Re: V-6 engine specs and General Inquires 200 76

posted by  someone claiming to be Pete Fluitman on  Mon May 21 09:41 CST 2001 [RELATED]

On the PRV V6 if it overheats not only can it warp the heads but the block too. It is not unknown for the block to corrode. If it has been run without 50% antifreeze assume the engine is scrap.

The seal between the liner and the block corrodes and dumps water in the oil.

The engine out of your 242 'll go straight in, also need sway bar, ignition, rev counter, gearbox, clutch mechanism, propshaft.. you get the idea. Not hard just time consuming. I actually quite like the V6, but it needs religeous levels of maintenance, is unbelievably thirsty, and early versions like you are looking at have an unhealthy appetite for camshafts and rockers.

Regards
