I've had ford & chevy inline 6"S & Chrysler slant 6. Ever damn 1 of them we're tanks & when takin care of took care us less problems. Obviously not withstanding the occasional repair/s. Each 1 taking us well beyond a quarter million miles.
I had a Korean guy that had to swap out the Chevy 350 every year because that piece of junk died. What the issue was that when he had the re-manufactured long-block installed, it came with break in oil (non-detergent 30 weight oil) and a no name white filter with a short string of numbers on it, and when I pulled the old dead engine, it had that same filter on it and the oil pump bypass was wedged open and the filter was jam packer with metal shards of internal engine destruction because HE NEVER CHANGED THE OIL OR FILTER AFTER INSTALLING IT AND JUST RAN IT TO DEATH!

I have a Chevy 230 I6 and even in the winter pull the choke pump the gas all the way to the floor 2 times then turn the key it fires up no issue.
They were gutless gas guzzlers but they did last forever. But a 2 wd getting 12mpg vs a 350 chevy 4x4 getting 18mpg, I can't say the Ford was good
Yeah
Good point
