    That, and they had another thing going for them. RPM, you can do a lot with an engine that will turn 2500rpm or better.

    You could play with a 6NZ a little easier than the later prefix engines, but that’s about it. They aren’t magical. I’ve got a BXS in my truck that shames the 2 6NZ’s that are local to me.
