Build Cost

I am a big fan of the slant 6 but dollar for dollar I think the 318 will out power the slant.
Did what I call a high school rebuild(rings+bearings) on a 318 using a Edelbrock kit.Carb,intake,cam,lifters valve springs and some cheap summit headers,dual exhaust all in a 80 Volare' wagon.In full street trim the thing ran 15.30's all day at the track.Cost was a little over $800 bucks.About the same amount was spent on a 67 Dart with a 225 and the times were 15.90's at the same track. Very close but the Volare' out weighed the Dart by almost 900 lbs. Again I love my slants but bang for the buck you just can't compare. In a normal asperated engine, cubic inches just may have the winning hand.
This is just for reference.
