Fouind a slant six motor said to be from an 85 van. Would it be worth buying for spare parts for my 69 slant?

85 was hydraulic cam wasn't it?

That's a good year. Light crank and block and better head casting (apparently) than earlier models. Head weighs about 1-2 lbs more than a 74 down but 6-8 lbs less than 75-79 peanut plug head. I just built an '85 shortblock for my '64 Dart road course car, with K1/Wiseco rod/piston kit.
