Chevrolet really never built a fully even fire V6 out of their 90 degree block, it was a compromise, they didn't offset the rod journal on the crank as much as Buick did figuring it wouldn't weaken the crank as much but even the 4.3 Vortec still had some shake to it in the lower rpm range while the Buicks were as smooth as silk!!  |
Thanks for correcting my info. The info I had was base on what I remember from reading one of those car magazine back in the 80-90, maybe my memory cell lost some of the info.
