A slant really works best in a light weight car. I'd go with a more modern approach if I was doing a super light bucket, like the powerplant in your garage, but I'm sure it supplies enough power to delight.
Update Bought a Ford 8.8 with 3:55 gears also found a 83 New Yorker with a 318 cheap. Not what I eventually want , but I think I can make 250 - 275 hp with a good intake 4 bbl ,cam and dual exhaust, I have a set of LA later A body headers that I think I can modify to fit. Going to Jefferson tomorrow to look for goodies. My goal is a cheap fun car. We’ll see Dan
