I have all gas vehicles because my useage doesnt justify diesel, but i vastly prefer it. I once almost bought a delta to throw the 350D in my 78 Omega, and if i ever get the chance my Ranger and maybe my Bronco II will be repowered with Cummins products.

Said the truck driver... Hhmmm..... a Ranger could easily hold an older 4 cylinder Detroit..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZXT 2,401 #30 Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) 5 hours ago, ebinmaine said: I'll agree with a V8 engines.... But I love the straight sixes. I've had 302, 351, 460 in various Vehicles owned by myself and my father over the years. although they can definitely be massaged quite a lot I've never been a huge fan of any particular V8. I like stuff that's a tiny bit unconventional. I've had several of the Ford F-series trucks with 300-6s in them. That and a 292 GM straight 6 are two of my favorite engines. I would absolutely positively go get another 1992 to 1995 F series with a 300/ 5 speed in it, in a heartbeat. Starts great. Runs great. Gobs of torque. I had fantastic luck with those trucks. I second the 300-6 statement. They will run forever and have good power for their size. Reliable as can be. I do have a 292 GM sitting in the shop, sitting there ready to be transplanted into something worthy. Bryce, that's some nice looking country!

I do have a 292 GM sitting in the shop, sitting there ready to be transplanted into something worthy. Bryce, that's some nice looking country! Here's a quote from an older thread about the 292 I once had: Love the old straight 6 engines. Had a 292 in an 81 Chevy. Heavy 3/4 ton chassis with 9 leaf one ton tear springs. Turbo 400. 4:56 rear. Offenhauser aluminum intake with a 450 cfm Holley model 4380 mechanical secondary carb. Found a bigger exhaust manifold ( from what I can't remember). Chevelle mid sixties front pipe. Turbo muffler. Changed the ignition timing a bit. Went down the road well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
