guess I'm closest to E, as the past 20 years I've only driven vintage tin that I 'resurrected' myself, so never find myself motionless at the side of the road - 'cept once when a muffler rotted off, but only had to stop long enuff to cut the hanger and throw the muffler in the back - the 283 sure was loud at 65mph the rest of the way home
I consider an engine that doesn't use a drop of oil suspect tho' cuz 235's and 283's seem to live longest when they're covered w/ oil and mark their territory
