Back in the eightys, the big Buick 3.8 was the was to go. However due to low oil pressure (the pump is in the timing cover, and when it wears out, the cover must be replaced). Blown head gaskets (there are very long half moon water ports at the end of the heads and few head bolts) Water leaks at the end of the intake mainafold, small 1/4" water pump bolts that rust and break off.
The engine is wide .........
Sorry, but I think the motor is a boat anchor
Have you concidered a 2.7 150 hp Tacoma?
