Default Converting slant 6 to super six

Hey guys. After talking with some guys in another thread I think I have decided to convert my 225 to super six. Tell me if Im wrong because Im starting to start planning it out but from what I can tell the only conversion parts I would need would be an intake and the 2 barrel carb?

I think this is the most economical way to get more horse. I also plan on doing headers. Would you guys suggest I buy them online or try to find them at junk yard this summer? Is there any common mistakes that happen? Im not a mechanic at all so Im relying on you guys. Thanks

Wow, looks awesome!

I pretty much did the same thing with my 88 D100... but you went much farther!
