Thanks man. I've managed to find several good resources for putting these engines together already, and am really looking forward to the challenge. I don't see myself ever turning against V8 engines, the sound of a well tuned screaming small block or a solid built thumper of a big block alone will likely keep V8's in my other projects. This is an experiment for me, and my truck is going to be more of a daily driver, so it doesn't have to be all about speed and thunder. The I6's are fun to drive and definitely far from common at shows, so it will be just another aspect of my truck to help it stand out in a crowd.
BTW: 1000 posts!
