It's no wonder the Slant 6 is so great!

You can also change the starter without crawling under the car. I've had 4 other slant 6 daily drivers in my life. The vehicles all turned to crap, (Minnesota winters), but the slants all still ran good. Sometimes it's fun to make the best of what you have. Would I rather have a 340 car? Sure, and if I can ever kill the slant 6, I probably will.
