Total transmission failure at 96000 miles.
The 232 engine is an awesome compromise between fuel economy and performance.
The 232 engine WILL go when you want it to.
I have beatten several Ford 5.0s with my 232 Rebel 3 speed.
The stock T-96-J transmission is bound to fail, but even "as is" wil function reliably and strongly for years if not abused.
Abuse the engine. The 232 can take it. Do NOT abuse the T-96-J transmission; it is feable.
This joker is dreaming if he thinks his 232 can beat anything, let alone a V8.
I once owned a '69 Rebel with the larger 258 6-cyl and I can assert that it could barely get out of it's own way. I would not want to think about how slow it would have been with the 232!
Ridiculous review!
The 1969 Rebel wasn't offered with a 258...
