I dropped the slant six topic because I realized I might have hurt someone's feelings saying he was an engine killer. I was just ribbing. I know nothing about him or how or why those engines blew. What I do know is his experience was the rare exception. I didn't make up the slant 6 reputation for being durable engines. It's a well known fact I remember from back when they were all over the place in old beater Mopars. I know one thing, that Barracuda is bad to the bone. 9 second 1/4 miles with about 1/2 the cubes of a 454
No worries you didn't hurt my feelings, I don't have any. Joking but seriously I've been around long enough not to be offended by others opinions. I know what works for me & that's GM vehicles.
As I was growing up my parents had numerous GM vehicles 3 Chrysler products & one Ford that I can remember. The Ford was alright the GMs just worked & the Chryslers you had to work on. Hell my dad should have known better, his father worked for GM, but I guess being an electrical engineer he didn't understand mechanics. I've seen others have more issues with Chryslers than other vehicles, hence I was never willing to spend my money on a Chrysler, hell if you gave me one I'd turn around and sell it as fast as I could (hopefully before it broke down and I had to stick money in it.
