Further, the block design of the "not quite as" venerable V6 that
powered alot of late sixties/early seventies Buicks was a "sawed off"
version of that V8 also.  That motor gave the shoe-horn boys lots of
options too.  It wasn't as smooth as the 60degree V's from Germany at
the time, but it had lots of go-fast aftermarket parts, and was as
durable as its father the V8.  Audi content?  Just the thought...
