I have seen, and driven the 4. Ummmm, scary. That's all I have to say. I
drove it just to see, because it cost alot less than the V8 when I was
looking at possibly getting a new one when I bought my 95. I've driven 2
door Specs that had more power and pick up than that truck did. Even when
you redlined the engine. Not a happy person the 4 banger makes. But if you
wanted the body, to drop in a Mopar Racing engine, it's a good way to go. :)
