I was looking at a Subaru today and could not find one spark plug or wires.  It seems very crawded in there.  How would I work on it if I put one into mine?!  Yes, I know it is a nice engine and more powerful and so on.  But.  Being in the US, would it not make better sense to put a V6 or a V8 of American origin in there?  I am sure this subject has been hammered from day one, but I don't remember reading about it on the list.  I have seen aluminum V6 out of a boat that looked beautiful and compact.  The 350 Chevy engine is famous.  Heavy, I know.  But it is simple and powerful.  Easy to work on, cheap parts, etc.
What is the general opinion of the members?
