Don't see much for parts for any V6 anymore.

I'm having fun with mine!

This the polar opposite of cheap. I am partners on a build nearing completion as it was a one off build.

Wait! Doesn't that have the rubber driveshaft and transaxle?

Was looking at Buicks and didn't see anything newer than '99 listed...
Idle curiosity...

No specs on a 2010 dodge Charger with a 3.5L V6. Bet that would be in the "T/SA" area. Start it off at 170 hp.

Not exactly, Marty
It has a steel bar, held in a bowed position, by a series of rubber encased bushings, all inside a bent square tube. The idea was to give it more flat floor space.
It was billed as a 6 passenger car.
In any case , it's way too bizarre for me, and that's saying something. ;-)

Yeah, I should have said flexible driveshaft. I had a 63 Tempest convertible that was going to be senior year of high school wheels - until my brother blew up the transaxle.
