/6...318...or 360???

I am going to throw in for the /6.
They have reasable power, and if TUNED right, excellent mileage.

For power, they are down to a V8. This is a given. But let's give them a reasonable chance in this fight:

• They are down in displacement, 30% less cubes then a 318, and 42% less then 360.
• Atrocious compression....Rumored to be around 7.5 to 1 most of the life of the /6
• terrible head, shrouded valves
• Freakishly bad intake system

With that in mind, were someone to come out with a stroker, bump compression, do something (Fuel injection) to deal with the intake, and even TOUCH the heads, the /6 is now able to stand in the ring.

My proposal, (and personal plan). The great equalizer (TURBO)

I intend to try to eliminate some of the above strikes against the /6.

Displacement is too expensive to cure.
Compression is perfect for boost, and live on pump gas
Head... will have to wait. Maybe a JY head, for porting, deshroud valves, etc.
Intake system..according to some is better under boost. Solves much of the fuel distribution issues.

So add a vote for the /6. I will keep everyone updated as progress is made. I need to get parts put together, figuring about 500.00 or so, doing most of the work myself.
