Hi All
I'm new here and working on my first project.
It's a 73 Swinger. Pulled the 225 and sent body to blaster.
I am trying to decide which way to go for power.
Either swap the 225 for a 340 or 360 build. Or maybe build out the 225 I already have.
Any insight on this? What HP can be realized from a 225 with mods? Any recipes for success?
I would also like to be able to drive this on the street.
Thanks
Dan
Slant six's have made approx 600 hp. Do you have cubic dollars. Something like that is race only, not for street. It is possible to build a slant for street use, in the 300hp range, but that is with a super/turbo charger.
Dart270 on slantsix dot org, has a Dart 225 turbo, 200r4 trans. He drives to the track (sometimes several hundred miles) gets low to mid 20's mpg, changes tires, and runs high 12's in the 1/4.
You need to determine how you will use the car, and what you want out of it.
