What would you do? Slant performance

Remember in being seduced by a V-8, the bell housings are different due to starter location. A new, for you at least, A/T would be needed, too. It's funny how folks say a V-8 is possible for $2K, until it is time to lay out the cash. All of a sudden there's a great divide between what someone says it can be bought for and what the going rates for the stuff is. Don't believe me? See the For Sale forums here on FABO.

You can't find a 318/auto junkyard dog for under$1000?????,forget the
headers,just add duals. Used alum. intake & carb combos from guys stepping up to
something bigger/better for under $350? Cams readily available for less than any slanty
grind? For just those parts alone on an un-rebuilt sound running 318 you have a low 14
second ride,you will be lucky to spend twice that to get your slant to run that...IF...that
is, you get it to run that. And a 360 is no harder to install,and not that much more coin,
and you're in the 13's, based on strictly$$$ it's no contest.
