I'm looking for opinions so lets hear them.
My f motor in my 72 cruiser is knocking slightly sounds like the lower end but I haven't put any time into figuring it out yet.
My feeling is that I don't really like this motor much it's got almost 300k on it and although it is running fine now I'm not sure how much longer it will last. I really don't want to put anymore money into this motor.
I like the idea of a 4.3 Chevy tbi swap out of something from the late 80's early 90's. With the sm420 I already have in there it sounds like I just need a couple mounts an exhaust and go.
In the end the 4.3 wont have gobs of power but they are cheep have decent power and parts are really cheep unlike the toyota motors.
What sounds like a better move fix the f or put an tbi motor in.
