It's not out of consideration yet. I have a 90's 350 roller motor under the bench. So will likely use that. I am super curious about how this 6-cylinder would perform in such a light vehicle. But then there's the sound. Sixes just don't have the appealing V8 rumble. The six that came with it is from a '68 Camaro. Supposedly has 305 or 307 pistons. I'd have to look. The two extra, from the set, are in a box. Also supposedly has a HP cam. He's looking for the paperwork. I might try the machine shop also. Was built at Smith Machine Shop in Wichita KS. It's good to have free options!
