imo, the engine in there is a truck motor, just because of the torque curve. JA sportscars dont have powerbands like the 240 does. What makes it truckish is the oversqare engine [or is it undersquare?].. long stroke, small bore. The block was designed in the mid80s for the bottom-level pickup of the time[cant remember the nameh:]

anyways, there's nothing wrong with that:dunno: as i said before, the drivetrains last a long time and can take a daily beating.
