RobertISaar Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 I used to have lots of people asking me "what size V8" is in my '93. Several people have tried to imitate my exhaust sound with other V6's, but don't come close. that's because the general gave the 660s a decent cam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavarium454 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 that's because the general gave the 660s a decent cam Except for you know, the pressed on lobes onto a hollow shaft. I've seen perfectly good 3100s bite the dust to those things snapping in half. Not sure if this is true of the 3.1 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octavarium454 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 ok, decent cam profile. the hollow core does suck, you won't hear me refute that. Yeah, but besides that, this thread has me really missing my 92 because of the whole "does that got a V8 in it," reactions I got from people. I really want to find something to put that 3.1 in that I took out of my 92 before she hit the junkyard. God I miss that car. Got to put her heart into something, but everything I buy to flip and sell has a 3100. One day I'll find something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99screaminregal Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 I just recently had to get my intake manifold gasket replaced and when I called the shop, the manager (Who, I know personally. OH and, by the way, he is a GM guy) was like "Are you sure it's got a 3.4L in it?? Never heard of a Cutlass w/ a 3.4L in it." Had to hang up after I said Yes. Also get the same from the old guy at Advance Auto parts when he looks my car up as a, WAIT FOR IT........... Ciera. Me- "No sir, a Cutlass Supreme S model." Him- "Oh, ok. Olds Cutlass Supreme (No S, mind you). There still is no 3.4L listed. Are you sure that's what you got in there?" Me- *drops head on parts counter and then procedes to walk out the door* "YES!!" TRUE FREAKIN STORY!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Flanders Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 I have had comments ranging from how "pretty" my car is to "hey, you need to buy a new car". Well, give me the money and I will! Better than the '89 Regal I had years ago that everyone ran away from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
