Of Course.
My current one 250 with cam, 4bbl carb/manifold, cast iron manifolds with duals thru Cherry bombs. I am also a fan of the Jeep 4.0 6, as well as the Ferd 300 6. Both are very good and stout engines. My 280Z also had a very good one. |
Re: Inline 6 tribute
I think what kills the format for many companies, is the engine is too long to turn sideways for a front wheel drive car.
In Australia they had a Hemi Six Charger coupe: Hemi 6 300 hp with triple Webers. |

I've never owned but always loved the Chevy big six 292. I've got a friend in CO with a 66 K/20 with the 292. I actually wouldn't mind grafting one into my 76 GMC in place of the 350. I did have a 230 straight six (65 c/10) for a while, and also the old 235 in my big old 58 boom truck. My daughter had a 300 F*** for a while and it might have been a good engine but I wasn't impressed with the pickup. Now she has an F-350 V-10 :rolleyes: |

Inline 6's produce great instant part throttle torque. Largely due to long stroke, and camshaft combo. Due to modern taste in engines. Most people now want a engine that revs to make power even if they do not use it that way. American inline 6 guns were not set up that way. Plus balance shafts in the V6 made the smoothness of the inline engine with out the packaging considerations. |

Huge fan of the Vortec 4.2 that was in the Trailblazer and Envoy, the Atlas engine program was in my opinion one of GMs best.
I've owned several of them in envoys and trailblazers and they were always reliable and given the right maintenance they last forever. |

Re: Inline 6 tribute
Ive never been a six fan, but for awhile my dad had a little Dodge Dart with a slant six and we beat the crap outta that thing when we were kids and it never skipped a beat.

I have read that the dealer Paxton blower option on the Blue Flame powered C1 Corvettes really improved acceleration, but haven't seen any magazine times. Dealers liked to add Judson and Paxton blowers on anything in those days, even Renault Dauphines! On the Corvette I think it would have fixed the performance problem with the automatic only coupe, but sales probably stayed low because it wasn't a factory option and the public just didn't know about the blower. |

Studebaker bought out McCulloch in the 50s to produce the golden hawk and Packard hawks with supercharged engines. In 63 the Avanti was the fastest production car in the world . Ya it's all about Chevy https://youtu.be/YG8pdR6VAXw |

Re: Inline 6 tribute
So the answer is No.
Studebaker successor: Studebaker-Worthington (1967) That company was in turn acquired by McGraw-Edison in 1979 Which Ceased operations in 1985. Just trying to understand the statement: Quote:
