Diesel Conversion for Wrangler

Stop explaining and try listening for a change. Chevy ALSO manufactured a 90 degree odd-fire V6 which was based on the template and internal parts of the small block Chevy. In it's original configuration, it used an offset crank which gave a firing angle of 132/108. Certainly better than the old Buick/Dauntless's 90/150, but not an even fire design by any stretch of the imagination.

Bill: You have been insisting that there are not odd-fire Chevy V6 engines and as proof you point out the 60 degree design, or alternately point out the old Buick design. Again, for the record: Chevrolet has designed and manufactured (at least) two different V6 designs, neither of which own anything to the old Buick design. One of these is a 60 degree even-fire design and was used in Cherokees. The second design is a 90 degree design based on the small block and was produced in odd-fire and even fire variations. Both variations used an offset crank with different degrees of offset. FWIW, aftermarket parts are available (crank, cam, distributor)to make this a full non-offset 90/150 degree odd fire engine that is fairly stout, if somewhat rough running.

So tell me again how there are no odd-fire Chevy V6s.
