I don't think that's a fair judgement. You can do as much to a 60* as you can a 90*. It just takes the right person. ;)Originally posted by Mighty Thor:
Well 60* does give an even firing sequence instead of the odd one from 90* but I don't think it's better. Performance wise it isn't but for fuel economy it is.Comment

Why does it have to be a bored out 3.8? Displacement doesn't mean a freakin thing when you are talking engine design.Originally posted by T-Punk:

The 3.8 was supposed to be killed years ago, but it's still here. The vette was supposed to have 4 valves per cylinder, but the ZR-1 is long gone. Who knows, it ain't dead yet.69 Camaro 350 4spd, Full Hotchkis susp, Baer brakes, moser 12 bolt, Flowmaster<br /><br />96 RS Hotchkis STB, subframe connectors, Hotchkis LCA and adj Panhard rod, SS camaro sway bars, Bilstein shocks, powerslot rotors, Borla exhaust, rksport headers, k@nFIPKComment

The 3.9L is a 60*. Same family (HV or High Value) as the new 3.5L is.Originally posted by T-Punk:

There's talk of the possibility of the HF (High Feature) family being able to be increased to a max of 3.8L so it's possible we'll see the return of the displacement, however the HF family is 60* DOHC so it won't share anything in common with the current 3.8L.

the nice thing about GM's OHC engines is the fact that they keep alot of low end power. GM said 90% of the torque will be from 1800 to 5600 rpm on the LZ8 engine... which is fantastic.
Unlike many imports which seem to lack low end power.Comment
