Some of us actually like the sixes. I have no pictures to post of my 250 in my 68, but it has the super cool 6-into-2 header on it, which makes it sound like a Hi-Po small-black at idle. I also have a 250 out of a 66 GMC which will be my builder for my truck. Why be a sheeple with a V-8?
George: You might try www.inliners.org for more info on L6 4200 swaps. Big hurdle for us old timers is that new-fangled computer stuff. I mean if you're cruisin' out by Roswell and some low flier buzzes anywhere near you, it degausses the E/Prom and you're stuck waiting for a tow.

I'm just bummed GM didn't make a 4800 L6 [292].
