The slant or the 318

I'd build the slant. I think the OP decided the same too before the 2nd page was even started. Bill's beginning posts were very informative to me (non-slant educated) and probably many others. He pin-pointed the slants strengths and n/a limitations very effectively. 805kid I love the S/S slant Dart you've got I imagine there's a lot of WTF responses when you pop the hood.
