   That's why I scoff at those guys boring people who want you to stuff yet 
another V8 under the hood.  The old inlines definitely had their strengths, 
no tthe least of which was their legendary reliabilty and ease of service.
   I got to service my Buick 231 to see if I got a blown head gasket or a 
cracked head.  If it were an inline....it would be so easy.
