Build Cost

Dollar for dollar, on the engine only, the 318 will out perform the slant six. However if you have a slant six powered car, and are thinking of installing the 318 in place of the slant, then you have to figure the cost of the swap. Now it becomes more equal, as to dollars to power.
This also assumes you already have both engines.

That is what I am thinking. Also with a / the gas mileage is better with a 2 or 4 bbl after a good rebuild?

Also is this the drop center link everyone talks about?
