engine build for reliability

keep a spare ecu n the glove box too.. :)

that would be a nice cruiser.

Didnt think of that,never heard about the ECU being a problem,had an ancient orangebox in the car at that time,but wouldnt surprise me if newer replecements are of alitle worse quality than they used to be.

It was absolutly wonderfull,was such a smoothrunning engine,and ran so darn sweet everywhere,regardless if it was out on a open highway,around town or just out there on a small country road,the thing just ran so nice.
Then i got greedy and went for a 340 set on absolute kill, it was fun but far from as versatile as that 318 was..
Ohh and that kind of engine doesnt care what kind of fuel is in the tank either,if its flamable in some way it will burn it without ever detonating its brains out.
