6=8 and bore over?

over the last 3 decades I have had everything from hemis, max wedge, 440-6, 340-6, slants , 318,360, 383,400....... I have found fun in all of them....

like already said, pull the gas tank and carb,,, and clean, kit, new pickup/sock, good dist. coil.etc.. all new rubber lines... check comprssion, valve lash, ( slack at timing chain?).... I say, give the slant a chance, get it running right, and if YOU so desire, like said before, then find a good LA or Magnum to get to a good runner, and swap it in later to see if that gives you want you want. spend your $ wisely. have fun..
or when the slant runs good, you might be total happy with it. who knows but you!?
