V6 Stang - Help

Mustang225 · 07-22-1999, 09:45 PM

Looking to get an 86 V6 convert auto for my son. Has anyone had any experience with this model and any other thoughts would be appreciated. One last comment....we are NOT looking for speed, just reliability with a stang that still looks good. Thanks.

Well can't say I know much about the reliability of them (haven't heard much). But I do know if you aren't interested in speed then you made the right choice, the 6-232 engine has 120hp@5600 and 205ftlbs @ 1600, of course you could get a 2.3L 4 cyl. with 90hp and 130ftlbs (of course these #'s reflect on new engines).
