. I've never owned a V8 Dart and I'd like a motor that I can have someone else tune/repair when I don't have the time. Most shops won't touch a built 6 around here, and if they do, they don't really know what they're doing. So, it'd be nice to have a 360 I can basically take anywhere. So, primary reason is just, looking for a change. Also, I sold my 2011 Challenger RT Classic a couple years ago and it'd be nice to have a V8 back in the stable. :thumbsup:
