All I know about it is that it was for a certain NASCAR series. It does not share a design with the 3.8 (heads will not bolt on). The only mention I ever saw about it was in an early 90's Motorsports catalogue

well, that pretty much covers what i know. unless you count the fact that i have seen reports of 500+ n/a hp from them....

i have read *very* little about them in a few places, and seen some pics. i think one day i would like to put one together for a project of my own.

Soudns like it would be interesting to stick one in our cars and go racing. " It's got a 6 in it, I swear!"

What was that series that they only raced V6's in...ASA or something? I can't remember. I used to have a model of a Camaro that was run in that class.
