rad support you can just cut for a 26" outta the 22" one. Super easy to do and no one will ever notice its been cut. Used tape and a cut off wheel.

I am not 100% sure. Vin said 273 and I find it hard to believe someone swapped the k frame just so they could swap a slant on it. Can you tell by looking at it?

Kinda what I was thinking. It runs pretty good and I know there are some slant lovers In the a body forums.

Thanks man. I think I got a pretty good deal. We were both happy when we walked away so It’s all good.

You can put in a 318 but after the first drive or 2, you’ll wished you had gone bigger

Motorhome 440 with a GM TBI spreadbore and twin turbos blowing through.
A local guy did that to a Lincoln MkV with a 460 and you wouldn't believe how that tank runs .

Depends on the part of the country you live in! If it is hundreds of mile between gas stations then the 318 is a great choice ;)

Nope, gas station on every corner. So I won’t have far to push it when I run out haha

Well no one has asked. What is your budget ? If limited then the small block sounds good.If not then the sky is the limit.
Either way you will also need a transmission to go with what you chose.
If you were closer I would take that Slant drive train in a heart beat.
