The slant or the 318

StrokerScamp said

Of course you wouldn't agree. You're in the know about slants. For a beginner, which is what I was talking about, my statement is dead nuts accurate. Without knowing how a slant reacts to a recam (which is differently than a V8), they are indeed easy to overcam. Since they require different specs than a V8 to run large cams, you can easily overcam one being a beginner.

I agree with that,especially when it comes to guys with experience with camming a V8,and trying to employ that experience into picking a slant six cam,is almost always going to be less that optimal(to put it nicely).

Two main things to remember for a slant vs. a V8 with cam choice is that and inline 6 gets its power stroke every 120* of crank rotation,and a V8 is every 90*.And as far as slant six vs. small block mopar in relation to flow(cfm) of the intake/exhaust Intake flow is relatively poorer than exhaust flow (flow ratio).
