Haven t been on a while but was Just wondering If i wanted to get more power out of slant six, is there a way of doing it without spending a ton of money and hard to do. I am really new and kind of fell like I want to try something new.
Also where do I start looking for the parts,kind of confusing looking online with so many things that pop up.

Thanks

As with any other engine cost will be determined by how much power you really want to add. Also, it helps to have a realistic goal before you start.

If you want to spend $300 and have a motor that will spank big blocks you will be very disappointed.

I figured that, I was just trying to get some suggestions where to look. Thanks for the info.

The best place to look for ideas of what to do for your engine is this site. Do some basic searches for things like "cam selection" or "what carb" or "four barrel" etc... and familiarize yourself with what other people have done and what can be done.

Also, most people who have experience with the slant six will tell you that the big name parts places (like Clifford) are actually bad places to go looking for hop-up items to buy for the slant six. You are much better off doing the homework and making some realistic goals. Figure out your intended use and realistic RPM range. Daily driver? Weekend cruiser? 1/4 mile rocket? 3000 RPM? 7000 RPM? Finally, what is your budget? These parameters will dictate how you build the motor and what parts you should buy.

Have you done a valve adjustment and recurved the distributor?
How about trying some different carb jets?

There is power to be found in your current engine... you just have to spend the time to find it.

Go to Frequently asked questions right here on the engine page. Engine build matrix may be a good place to start.
