GM 3.1 V6 Reliability and Performance

Yes @meanjoe75 fan that would have been the 3.3 V6 in that model year Olds. I try not to overthink an engine or where it was derived from. Many years ago I had my doubts about the god-awful ugly “slant 6” in my 1965 Dodge Dart that I drove back and forth to diesel school. That little inline 6 gave me a lesson in humility because it turned out to be bullet proof. When I joined the Air Force a couple of years later…one of my first jobs was pulling missiles in and out of the maintenance hangar with a “tug.” The tug was powered by a slant 6.
