/6 Build Question?

You rarely see a worked slant6 in Australia now as most just go for the local hemi6.Bear in mind the last of the slants in Oz was 1969 so they've been obsoleted a long time over here.
I learnt building engines (and breaking them LOL) with slants.
Call it a return to my mis spent youth but I 'm accumulating bits to do another one.
Anyway,here's a pic of my car and engine from 1983.Ran a best of [email protected] car weighed 3060lb without driver and I was 132lb back then.
