Plus the decal on my window says low n slow...lol

Well i decided to put that money into the 250. I bought an offenhauser 5416 intake, edelbrock 1404 500 cfm carb, and stovebolt cast headers. I also located a 194 head to run on it(ups compression to 9:1(from 8:1). Heads out to get checked for cracks, when it gets back i will install all this. not doing a cam at this time. maybe down the road.

If it was me i would hop the six up. You said you had others to feed your need for speed. Nothing wrong with a nice cruiser.
If you don't mind, once your done with the bolt on mod's. Let me know how you like them and if it's worth it. thanks.
