I never met a project I didn’t like
I saw something recently….I think it was Hot Rod? They wanted to build a Barra because the Aussies said it could stand up to any engine out there. They couldn’t get their hands on one so instead they built another 4-ish liter, overhead cam, inline 6…..they built the 4.2 that comes in the GMT360 (Trailblazer, Envoy, etc). They built two of them. I’m having trouble remembering now, one was turbo for sure and I think the other was NA? Or maybe one was cheap turbo and the other was more sorted, can’t recall for sure. They only got to run the lower end one and I think they got 400hp and 400tq out of it at the crank. The other one was locked up before they got it on the dyno so they couldn’t run it for that episode. Not sure if they’ve tried running it again or not. Cool story, I know. I with you on the memory thing….Well I guess getting old is well.... Turns out it might have been the Barra engine I was reading about
