Really?  I've driven both and found them pretty different. YMMV.

There are many arguments in favor of older cars, but all the praise I've
heard about the slant six is in reference to its durability and economy.  If
you want something fun to drive from an american manufacturer in that time
frame, you might be better off looking into a small V-8.  You will certainly
find that there are more parts available for making it more fun.  You'll
also have to find a solution to absolutely numb steering and brakes, at
least if they are power assisted.  Surely, the mopar mailing list folks
would have gobs of info on this.
