so... were they good engines?
whats the mileage potential of a 6.2?
can i get a decent amount of power out of the engine?
how reliable are they?
im not looking a tow rig couse i already have one of those im just keeping my options open for a "next project"  |
Ive heard that the newer ones like after 86 or something were very reliable, but the earlier ones are more prone to breaking. But yes low on power but good MPG, which is fine with me. If you put a turbo on it it should wake her up good.
