I have a 71 Dart Swinger with a 225 in it, but what's more interesting is that I just finished helping a friend put a slant six in a 70 Nova!
I got the engine from a wrecked truck for $25.00 about a year ago. My friend and I were knocking back a few cold ones while discussing the possibilities for his Nova. I offered the 225 and help installing it. A month later we have a 70 Nova with a 225 slant six, a 904, and a ten bolt rear.
He did most of the cutting and welding himself. It is amazing how tight the fit was. Especially when you consider that there are 70 Novas running around with big blocks in them.
Anyway, that is one of the most satisfying installation I ever helped with. Mostly because It REALLY PISSES OFF THE CHEVY GUYS around here!
I also had a 57 Ford Fairlane with a 360/727 combo in it. It was a straight six with 3 on the tree when I bought it for $25.00 in two payments.

Thanks,
