273 or 225?

Hey all,

Im trying to rebuild my ‘66 Dart and have came to yet another dilemma. My recent intentions were to rebuild the stock slant in the car, and try to hot rod it out a little bit, but now a new opportunity has risen. I found a ‘65 with a 273 that I could use as a parts car to make the swap to a v8. Is it worth the extra time and money to v8 swap the Dart or should I continue with the slant build? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
For myself, I would go with the 6. Nothing like the sound of dual exhaust 6. Use an X pipe to take the rasp out. You won't make the HP with 6 holes that a V8 can provide. For syreet driving torque is what you need and the 6 will provide that and get good fuel economy doing it. On the street you can suprise a lot of V8s with a well built leaning tower of power. On top of that you have something different in the row at the Cars and Coffee meetup. Too many cars had Chevy small blocks stuffed in them. Now it is LS engines. Zipper engines making transvestites.
