A couple of my 67's had 6's in them and I will going to 8 in at least one of them. The reason. A straight 6 truck in these parts no matter how nice won't resell like it would if it had an 8. I watched this several times on trucks and people I knew. They were scratching their heads people looking would say "if it was only a 8cyl."
I looked into buidling a 292 and it's a bit more than a stock-mild rebuild(flat-tops, perform cam can be done for around $600-700here), and that was a stock 292 adding goodies and the price goes way up. I'm keeping the 292 for a truck to be used like a mule.
