you mean the ol' 300 inline 6 cylinder? That was an awesome engine, last forever. We hauled junk with a half ton, 3 speed and could not kill that sucker. All the good engines of the past, chebby 350, Ford 302, Dodge 360/318, slant 6, 300 inline ford 6, all done away with for the high tech unreliable poo poo.
