Slant Six Build Ideas

Sorry to start a new thread again, but I had to start over and ask my question again due to getting a rude answer the first time.

I want to build an economy slant six that is reliable and can be driven every day. The build will start with a 1972 225 slant six. The car it is going into has air conditioning and power steering.

My goals are to make up the power used to drive the accessories and to get about 20mpg. Car will be used mostly around town and I would like to use 3.23 gears. I was also thinking of installing a higher stall torque converter as well.

I am planning on a Melling oil pump, flow-kooler water pump, electronic ignition. I would like to keep it outwardly stock looking.

I would like to swap a camshaft. I was looking at AussieSpeed’s Evil Stick, Comp Cams, and Erson RV10.


Thanks in advance

Then just build a stock one. what kind of returns do you think you'll see from the overpriced Aussie camshaft with the snappy name? Without several other upgrades, you'll likely be wasting your money.
