Default Thinking about leaving the v6 world

This sucks....I just blew my 4.2 stroker up. I was going up a hill and it started knocking and my oil pressure went away completely. Now it wont even crank. SoI think im going to sell my m112 setup and get a wrecked gt,mach 1, or cobra and put the motor in my car. Im tired of blowing up v6s....this is the second one in less than a year.

Did you put the 4.2 together yourself?

I'm also waiting to see the V6 fanboys come in and knock anything with 8 cylinders.
