dont know about the 100 rpm but i guess its possible...with my 300 in my f150 i could go down to about 400 rpm and still keep chuggin and that was a gas engine.....the 1.3 forget it....it drops below 1000 rpms and you can pretty much hit the brakes...hmm...maybe i should put a 300 in the zuki.....well..maybe not since the engine is half the size of the vehicle lol...

bone stock 87 tin top....for now....

a 300 is a really big inline 6...the biggest production 6cyl gas engine ever put in a comercial automobile

yep 300 cubes it is...and they can be bored safely as much as .060 over....they got really thick water jackets and cylinder walls. and at 250hp (with some internal work and head porting) you can have at least 375ftlbs of torque...that seems to be the norm....check out clifford performance...its amazing....with an EFI setup ive seen as much as 300hp pulled out of one of these motors and they are actually pretty snappy for being a huge inline 6...and they are durable.....people are doing all these mods and still getting like 15 mpg so they are streetable...

the 300 is a good motor, even has a gear drive instead of a chain. Clifford makes some nice stuff.
