"Lightweight pistons with floating pins and low-tension rings in combination with shorter cast-steel connecting rods reduce reciprocating mass and internal friction."

well, i kept searching and found this:
As market conditions have required higher horsepower's Chevy has responded by increasing displacement and in 1996 Chevy started producing the 3.8L (231 cid) engine being used previously by Buick, Pontiac and Oldsmobile. Production V6/90 deg. engines use lightweight cast iron blocks, two bolt main bearing caps, nodular cast iron crankshafts and forged connecting rods.
So which is it?
