Which engines are the best 6 cylinders. It seems I read somewhere that mid 70's models were lacking in durability. What was it and is there a fix now? And as far as value, which would be the best.

Here is how I approach this:
Nothing under a 3.0. Simple. You will see core engines (2.0-2.7) for cheap.. there is a reason. For what it would cost you to rebuild a 2.0-2.7 you could have bought a low mileage 3.0-3.2. I feel JP's case was pretty rare. He found a decent engine with good parts (under 3.0) I have access to a running 3.0 engine right now for 1500$ Complete. It has 80k miles on it and 2 broken head studs. I would pull it apart and fix the studs/re-ring it (maybe 800$ with gaskets and such) You really should buy the Bruce Anderson book. Dont buy or even look at a 6cyl engine for your car until you read this book. B |
