You're right about the "not for the faint of heart". He can call it what he wants, but it's not a G. Kind of like calling Frankenstein a human being.

2WD transmission? $17.5K? Good luck!

"The thing is Bob, its not that I'm lazy...its that I just don't care."

I dont care how many times someone talks up a ford engine, im not buying it. .I'd rather buy a G with a OM617 job over a 302.

Sux. . that G had it goin on at one time. . .

The OM616/617 combined with the VG80 T case and TX-18 tranny manages to last close to 500,000 miles of on and of road use, thats good enough for me, duno bout others.
