finally it looks like V-8 time

the little V-6 is working harder than the V-8. if you go back to the slant 6 make sure you at least use the newer head with hardened seats. that's the main reason I'm changing, I have about 35psi compression in all cylinders! I figure it doesn't make sense to do the head and not refresh the engine and for the same price I can refresh a v-8. if you simply pulled the V-6 out and replaced it with a nice stock 318 you'd probably get around the same mileage and have the extra power. another advantage is in handling. having that big six leaning over to the passenger side affects the way these little cars handle.
