I've been passively thinking about putting a "type R" sticker on the back of the 74 cherokee I have - it's one barrel straight six is basically nothing more than a stroked rambler motor. It's really spooky how close the old Rambler "R" is to the R in "type R". Even a fairly close match between the reds. Unfortunately, the humor would be lost on the kids with the rice rockets, who probably don't even know what a rambler is (or that they go beep beep when chasing cadillacs), and will instead ask me if I stuffed a VTEC under the hood of my cherokee. :) I think my poor straight six cherokee has about as much out of the hole as your SD, Robert.
