Justin Posted April 24, 2004 Report Posted April 24, 2004 I was messing around on GMs site and came across this, if you zoom in the plenum even clearly states 2500 SFI V6. It's even the US site, not some bizzaro middle east or asian site, although it appears as it's only used in Asia as their middle-sized engine. And the kicker is LB8 is an old code for iron headed 2.8s back in the day. Weird stuff. http://www.gm.com/automotive/gmpowertrain/engines/gmpow/lb8.htm Quote
digitaloutsider Posted April 24, 2004 Report Posted April 24, 2004 What the fuck is THAT?! It looks JUST like a 3400. Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted April 24, 2004 Report Posted April 24, 2004 Wonder how that compared to the 2.8 in my car. :?: HP 145 @ 5600 rpm Torque 155 @ 4400 rpm Old 2.8 130 HP 160 Torque Quote
DaveFromColorado Posted April 24, 2004 Report Posted April 24, 2004 going thru the site, I was looking at the difference between the 2.5, the 3.0 the 3.1 and the 3.4 here's what I found for the bore x stroke on the motors... 2500 89.00 x 66.70mm 3000 89.00 x 80.00mm 3100 89.00 x 84.00mm 3400 92.00 x 84.00mm so it looks like they took even more stroke outta the 3100 for both the 3000 and the 2500 engines - personally if I was looking for something really fuel efficent, I'd go for that 2500 myself, it's not lacking too much for power, and it's still a V6. --Dave Quote
excelsior Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 hmmm.....cant say i like the engine....whats the epa rating on her? Quote
mihela816 Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 looks like it would be a pretty high revving motor. Quote
Guest Gp crazy Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 just buy a crank and and get longer rods and stroke it out and hide it under 3.1 or 2.8 badges also what did gm put this engine in to ???? i would like to put one in my GEO METRO that weighs in at 1642 wow what a little rocket Quote
digitaloutsider Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 It went into the Buick GLX, an asian version of the Regal. Quote
DaveFromColorado Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 I wouldn't mind owning a Buick GLX --Dave Quote
