As Jim said, the inline six design is easier to service than the vees, and it's simply the best overall design out there. I wasn't impressed with Dodge's build quality or body integrity, but that engine was a real gem. I agree that a Ford body with a Cummins engine would be the best combination to live with on a day-to-day basis.
