Default More HP

How can i get more hp from my inline 6 without buying a new engine? Or would it be better to buy a 289?

Inline 6's came with what 120 stock HP? Don't sweat investing alot of money into a v6 if power is what you want, they are pretty rare now and you might be able to get a good bit of money to invest back into a solid v8 project...Is it your daily driver?

I wonder how much HP that thing makes? I can't remember what they done in the 60's to make them run (serious head work I think) but I know a lot of tracks banned them because they were spanking the V-8's. Bad for bussiness.

depends on how much hp and torque you looking for over 200na will be hard. most people swap in a smallblock there cheaper to make power with good luck.
