It's not a bad engine. It is quiet and very smooth and it does get the car from place to place just fine. It's just not fun. Not at all.

I think most of us here are the kind of guys who can enjoy just standing behind our cars and listening to the rumble of the dual exhaust. To watch the car sink a little bit on the right when we stab the gas in neutral. To feel the vibrations of the engine through the whole car. It's more than the numbers that we get out of a nice V-8. Old American cars are just meant to have them!
