Thread: which 6? 292,300 or 225

Tweet

I was thinking th same way as I had a ford with th 300 engine and it had pretty good torque and is the largest CI of the three. I think the 225 slant six mopar was a four main bearing engine, but I could be wrong.

300 is one of my favorite engies of all. If you could make it sound as good as a V* it might be my favorite but there's just no way a 6 banger will ever sound as good as a V8.

Different strokes for different folks. To my ear, there is nothing that sounds as good as a 6 with duals and 36" glasspaks.

Everyday I think I should get started with the swap but I just can't bring myself to give up the sweet sound of my 390 through turbos for the anemic raspy buzz of a six. Sorry. The 300 will get settled in somewhere, 268 Comp cam, dp offy with a 390 Holley, ported head. I have headers but will probably run the efi manifolds, through quiet mufflers.
