How good were the carbed 2.3 engines?

I used to have a mercury bobcat with a 2.3, but it was an auto. It was a fun little winter beater. Only problem I found with it was, I had to change the valve cover gasket about once a yr because it always developed a leak. Other then that it was a problem free car for the 4 yrs I had it. It was no speed demon though, I took it to the drags on street night and it ran consistent 21 sec passes.
