Pretty sure that none of the Vega body styles ever got a V8 - that was Monza only. If there were V6 cars, I never saw or heard of one. And though there were a couple of rooflines I don't think there was a Monza wagon.

Back then I was service manager at a shop and knew of what was going on with the aluminum 4 cylinders. My parents asked me to recommend for a small car for my mom. I specifically moved them up to the Monza V8 (which they didn't need or care about) simply because I wouldn't have to deal with the aluminum engine.

I couldn't wait to drive it. But like every smog motor of that time it was a shamefull dog.
