It’s easy to make an engine reliable when it doesn’t have enough power to hurt itself.
So, #10 is the Ford 300 straight six, which they show a picture of...followed by a Bronco II which never had a straight six in it, ever! And the Cologne V6 that the Bronco II did have in them was a POS. At least they got a few of the other ones right.
I noticed that. The 2.9L in my bronco II was certainly a turd. I had big ideas about 5.0 swapping it but I ended up just selling it and buying an LJ.
You gonna watch Hillbilly’s Bronco build on Robby Layton’s channel?
I haven't seen the recent one yet but it's in my watch later list. I grew up with Fords so it always gets my attention when I see them. I still think it would be fun to take a bronco II and do a 5.0 swap, then 3/4 link it and beat on it without remorse.
Chevrolet 258.
Yet the British have the knack to build under powered engines that aren't reliable.
That Dodge/Cry slant 6 is a tank of an engine. My 68 Dart had it and while not quick, it hummed along without complaint. Never had an issue, no leaks, etc. The last roaches will be driving it when the earth is said and done.
The early Jag 6 is another beauty, sure some of the supporting bits are suspect, but it's a sweet engine.
