It runs great. Idles smooth plenty of power, But it has a noise that I believe is coming from the bottom end. I'm thinking a bearing gave way down there due to the over heat. Win some loose some I guess. I'm thinking I'll look for a good used 3.5 or 3.8 and swap the new heads over then swap it in. Daughter drives it to work and it does fine though I'm not comfortable towing my boat with it the way it is. Picked up a Gen 3 the other day so that will be handling the towing duties.
