If someone is going to start looking for a 6 to build what do you want and what do you want to avoid?

2.7 is a great hot rod motor, especially if you plan it right and have the money. To specifically answer your question. The first 2.7 were not as big an issue. When the thermal reactors were added ( emissions b.s. ) THAT is when the 2.7 became a real (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) The cams were flat, the reactors caused the engines to run hotter than they rightfully should, the head studs were a real issue with either pulling from the heads or flat out breaking ( usually flush with the head) Yes the 3.0 still had stud issues but no where near as great as the 2.7 did. I personally have one of each and plan on full rebuilds, each with different specs, but each just as reliable in the end.
