    My '64 ford pick-up has a straight-six (291) as it's guts.
    I'm damn proud but I wanna give it some more "go"!!! please help me out, give me some tips, what do I buy?, where do I buy? I'm beginning to think that the only way to make this thing go a little quicker is to buy a pair of shoes with thicker sole's so I can push it faster. DAMN THE V8 & V6!!
    (envious curse) I might just swap it out for one of the two....probably save some money.

    Better remedy....Big Block V8 [​IMG] [​IMG]

    You can probably find a running V8 to swap in cheaper than a "hotrod" intake for that boat anchor 6

    do this to a 300 inch six and go racin'.
    If you were Crow, or Ravin or someone that I knew I'd say fab and intake and exhaust then choose a cam to go with it and spin it 'til it comes apart.

    But I don't know if any of that makes sense to ya. So lets leave it with
