A legend to the old man, a hero to the child...
When I pull the engine out of my sons bronco 2 I am entertaining the idea of dismantling it and making it into a coffee table! Little heavy yes, but it’ll be in the man cave so it’ll be on casters.
Use a 3.0 instead....itll be a better use then what they are typically used for.

I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!
No matter how clean you get it, it will still find a way to leak oil and antifreeze. It’s a 2.9L, that’s just what they do.

Sounds like the perfect use for a 2.9! You might even want to put some resin puddles under it that look like oil and antifreeze!

2.9's might leak, crack heads, tick, and be quirky as hell but...

Ill pull 2 plug wires and stick duct tape over half my TB and still smoke a vulcan.

What do you think @PetroleumJunkie412 ?
