My point exactly, they are good motors in your eyes, even with some problems

Oh ya every engine has its problems to a point, which is another point i was trying to make!

I would like to get a 300 6 banger sometime and test it out. I know its not gonna be as speedy as the 302 that I am used to, but I would like to give one a run, se what the hype is all about!

i think you'll like it prep. its very diesel-like without the top end of one. lots of low end grunt and a cheap to run workhorse. i'd love to have another one!!
