The 5.9L V-6 is 6 holes from a 318. I put 200Kmi very hard miles on my '92 P/U in commercial use and pulling a 25' trailer. Major short coming was very poor mileage. A chevy 350/2barrel would do better. -- Peter T. Arnold P.M. x3 All Mail to: Secretary Hartford Evergreen Lodge #88 A.F.

It's a 3.9, had one in a '92 Dakota. It wasn't the screamin' beast that the 4.3L Chevy engine was in our '88 S10, but it did very well. Of course, it was pulling a heavier truck too. Kevin in Hillsboro, Oregon ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and
