It is possible but I don't think it is a good choice for your application. I would search a slant six performance forum. There are intake manifolds for slant sixes available, but remember that you will need a VERY small 4-bbl and these a somewhat hard to find. You will also have to make a custom kickdown linkage for the tranny although a slant six forum may have ideas. The 225ci slant six is very easy to over cam and there are not that many off the shelf options so agian look on a slant six forum. I will warn you though on a truck motor a 4-bbl and a cam may make it not very street friendly.

I am actually in the process of rebuilding a slant six for a 1980 Dodge aspen I have. I just finished porting the head, and the lower end is going to be back together in a couple weeks. The motor is going to get Multi-port fuel injection run by MegaSquirt.

Holley used have a 390 CFM 4 bbl. carb. Don't know if they still do or not. It was a good carb for smaller engines.
