I had to go with the FE. It would be treason to my current truck. I was really close to picking the 300 since after all the effort I put in trying to kill it I couldn't.
OK,OK......So it's only half an engine by most guys standards, but I've beat on several 2.3s and they kept on running. My 97 Ranger has the 8 plug 2.3 & it manages very well when put to task. I just got an 84 Mustang (2.3) from an estate with 21,280 original KMs & it runs like new. Too bad about the rest of the car.
V-8s..........The FE is king.
AL.
Dealford has a good point.
There are so many 2.3 I4 out there with second lives in race cars and trucks.
My friend would scoop up as much 2.3 engines as he could find. He loves the old Pinto engines. There were alot of performance companies that made tons of horsepower come from those 2.3 engines.
