12 Second N/A Slant 6?
There's nothing inexpensive about that if you ask my wallet! Lol
I didn't say inexpensive, I said I didn't want to spend "big bucks" on an engine.
This build needs to get started so we can see some results
This is a project that will take me some time.
1st I have to upgrade to front disc brake & an 8 3/4 SG diff in the back. One has no business going fast if you can't stop fast!
After that I can start socking away parts for the engine rebuild.
I'm wondering though. Would I be better off going for a large 2 bbl carb over a 4 bbl? Would the trade off in HP be too much to gain some drivability?
I did once have a Carter WCFB 4 bbl that worked really well on my 301 '57 Chevy SB.
It was simple, trouble free & got decent fuel millage.
I see the WCFB recommended in some articles. I would feel pretty comfortable working W/one of those.
