BTW mr GM,( Slowmarrow), its a 60 degreev6. owned?
couple things wrong with this guy first no gm came wit forged rods from the factory,astro vans are a 4.3 liter v6 not a 3.1 lt diff crank and obviously diff numbers,all g/m oil pump,s besides lsx motors are cast iron not alum :crackup …now think about things g/ doesent even put forged rods in the vette or f/body,s why would they do it to a half assed forced inducted 3.1 :ponder but think what ya want your intake should also say turbo on it if it was a beefier 3.1 like ya say and it doesent so :stfu and melt the boat anchor down because no one prolly drives a car that the motor would power anyways its a dinosaur …but ya wont keep thinkin ya got a rare gem on your hands and keep it in fact ill buy it so i can claim to have a rare motor :
Well pretty much gm 3.1s are far from rare! and no 1 claimed it was a beefier 3.1! And if your not interested then take a hike! Im not looking for info regarding the motor. I know all I need to about them. and I still see plenty of beretta’s corsi grandprix so I dont know what world you live in… a response isnt necessary from you in this thread… Cuz If ya aint buyin I aint interested…
