Bill: You have been insisting that there are not odd-fire Chevy V6 engines
and as proof you point out the 60 degree design, or alternately point out
the old Buick design.
Again, for the record: Chevrolet has designed and manufactured (at least)
two different V6 designs, neither of which own anything to the old Buick
design. One of these is a 60 degree even-fire design and was used in
Cherokees. The second design is a 90 degree design based on the small block
and was produced in odd-fire and even fire variations. Both variations used
an offset crank with different degrees of offset. FWIW, aftermarket parts
are available (crank, cam, distributor)to make this a full non-offset 90/150
degree odd fire engine that is fairly stout, if somewhat rough running.

So tell me again how there are no odd-fire Chevy V6s.
