My thoughts on a slant six---my reciepe for a dependable bracket motor

Stock 225 with a little higher compression (close to zero deck if possible.

Long rods would be nice, but not neccesary

4 barrel intake with 600 cfm double pumper

long tube header to fit the trucks

Camshaft that isnt to much bigger than stock (still need tourqe to get that thing moving)

28-30" tall tires

3.91-4.10 gearing

auto trans with manual valvebody or 3.09 first gear 4-speed (found in mid seventies A & F bodies--convert to long shaft for truck use)

I figure that should make it a fun package that is super dependable and runs great---should put it in the 16 sec range im thinking, but im just guessing too.
