: I'm afraid I have to disagree with you on the I6's being crappy designs. I bought my Maverick new in 72 & ran the living crap out of the 200 for more than 15 yrs & over 180,000 miles. Including many years at the dragstrip on the weekends. It never broke down ever!!! I never did anything to the motor, other than tune ups & oil changes. It was still running great when I pulled it in favor of a 302. My best time was 15.08 & got over 19 mpg when I kept my foot out of it. I also pulled many trailers loaded with furniture & motorcycles half way across the country & back.
