Wow Bill! Thanks for the inspiration...Yes it has the original 225/6...My sons and I believe we could prime it up stick a battery in and it would bust off. It hasn't been run since 1988. It must of had an oil change done before it was parked...it looked brand new, never run. It would defiantly be a different type of "rod" for these parts. Again thanks, I'll keep the project posted.

Thanks for listening, Norm.
Like I said earlier, you can swap a V8 into that car while you are THINKING about putting a turbo on that slant six if time is at a premium, but some folks have the available time and patience to give to a project that is A/A "Different." and would rather have something a little out of the ordinary, than to end up with, yes, a fun car, but one that is in no way "special," neither mechanically, nor cosmetically.
I think the slant car might be a little cheaper to build, but not much, due to things you already have, and wouldn't be forced to buy..
You pays the freight and makes a choice!!!! I don't think you can really make a mistake, either way...
Good luck!
PS Have you tried the local Minute Man, lately? In El Dorado, you are very lucky to have the LAST SURVIVING Minute Man, a burger place whose sandwiches I grew up on (1960's), with my favorites being a #6 with cheese, and a #2 with cheese.. and, of course, their "RADARANGE" (microwaved) individual fruit pies... Scrumptious!!!:blob: Microwave ovens were a big deal when they opened the first Minute Men in Little Rock (very early '50's I think...)
I am considering driving down to El Dorado for a burger (or, two.) If'n I do, maybe we could get together for a bite... I live in Conway.
