Power band of the 231 V6?

[Geesie]

Anyone have the numbers for torque and horsepower through engine speed for the 3.8 V6s?

110hp, (forget RPM) and 190 Ft/lbs for torque at 1800 RPM. That is for a 1985 Buick 231 V6. I don't know the figures for a Chevy 229 V6, but I imagine they are similar.

I believe torque at idle and peak RPM are the equivilant of a gerbil in an excersize wheel.

That's just plain mean.... Gerbils aren't THAT weak! :lol:

Hmm.... I must have gotten a good 3.8 in my Buick. It's "listed" as 245 HP & 355 LB FT of torque. :?

we weren't talking intercooled Grand Nationals, just the craptacular dual-jet carb'd ones.

I also used to have a Buick 3.8 V6 rated at 240hp/280lb-ft...
In a 1997 Riviera.
