4th Gen F Body V6
Is a 4th gen f body with the 231 V6 a good combo?

Re: 4th Gen F Body V6
I have also kicked this idea around, since we still have my wife's car from High School, and its in great shape.
The biggest problem I have, is that its a bear to work on, with the engine so far under the cowl. Maybe some racers with this type can shed some light on this. |

just pull the radiator, and sway bar and you can stand in the engine compartment In front of the motor. (If your not too large) After you leave off the unnecessary brackets and accessories it should be fairly easy work on. Didn't even remove the hood, you need some shade when working in there.

Re: 4th Gen F Body V6
I think the 3.8L Series II engine is a good pick . Doesn't Harry Doolittle run one in his Firebird ?

Ronnie Temento from Louisiana has an N/SA Firebird with this combo and he has been in the 11.80's before. The car is for sale on RJ.

Re: 4th Gen F Body V6
I see what Mark is asking about , one is rated at 185 and the other rated at 200 . It maybe that the FWD version is rated different .
