Hi,
Ooh this is a good one! The worst engine GM ever made? How about their
diesel conversion of the 300 cu in ++ gasoline V8. A friend of mine boug=
ht
one, had it for 6 months and it was in the shop for 5 of those. I think
they ended up replacing it with a gasoline engine.
Or, can we forget the Chevy Vega 4 banger. Now there was oil consumption=
! =
One of my favorite moments in the movie Contact: as the camera pans the
assemblage, the Chevy Vega contingent is there celebrating the signals
received from VEGA. Ultimate wierdness. =
Regards,
Michael.
