Chrysler has always made great engines.
The S tranny and the engine are equal in
quality in my mind. Fantastic.

Yeah, the Wards article has been posted before (that link is from January afterall), but it's still worth revisiting.

>>Chrysler has always made great engines.
Darn thing was nigh invulnerable, so long as you changed the oil and belts as scheduled.

Power trains were never an issue at Chrysler until the '80s, but then name me an american company that didn't have problems in the '80s.

FYI, I've had a link to a PDF of that article on my site for many months. The article was written back in Jan. There was a thread about it but looks like the site search only goes back 3 months. Thanks for re-posting for those who haven't seen the article.

For anyone who hasn't seen the post about the S engine being listed as one of the International Engines of the Year, READ THIS article.
