RustyRatRod's Guide To Hot Rod Bliss

so it basically means that for a newbie on a budget ....a v8 Namely 360 or teen is the way to go ....completely understandable.

Some of us are slant six fans but sometimes it is what it is ....nothing more and nothing less.

If a slant is what you have, work with it. A step up from the one barrel and open the exhaust system and she's worlds better (still not gonna snap your neck, but it'll at least get out of its own way). Put an od 4 speed and some 3.55s and you've got a fun, reliable ride on a budget that will actually get 'decent' gas mileage.
