v-6 in early A-body

BillGrissom likes the 3.9 V6: I agree with you, Bill. I've had a couple of Chrysler vehicles with the 3.3 litre V6 (smaller version of the 3.8), and found it to be a very good engine. I especially liked it when mated to the electronic overdrive transmission because it would turn only about 1,800 RPM at 70 mph and would get over 30 mpg on the highway. (Might be hard these days to find an old 3.3 or 3.8 in good condition, though.) The later, revised version of the electronic overdrive transmission was pretty bulletproof, IMHO. Most of the issues that you hear about with that drivetrain were due to the fact that so many owners considered these to be "throwaway cars" and did little, if any, maintenance on them.
