Default Re: Want o go highway speeds ??? Need opinions.

As good as the 223 six might be there is no way I would trade my Merc flathead 8 for it. The smooth rumble of the V8 is a sound I'll never forget. The six just sounds boring. I rode a 59 Ford school bus with the 223 six. Tough and reliable old engine but a little under powered in that truck chassis. And of course no V8 sound.
