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

Well gosh and here I was giving you more good help in your new thread never realizing "I" was the one who made you go hide under the kitchen table. Sorry you got all hurt over something that was considered tongue in cheek like a bunch of guys sittin around a shop. Feel free to use any of my free advice, but I'll bow out since I'm not appreciated. Remember, not everybody is like you, everyone is different. Good luck with your build. It sounds like a good one. Just know, no one gets paid for years of experience and advice around here.
