Don't everybody laugh, but a friend is trying to talk me into keeping my 6 cylinder and souping it up. Anybody got any bolt on 250 speed equipment for sale cheap? Also, any opinions on this suggestion are welcome.
Thanks DC

I would get a new 4 barrel intake and carb, HEI, headers, and have the head ported and polished. Should give you a great little inline to run with.

to do it right, you'll spend twice as much money to have a motor that's no quicker than a smallblock... if you wanna be different, go for it, but if you're just looking for more power, build a V8....

I've got a nice Clifford 4 bbl intake with a 390 Holley carb on it. It's the ideal setup for an inline. The carb hasn't been run in years though so plan on a rebuild of it.

300 plus shipping. Not cheap I know, but 6 cyl stuff costs lots more to start with.

Lemme know if you need pics or more info.

Not saying you should buy it off e-bay or anything, I'd just forgotten the title of the book. It's supposed to be a great resource.

Half as much power for twice as much money...but just look at it! This stuff doesn't fit, so you have to make it work. That's called a challenge.
Then if you really start feeling confident that you are getting it all sorted out...hook up a 700-R4 trans and cruise.
