Chevrolet Straight-6 Engine

Chevrolet Straight-6 Engine

The Chevrolet inline 6 was Chevy's main engine from 1929 (when it replaced their first 4-cylinder engine, the 171-cubic-inch four), through 1954, and was the base engine starting in 1955 when they added the small block V8 to the lineup. It had finally been completely phased out by 1990 in North America, but Brazil held on to their fuel-injected straight-6 through the 1998 model year. It was replaced by more recently developed V6 and four-cylinder engines. Many popular cars and trucks, including the Chevrolet Camaro, Chevrolet Impala, and Chevrolet Suburban just to name a few, used the inline 6 as the base engine. Chevrolet did not offer another inline 6 until the 2002 GM Atlas engine's debut in the Chevrolet TrailBlazer.

Famous quotes containing the word engine:

    The will is never free—it is always attached to an object, a purpose. It is simply the engine in the car—it can’t steer.
    Joyce Cary (1888–1957)
