Default Re: Iron Dukes??

GM went down this road several times a hair brain scheme to replace the Small Block Cheby with a 4 and V6 cylinders to be the engine of the future!

Pontiac = Iron Duke
Oldsmobile the Quad 4 (one year thier whole SEMA Show Display was based on this engine and they spent in excess $ 7 million on the Aero Tech)
Buick V6 (They spent close to a $100 million over 10 years
Cheby and the Tony Stewart Midget Engine a couple of years ago know just a boat anchor
Cheby and the Eco Tech 4 cylinder in Sport Compacts series at about $3.5 million for over 3 years

It sure has worked hasen't it?
