there was a small pic and paragraph in HOT ROD about a couple who r building a 6 cylinder i think it was a chevy but i dont really remember. i have no intrest in 6 cylinders but i can see why people might consider building them. hey more power to them they still get to enjoy the hot rod scene and they can actually afford to drive their cars lolHonda Motor= 1.6L
Soda Bottle= 2L

the reason i like the 4.3 so much is that they use 350 parts most of the time.such as pistons berings and other parts.granted cams are a little more expensive but comp cams will grind anything ya need or want for the same price as one off the self.i have mine in a 79 MGB,and boy does it run,hell i can even put a 454 tbi on it if i have the manifold bored out.im also running a 4L60 tranny!neddless to say its kinda quick.

There are a few die hards who love the inline versions, here's their site;

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Another question, I was told this engine takes 6 quarts of oil. Is that correct? It's a remanufactured 350 with stock pan.
