Back in the day the V6 was Ok for what it was designed for. They like a Y block ford where dogs when it came to high performance. Slow turning poor design and lots of internal friction. Ive owned several 305,s a 351 and a 478 Toro Flow diesel. In the PK,s I swapped in small block chevys and was much faster & happier and used a lot less fuel. Not to hurt anyones feelings but the V6 is a obsolete outdated design. there not practical in todays world. They should be considered antique oddities.
