Hahaha, awesome post. If the system would let me, I'd rep you for that. I was thinking the same thing.

No offense 83, but I couldn't pick out one single coherent thought from your post. This is a technical forum regarding the application and maintanence of inline sixes. We should maintain a level of professionalism, within reason. That profane post just makes us look like angry people that don't own a dictionary.

It is nice to hear good things about the great 300 I-6 and what it can do. With that being said this is a family oriented website so keep the post clean. Watch the language so I don't have to pull out the big hammer

Good story. Took me a couple of do overs to piece everything together though



And yes. 300's forever!!!

Think if we went en masse to Dearborn with torches and pitchforks we could get em to crank out some new ones built with our suggestions in mind?

IIRC "83" is hearing impaired which I'm sure makes a problem articulating in a clear manner which is understandable...but the profanity is not acceptable.

Good story though

it's moments like these when i can't wait to wake up my poor tired 300 (which can still hold it's own), out tow and out pull a few v8's and then see the faces on those ppl when they finally get to see wat's under the hood! Glorious!

as said by Clifford...6=8

I am looking forward to putting my 92 with the 300 to work. I have borrowed it a couple of times when my chevrolet has been in the shop.

when you 'bag' a chevy, do you use paper or plastic?

The 300 is like the engergizer bunny on speed. Mine has so much blow by, it looks like a mini diesel stack if you take off the oil cap and rev the motor, the head gasket is blown, it has over 350,000 miles and it spent 7 years forgotten in a field. But, she just don't give up.

One of my buddies burried his 99 Dodge 4wd 33's in a bar ditch and sunk it to the frame. I came out there with my 200 ft long chain (it is out of a industrial chainfall). I parked my truck on the pavement for good traction gaver that dodge a half dozen tugs, then let her ripped and that big boat of a dodge came out as if the hand of God was pushing it.

I sold my '94 F-150 with the 300 a few weeks ago and just bought a new 08 ranger with the 2.3L. Good on gas, and for hauling little loads every once in a while. Gonna miss that old truck, and the powerhouse of a motor under the hood. My new truck might beat it in off the line, but doesn't even come close to the pulling power and quality built workmanship that dosen't compare to the more delicate new vehicles they built today. The old 300 will probably outlive my new truck, granted the owner changes the oil and fills er up with gas!
