Ok!!! So here is the million dollar question!!!! If you had to do it all over again would you convert to a flat-6 or a V-8? What is easier to convert? Seems like the V-8 maybe a little cheaper. However it seems like you have to cut your firewall out… is that also true? (Please note I am no wheres close to it yet but I need a plan!)
What Trans is the best to go with? I was think of a 73-76 side shift 901 with a billet heavy duty intermediate plate from a 70-72? (this would be built as street car… NO-auto cross….) |

It all comes down to power to weight ratio. An aircooled six is not going to be as heavy as a SB V8 with a radiator up front. It is also going to be less weight disproportionate. Just beacuse a Mustang or a Vette have more hp, you are going to be lighter - and faster.
If Jake jumps on this thread I am sure he would tell you exactly why his 4s are better that any 6 (I know he has explianed it poit by point in the past, it may be worth it to try and search for that 4 vs. 6 thread). |
