SO who came up with the GMC V6's???
I've been deep into research on these v6's and wondering....what made GM come up with such a different engine? I mean...the thing makes a SBC look like a briggs and stratton. lol And its slower than a 292 I6 by far, but sure has a ton more lugging power. Mine pulls pretty darn good with the 4 barrel and split exhaust, but my 292 with the same mods pulled 10 times faster which makes me wonder....did GM purposely make these to be luggers? Shifting my 292 at 4000 RPM was no problem, but 3000 on this is scary. haha I'm NOT downing the V6's in Any way....just curious as to the engineering behind it. I mean....loaded down with manure I could pull hills at 55 with my 305 no problem and that was with a plugged up 2 barrel. Just thought it would be an interesting discussion. I love my BB V6 and wouldn't trade it for any SBC, but the thing interests me. lol
