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

I too have to throw in for the slant. The 225 slant gives up almost 100 cubes to
a 318. Yes a stock slant has about 7.5 to 7.8 compression. Most later 318's
(what you can realistically find in the junkyards or trader paper) are in the low
8's for compression. At Summit a set of speedpro pistons that would give 9.25
compression with a 57cc head are $49 EACH. I bumped the compression on my
slant to 9.2 for $90 with a head shave.

Besides, if you get beaten with a slant, nobody brags that they beat an old
slant.

Granted slants are a sickness that will grow on you. If I needed to go faster
then the slant would take me, I have a 440 laying on the garage floor, and
360's are REALLY cheap at the junkyard.
