The stock v6 ford rangers now come with a 210 hp v6. The Toyota come with a 195hp v6. The chevy 4.3Lv6 is also a great motor I do not know what the power is. But I do know that these motors work great. Now for class 7 open. Why not a small block V8 motor with a claim rule of $5000 long block. This can get crazy but these are just a few ideas on how to make it less money and more fun. I do not see the point of a $20K v6 that needs a 6-8k rebuild every 1000 mi. The 4.5L v6 that most Rangers run in 7 open never came in a truck so why cant we run a v8?? I do not have the answer to the problem but at the rate we are going people will lose interest really fast in this sport. It is to expensive to maintain these trucks or buggys for what we get in return.</blockquote>
