... the bits and pieces of someone's effort to convert its 225 Slant Six to a Super Six. I got a carb from an old Volare and finished the job - it works, but I can't say whether or not it has better performance.
As to Slant Sixes, the buzz I have always heard is that they were under-carbureted, and benefited from more CFM if the exhaust piping was also enlarged. I do not know if 230/251 flatheads would also benefit.
I have attempted to attach a link to a web site that discusses that Super Six conversion.
