I once saw a '59 Ford pickup that had a Vega four under the hood. The owner claimed it ran well and was pleasant to drive.

I prefer to overpower my trucks so I'm the wrong one to ask about this. The truck I drive most has a 454.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
