    New to the site, but not to the engines!

    Hello all! I heard about your site through a-body.net and decided to join. The 60 degree is my favorite line of motors even produced through GM. We have had our fair share throughout the family through the years. Currently I am driving my dad's 2006 Chevy Uplander with the 3.9, (my Taurus is in dissarray in my driveway right now ,) my dad has a 2004 Impala with the 3.4, mom has a 99 Alero with the 3.4, my previous cars were a 99 Grand Am GT with the 3.4, and a 94 Cutlass Cruiser S with the 3.1 (plan to get another soon for a 3800 S/C sleeper project.) We used to have an 88 Ciera, too, but that one had a 3.8. In my driveway we have my 03 Taurus SEL/GT daily driver project with the 3.0 DOHC and my fiance's 05 Cobalt with the 2.2 that is in desparate need of some BOOST. I hope to become a good part of the community here, and learn things along the way to help me in my ventures.

    And a big thank you goes out to Ben for helping me get set up on here.

      Thanks, Brad! It was nice to find such a following for these motors.

        I forgot my parents also used to have an 02 Intrigue with the 3.5 Add it to the list haha. And I'm not 100% sure the van has a 3.9. I guess it's either that or a 3.5. Don't know those motors well enough just by looking at em.

          Actually, the 3.5 in the Intrique isn't in the 60V6 family.

            Ah, I didn't realize there was 2 different ones. I know next to nothing about alot of the newer GM motors.

              The 3.5 LX5 was a dual over head cam 90* engine similar to the Northstar Engine, but two cylinders shorter
