I would keep the i6 in it. IMO, the 302 aren't as reliable as the 300, but if the motor was "given" to you, than what the heck.

That is crap, The 302 is <b>FAR</b> more reliable than the 300. I have never seen a 300 go over 150k without at least needing a semi-rebuild, as a comparison, I have <b>had</b> 4 302's go over 250k with one hitting 310k with a broken speedo for 1 year. Like I have always said, the 300 is way overrated.
