I would say so.

Nor is that common here these days.  I'm told that the moder V6 is
comparable in power to what a V8 was in the sixties and seventies.  That
may very well be the case.  I am having slight occasional troubles with my
car,  but with 164,000 miles on it (it's a 1990 model) it's to be expected
that some things will go wrong with it now and then.  My truck,  by
comparison,  is a 1978,  has a motor in it that came out of a 1975 car, 
and runs fine,  if a bit less efficiently than the motor in the car.

If I get the funds together,  and the opportunity to snag stuff out of a
later-model wreck,  I'll take the engine,  transmission,  and electronics
out of something newer and fuel-injected,  and put that in the truck.  It'd
be a big job,  but well worth it,  I think,  just for the increased fuel
economy and longevity I'd get out of the setup.
