Very good choice. 500 miles 12.40's and have yet to have a problem. Gas millage around 15-17 with 4.56's out back. Thats better than our durangos. Cost 3500 if you can pick it up from a dealership or summit. If not your looking about 3800 total with shiping. Summit has them in stock. Just checked on them the other day. Mopar hasnt had any problems with the small blocks. All of their problems are with the hemis. Let me know if you want or need any more info.

A few fellas here had problems with them. A good check is in order when you get it. Out of the dozen or so Ive seen around here, only one had a head gasket problem. You can see where I went. Look down.
