FINALLY; it runs with some authortity!!!!
Wow good job. I am just starting learning and you guys are my /6 heroes. I want a t/6 but that's gonna take time. Thanks for the read. Awesome!!!!
It is not something you want to do with the idea that it can be done quickly or easily, although over the last two years or so, good information is a lot more readily available than it was even eighteen months ago.
There are two facets of this project that seem to me to be the hardest to get done correctly: 1. Accumulating the RIGHT parts the first time, so you don't have to buy anything twice, and 2. Getting it properly "tuned" once it's operational.
Neither is easy, but neither is impossible, either. Knowledge is power. Learn as much as you can, before spending your hard-earned cash for parts so that you only have to buy them ONCE.
There are lots of experienced folks here and on SlantSix.ORG will be more than willing to give you information and advice, just for the asking.
The financial picture of building one of these cars is affected mightily by the fact that compared with building an engine-swap V8 car, there will be a whole lot of things you will NOT have to buy for a slant-6 car that would be necessary for the V8.
I would decide on a desired engine output (say, 300 horsepower, or whatever) and find someone who has built one like that already, and build a copycat motor, if theirs works well. That would take a lot of the guesswork out of the project.
That is exactly what we did.
Good luck and remember; the only stupid question is the one you don't ask!
