inline 6

i just bought my nova. im told it used to have a high-pro 396 in it, but the guy i bought it from had swapped in a 250. i have the mounts for a 396, and the car has air shocks and everything, it just lacks a beefy engine.

a) what kind of modifications can be made to an inline 6, and would it be worth my time?

b) could i buy a block and an engine rebuild kit to make the engine i want? obviously i'd have to buy a new cam and carb and such, but would i have the main component for an engine? (go easy on me if im totally wrong about this)

dont waste your time with the six put the v-8 back into

Yea, if you dont have the money to put a V-8 in, just wait on it and just keep the 6 running, but its not worth dumping money into a inline 6. As long as its running ok.

i see your point. but what about part b? anybody know about that?

no you would have to buy all new parts

thats what the rebuild kit is for, though..all new parts.

i am talking like distributer spark plugs spark plug wires water pump fuel pump new radiator all new belts stuff like that

i wouldnt keep the old ones anyway. theyd ugly up my pretty new engine
