I did own a Corvair. It was a better car engine than an airplane engine.

I owned a Ford V-6 in 1997 - 1998 for 26,000 mi.

By your logic, that qualifies me to say the same about
the Ford V-6 to Bruce, Corky, Clare, et all.??????

BTW.....
In my full size truck, it was a POS by any measure.
A 3.8 as it comes from the factory? POS is being charitable.
Apparently they CAN be made into a decent engine. Ford has actually
come out with replacement bearings that do not disintegrate at the
smell of Glycol. (Fed Mogul, perhaps?) and some aftermarket gasket
kits will actually keep oil and antifreeze where they belong, and
prevent mixing of "bodily fluids".
