Chris,
I think maybe you are the only hot rodder running a slant six. I know a slant six is a hard engine to kill but it can (and should) be done. Before that sweet little girl is old enough to know what a V8 is. The bumpers you're looking for are the same as a Barracuda so if you find them they'll be expensive. The good news is most high performance parts for a Barracuda will fit your car. Find a good Hemi or 383 or even a 318 to put in it and you're on your way to being a Mopar type hot rodder.

Al, Streets, you're killing me. I guess I will have to dig up the stats on slant racing. I think I saw something about a 9.45 second run a few weeks back...
Al, thr trouble is, you CAN'T kill 'em... they keep coming back for more...
Streets, that history is different from what I was given... must have been from a Found On Road Dead teacher...

Break open the piggy bank Chris, Streets obviously has too much time on his hands, and would love the challenge of making a Mopar fly!! Especially half a V-12!! See how good I am at spending your money, and Streets time??Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon

I've had a lot of BIG things happening to me lately but now I'm back to working on the car some, it feels good! The tranny mount was bad and that helped put everything back where it should be....
