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.
