2.7

this is a matter of opinions and how you will be driving the car. i have seen these motors go 50 to 70 k and pull head studs. a friend of mine has a 76s with a 180k and has recently pulled its head studs. i have on two different cars removed the 2.7 due to head studs and bought a second hand 3.0 and away it goes and not worried about the 2.7 woes. i think depending on who did the work type of studs and inserts depends on what you might end up with for dependability. with the updates you speak of i would buy the car if the inspection comes up good and enjoy it. if you like these mid year narrow cars.
