Is there a GM V-6 that is all aluminum? Me and LottaBalls are wanting to put an all aluminum V-6 into a 88 Fiero, but I wasn't sure what car to take it out of. I think the Taurus SHO has one, but there is no way I'm putting a Ford engine in any car of mine. Does anyone know which, if any, GM cars came with all aluminum v-6's? PS-if it were my choice, we'd be putting my L98 in the Fiero when we take it out of our IROC to install the 383 that we're going to build :) |
if it has a 2.8L v6 now, the OHV 3.4L v6 would be your best bet. I hate those engines though. I had a 2.8L. maybe stick the DOHC 3.4L from the 90's Monte Carlo in there. It should bolt up right where the 2.8L is if its not too wide. |
Buick made a 215 CID aluminum V8 |
Buick made an aluminum v6 for indy racing. Its called a stage 2 engine. |
Olds made all Al 6s in a good number of FWD cars. |

You are correct, sir. Now for the bonus question, how many liters is it ? |
3.5L |
the GMPP catalog lists an aluminum block, bosses for both rwd & fwd. lists for only about $3K. how much do you really want that block? edit: it's the 2.8 block |

Nuts to all this V6 hooey. Go all out and grab that caddy engine/tranny and shoe horn that baby in. Now that'll set your world on fire. Those Northstar combos are everywhere too. |
The Northstar would be badass, but PITA to get to work with all the electronics that thing has. |
Actually, me and LottaBalls' Fiero project car is getting pushed a little into the future now (like at least another 1 1/2 years) so that we can spend that money on building a totally sweet 475hp, 500 ft/lb tq 383 for our IROC. Since we're estimating the cost of the engine to be about $7000, that pretty much cuts out every other thing we had wanted to do in the near future. I just hope there is enough money left over for us to go on our honeymoon when we get married in March!:) |
