Small block rebuild

I have 2 slants, ones in a dart with an automatic and the other is in a wagon with a 3 speed. The dart is okay IMHO performance wise. The slant in my wagon on the other hand is super quick and fun to drive! I enjoy them both and they're really reliable and efficient.
If you have a running engine and you're unsure about what you want, then wait.
A swap costs 3x's as much than you think and takes 3x's as long to complete.
Enjoy the car and maybe consider a v8 car later.
