I thought it was a pretty cool deal. IIRC, the 225 has a 4.125 stroke, so RPM is limited and it's better built for torque. It seemed to plateau around 5000 RPM. In a light car, that thing would be a lotta fun. And I don't much care what Freiburger thinks is cool. There's a gold Duster that runs 10s with a Slant6, and that's definitely cool.
Kinda short stroked, imo.
The 230 I am building has a half inch more stroke, lol.
What is your bore and stroke and where did you get the crank?
Bore 3.25 Stroke 4.625
Stock 1952 Dodge 230 flathead six crank. Being built to swap in place of the stock 51 Plymouth 218
