Lots of the 6-banger lovers on here. And, the 300 has my favorite bore and stroke, so is 3/4 of my favorite engine.
The 300 six is also 3/4 of another very good engine: the 400 six! If it didn’t require so much modification to make one fit, I would put one in my crew cab... for those of you still scratching your head, I’m referring to the 6.6L Ford/New Holland diesel found in ‘85-‘94 F600-F900 trucks.
