Do slant six swaps make you feel guilty?

Lets face it, the slant sux was good for its time. It was the el cheapo, gets good mileage base engine that chrysler had to put in a car or truck because, well nobody buys new cars without engines. Lots of old people and cheap people bought darts and valiants because they were inexpensive basic transportation and the thrifty 6 fit the bill for them. I look at it this way, it worked well for its original intended purpose, but wont work for a hot rod. The amount of cash you can sink into a slant sux, you can have a hell of a V8 for the same amount of cash. Thats unless you just gotta have a hot rodded slant.
