Actually the buick 3.8L even-fire is available all the way up to 87 in the Grand National. It's a very nice engine and contrary to popular belief, they are very smooth reving, it's the 70's odd-fire setup that had vibration issues.
If built properly figure on 200hp, perfect fit in the 914 engine bay, and plenty of room for an a/c compressor. I'll have one for sale in the next couple weeks. If someone wants all out insane power, I'd still go with the 350, but for being fast and fun to drive without so much power that the trans and CV's are pressed to their limit, the V6 is hard to beat. I've heard some people say that a V8 is easier on the trans because there are more torque pulses in an 8cy than a 6cy or a 4 for that matter, but I'm not buying it. I think most failures are due to raw torque and the forces at hand overcoming the physical limitations of the parts in question. |
