    Starfire 4

    Good source of strong rods for a 202 build

    Otherwise a total piece of shit

    They were designed to be a fuel efficient motor but they use more fuel than a 202 in the real world.

    Or the 253, it's not like it was that much better on fuel, didn't have as much power and took a lot of cash to make it go as good as a standard 308!

    Built in the 80s but you said "not a high performance engine as it never was meant to be...but was reliable and got my parents around without any dramas in the 80s"

    I was asking if it made it to the 90s like did it last?
