I am really warming up to the V6 option in the chevelle. The 66/67 chevelle is my favorite car of all time. After I finish the restoration on my 68 C10 truck my plan is to get a hold of a chevelle. I just may follow in his footsteps and go for the V6. 300 Hp / 273 ft/lb of torque is plenty for that car and there are turbo kits to move that very close to 500 hp. Having a classic car like that and be able to drive it every day would be AWESOME.

He said double the torque. the 6.5 gets 440ft lbs stock... so 880 would be double (I actually thought it was 360 but I was just told I was wrong). I was just having a bit of fun. In actuality the v6 doesn't put out as much torque as the 6.5TD as you noted.
