My slant 6 gets low 20's mpg.   :2thumbs:

Performance is zero.   :icon_smile_blackeye:


Get a 318..  :yesnod:

Are you thinking of a V six? I think you need a 6 K frame for the slant 6, :scratchchin: a V six might be cool with the AOD auto! (and cheaper to do)

Do a 5.7 with a carb kit and a 518...        total cost would be around a $3500
