/6 or v8 swap?

I never take cars to shows but I do like to attend and see and visit with non ego folks. The slant will get more conversation anywhere, show, gas station, anywhere, and the /6 to v8 has been done 5 million times! I have driven 5-6 slant cars bone stock, I have 2 super sixes right now, I have swapped out several slants for 318 and 360's. I like it all.
If you go slant, the engine can gain some omp with milled heads and right cam. OR, NOT to mention the turbo. Eye candy would be the dual single carb setup although NO benefit over a good 2 bbl no doubt.
