2.73 gears are kinda high sounds like to me,
hard to tell, what is the guy asking?
only thing i can tell you is look it over well, get under the car look for frame rot, spot the car with a magnet see if its a bondo bucket, look under the carpet, the rear quarter panels from inside the trunk, drive it and listen. i dont know alot about the slant six besides they are a good engine,
did he say what the compression ratio is with that set up? and what profile the cam has? must be a big cam and high compression with a stall like that,
