Most of what he said except for the dime a dozen part. Down here good V6 lowers bring GOOD money. Most likely just needs a new reverse gear and dog though. Check it for water first as it could be a bad torrington thrust against the cone as well making the noise. Otherwise a good solid pretty powerful engine. A bit thirsty, but the reliabilty normally makes up for it.
