I have a shot at getting a 71 at an awesome price but it has some (expected) problems.
First problem is it has a blown pinion in the rear end. Is there a standard rear end in the 71?
Second problem, the engine is covered in dirt and oil (could be from sitting for a few years). It has the in-line 300 6c with a 4 speed manual.
My questions are...
I have heard that the in-line 6 is indestructible is this true and if a rebuild is needed would it be worth it to rebuild it?
Is it hard to replace the ring & pinion in the rear end? (I don't know what rear end it has yet)?
What kind of gas mileage should I expect with this setup?
Thanks
