the ecotec revision of the buick 3.8 did not make it a new motor lol it was just an evolution, like the LS1.
Thanks atmo for shutting him up lol the buick 3.8 and the ecotec are the same motor in sum aspects, altho there not exactly alike they have similarities and the ecotec was pretty much based on the buick motor just an upgrade so if ur gonna accuse some one ove being stupid or being a dumb
sh it make sure u get ur ****ing facts straight wanker
and yeah atmo u r right the vs's do weigh more than the vl's

22-01-06, 18:09 GMT+10#60 I've read plenty of negative stuff.....
So here,
thumbs up for being different,
its not very often that u see something different these days.
although it would have been nice to see a rb25 or even better a 26 or even a twin cammed 30,
looks good so far are you doing the work yourself??
anyways, G/L hope you get what you want out of it.
