Justin Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 I was messing around on GMs site and came across this, if you zoom in the plenum even clearly states 2500 SFI V6. It's even the US site, not some bizzaro middle east or asian site, although it appears as it's only used in Asia as their middle-sized engine. And the kicker is LB8 is an old code for iron headed 2.8s back in the day. Weird stuff. http://www.gm.com/automotive/gmpowertrain/engines/gmpow/lb8.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveFromColorado Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 going thru the site, I was looking at the difference between the 2.5, the 3.0 the 3.1 and the 3.4 here's what I found for the bore x stroke on the motors... 2500 89.00 x 66.70mm 3000 89.00 x 80.00mm 3100 89.00 x 84.00mm 3400 92.00 x 84.00mm so it looks like they took even more stroke outta the 3100 for both the 3000 and the 2500 engines - personally if I was looking for something really fuel efficent, I'd go for that 2500 myself, it's not lacking too much for power, and it's still a V6. --Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mihela816 Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 looks like it would be a pretty high revving motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
