In the early 21st century there is no doubt that the 3800 Series is an old design with its cast iron construction, and pushrods operating two valves per cylinder. In today'* high-tech world GM'* venerable V-6 will ultimately be replaced. And when it is, it will leave behind a remarkable history.
cant argue with that

I added the article to my favorites. Now, all I need to do is change my desktop to the pic of the L67. The pioneer of V6 blower power
