      aluminum v6 engines

      So I might be starting a new project (no, not with the aveo) similar to an aerial atom. I'm having a tough time finding a v6 with aluminum block and head and as the same bore as stroke (ex: 86mm x 86mm). But the bore can be slightly less then the stroke (ex: 83mm x 86mm) but not the other way around. I just finding potentials but then they end up either being iron block or to much stroke.

      The Atom uses a 2L variant of our engine.

      Try Buick V6 Blocks they made an aluminum block in the V6 and V8. I think they made it for the Regal and the GN Not sure about the car but Buick did make them

      Since the GN is from the 80s and earlier I'd guess them to be iron blocks, maybe aluminum heads. But I will look into the other buicks, thanks

      Is it the stock block or a new casting?
