The 90 deg v6 they conjoured up back in the day by lopping off the last pair of cylinders of a 350?

I do not have much experience with v6 motors, seemed like a waste of time to me. But if you are having good success then good for you! Just a bailout away from true nirvana!!!

Not saying that fords are perfect, and I am not a mustake fan by any means. I have owned and worked on alot of stuff and ford just gets it right more than the others. Eyeball the paint on the bottom of a chevy truck and then look at a ford truck. You will see why the fords last longer. Ford just make a better truck. But gm have the vette, so we are even... wait a minute, no.

Nope, that's the Series I. That one sucked. They ran rough when they were brand new...

The Series II has a purpose-built 60 deg. engine block. Much smoother. Even my NA engine has great torque. My friends look at me funny when I tell them my Granny car ('95 Bonneville) has bigger cylinders than a 5.0 Mustang (albeit only 6 of them...).

Gotcha, 60deg is required to get a v6 to run smoothly. Or if you happen to be volkswagen then you make it very narrow angle and place it in a crap car and people will flock to it cause they think hitler had something to do with it so it must be good...

The 4.3L V6 was the chopped down 350 and was in the S10 pickups iirc. Maybe the 3.8L was from a 305?
