I forgot about Clifford, they make good stuff.

Offenhauser made some good stuff for this motor too.

It was also awful for emissions and it wouldn't have fit the new chassis. Same reason why Mercedes went from inlines to V6s.
And it was kinda underpowered. It's a damn good engine, but I probably wouldn't buy a truck with one, and certainly not more than a 1/2 ton, as it's no fun having a trailer on the back and winding the thing out at WOT trying not to get too far under the speed limit on a hill...
Well yeah it's still a 6 cyl. I like it better than the 302 in trucks though definitely

The 300 definitely felt like it pulled better than the 302. And if memory serves, it had the same valve sizes as the 302. So cylinders 4/3rds larger (I think. Math is hard, let's go shopping!) with the same size valves and stuff equals a lot more intake velocity so it SHOULD be a better pulling engine.

Old school topper, classy wheel covers, dual tanks, 4.9 5-speed w/ 70K. Why is this truck still there?
