Well, this is the one thread where you’ll find lots of love for it.Wondering if I can get peoples feedback about there experience with the 3fe engine on there 80 series.. I am looking into one with 147k miles and I hear so many people telling me to stay away from 91 and 92. So any help would be greatly appreciated
Pros-
low end torque
Doesn’t blow head gasket
Lasts a long time (300-500k if maintained)
Sounds cool
Cheaper than fzj80
Styling- more truck, less soccer mom machine
Cons-
Slow - you’ll find yourself motivated to mess with every little thing that might improve performance (wait is this a con or a pro?)
Doesn’t come triple locked (see cheaper)
