Aren't those V-6's the regular 90* stuff or were the early ones 60* engines??? fed387

I looked at 82 through 85, the V6 is the low performance 173 60 degree V6. About as desirable as a social disease, at least to me. At least a shot will likely cure the social disease.

I take it you want to build a carbureted automatic combination.

As I said I personally would avoid the 60 degree V6 like the plague. I would have to seriously consider a 4 speed with the 305 though, but an automatic might do okay.

Alan is right stay away from that 6, its not the same stuff they run in SS and comp.
