A V-8 might be nicer but its still a nice one. I have a beat up daily driver Dodge Dakota with a V-6 that runs pretty good but still like the V-8. Gas mileage in the V-6 is only 13.5 town & 17 highway.

He's got a nice garage - that Hudson along with the F-100 in the background...!

I agree, a V-8 has more appeal, but if you're gonna do a V-6, it would be hard to make a better choice than the GM 3.8L- maybe the best V-6 ever made. I had two '88 Buick Park Avenues with that engine- ran forever, good power and acceleration, got 24+ MPG consistently, combined driving.
