At that point in my life, there wasn't much chance of anyone keeping up to be

I drove a 1968 Dodge Dart with a 225 slant six...

68 Plymouth Belvedere Sta Wagon with a 318. Dad's Duster that the 225 with 3
on the tree.

The 318 had just a little more power than the 225... :-)
In 1968 the 3580 lb Belvedere V8 wagon had 230hp, for 15.56 lb/hp
while in 69 the 2550 lb 225 Dart Custom 4 door put out 145 HP for
17.58 lb/HP.
So not a REAL BIG performance difference. Something like 13%?
