RE: [DML] Questions Re: B280 .... Im so confused.

["alex morgan" <mauibarber@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, I'm confused.  Is the PRV6 a good engine or not?  And are intake 
manifolds difficult to get?  I searched the archives and could not find very 
many engine complaint stories. I would think an intake manifold would be a 
readily available part or a part that wouldnt be that difficult to tool.  
Can anybody clear this up?
