Your hate for 1FZ and love for the 3FE is clear and not relevant; your experience is though. Looking at this rig objectively, it isn't worth 4.5k 3FE or 1FZ. There's too many red flags surrounding this thing and I believe the OP already decided to run the other way. Which is the right move....especially because it's a 3FENot really, someone will buy for 4.5K, cause i rather spend 4.5K on a rig than 4.5K on replacing a HG if its a 93+
Yep, i hate 3FE haters on MUD and now i am just having a blast on here especially now it is MY turn to contribute. Dont worry, its all fun and game =-)Your hate for 1FZ and love for the 3FE is clear and not relevant; your experience is though. Looking at this rig objectively, it isn't worth 4.5k 3FE or 1FZ.

I hate you because I didn't get to drive the FD RX-7 you had back in the day...Yep, i hate 3FE haters on MUD and now i am just having a blast on here especially now it is MY turn to contribute. Dont worry, its all fun and game =-)
BTW...your not a 3FE hater are you???
Edit: I know most 3FE haters on here, and they dont sit well in my stomach and vice versa =)
F-you Brian...lol. Yeah how do you feel going from a 2800 lb 500 hp car to a 6000lb 100awhp rig??? lolI hate you because I didn't get to drive the FD RX-7 you had back in the day...
3FE haters on here are like head gaskets problems, they will never go away...lol
Karma is a bit*h...
$500? how much would you pay for if its a 1FZ? lol. $1000?
91-92 wont have the Head Gasket problems most 93+ plagued with due to lack of cooling maintenance. The 3-FE is a old school tractor push rod engine and with proper maintenance, it should last 400k upward miles without having a rebuild. But there are some OE parts that has been discontinued, but sourcing used parts are not impossible. I think it will be a great platform for your son given not much electronics to tamper with and things are easily accessible, easy to wrench on and learn. It will be a great reliable rig for him once the baselining is brought up to speed. i paid $6k on mine 4 yrs ago with 1 owner and Ca/Az rig with zero rust, 200k miles and have since easily put in upwards of 15k on top of that. But at the end of the day, it is well worth it.

Oh boy, rev up the butthurt, Marco is here! I really don't understand. The consensus here for the most part is that while the 3FE/earlier trucks as a whole have some drawbacks, the 3FE is overall a great and reliable motor. Yet you seem to take this sentiment so personally you try to turn half the threads on here into 3FE vs. 1FZ battles. Your truck is definitely cool, and I am glad you are so happy with it but this battle you so desperately want to wage out is getting pretty tiresome.Yep, i hate 3FE haters on MUD and now i am just having a blast on here especially now it is MY turn to contribute.

True admittedly. This just seems like chat-posting. Having to scroll through nine "3FE vs. 1FZ EPIC BATTLE PLEASE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE" posts in threads that are barely tangentially related can get quite annoying.He does it to push buttons.
Looks like he got yours........
Sorry, this deal and this thread is dead from an OP perspective. Thanks for the advice, and I learned a lot to help me in the future.True admittedly. This just seems like chat-posting.

I'm surprised the over 6' thing is an issue.Fwiw, I did walk away, but not because of the engine. I actually liked the way it drove. Sure, a was a bit more tractor like, but it was good, and I found it pleasant enough to drive.
We have a different issue that I was anticipating (I'm only 5'-10") - my son is over 6' and he didn't have enough leg room, so it wasn't going to work out. Combined with other factors, it just wasn't the right "fit" (haha).
If it was half the price, I would have bought it for a trail rig. I got the sense that the owner wasn't very negotiable.
By the way, it was a small local shop, the owner bought it a couple of years ago as a project, but hasn't gotten around to it with other things taking priority. It wasn't parked because it is a hunk of junk.
Thank you to everyone for the help and guidance.
That's a hard pass for me. No way would I pay anything close to that for a rusty 3FE truck.$4500
now you know how annoying to be hearing the 3-FE hate....welcome!True admittedly. This just seems like chat-posting. Having to scroll through nine "3FE vs. 1FZ EPIC BATTLE PLEASE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE" posts in threads that are barely tangentially related can get quite annoying.
As I said, it's unfortunate you take the sentiment you describe as "hate" so personally but turning half the unrelated threads you post in into "battle of the engines!!" "hedgasketz XD!!" like some 12-year old youtuber is not the answer.now you know how annoying to be hearing the 3-FE hate....welcome!
