For $250 bucks, I don't think you can loose. The 4.9L (300) straight six is a fine engine. Mine's older and carburetted, but I love it; they run for a long time.

That ain't bein a trader.As long as you stay Ford,it's all good.But I think you're gettin yourself a good deal.As stated by others,you'll love the 300 I6.The one in my 80 is carb'd,and it's old and tired,but it just won't die.One of the most reliable motors i've ever seen.

Well, it's wrong, and, in this case, wrong enough so as to cause confusion as to what
is actually meant. So, I support him in saying something, I'm glad he did it.

This isn't a spelling error, it's a grammar error.

Ya know, when I was growing up, it seemed the teachers were constantly hounding us
about developing good English skills, emphasizing how important they'll be later in life
(especially if working in the Business world). Since then, the worldwide Internet has
come about, and people from all over the world are easily talking with one another
every moment of every day.

Seems the teachers were right....
