Who else ever felt this way?

Slam dunk! Get a cheap roller and have the runner and a project.

What's your General location?

I will keep the slant 6 after the swap, maybe do a refurb on it and put it in the next car in the future. I have too much invested now, but if a near perfect 67-73 Dart that only needs an engine and trans falls in my lap in the NY, NJ, CT or eastern PA area then I might consider that for the right price, lol.
