Thankslongbox55.. you has been very helpful.. I would love to persue the hopped up straight 6 you reminded me of one I saw, and I have only seen one, at a show and the guy had 3 carbs on it and it sounded vicious when he cranked it.
I was utterly amazed... think I will look into finding someone that can get me fixed up with that possibility..
I really really liked the way that looked in the truck I saw.
