[V8] 4.2A6 Pros and Cons

 Hey Ron ... can't remember if I chimed in the last time you asked for
"info" but if I didn't here a couple (actually 3) you can add to your
list:

'90 V8 auto (black with gray Connolly leather ... 150K and waiting for
timing belt)
'91 V8 5-speed (pearl white with gray sports seats ... 120K)
'94 V8 auto (pearl white with gray "standard" seats ... 140K and daily
driver)

Bought the '94 two years ago for a transplant of its 4.2 into the '91
5-speed ... but haven't been able to get myself to go through with it as
that would mean the death knell for the '94 chassis (and I am having a
real hard time doing that to a somewhat rare car ... so far I only know
of Ed as being the owner of another '94 V8).

Cheers,

Paul
Cincinnati, Ohio
