I briefly had an Eagle that I bought to fix up, but ended up reselling it. It didn't run too bad, but it was a 5 speed.

Those old straight sixes didn't have a lot of HP, but they had great low to midrange torque.

I had an '83 Dodge 1/2 ton pickup with the 225 slant 6 and automatic. It ran better than I thought it would, and I even towed a couple vehicles with it. It struggled towing through the steep mountains, but it just wouldn't give up.
