A straight V6 huh?

He probably means it's not

(Actually, my honest answer would be that he probably means it's not a basket case - 'straight' as in 'clean'.)
 
Weird, some peepz are simple. Straight V6.

Its a good looking XJ, wouldnt mind having it for a second myself, but my gripes are typical, about the post...

1) A wash and a 30 min wax job would make it look GREAT
2) No attention to detail. At the least straighten out the front plate holder. Geez.
 
Well, how do you think the old Scout slant 4 was made? Or the original SAAB99? They just sawed off a V8 and put half in. The Scout was half a 304-392 schoolbus engine. The SAAB was half a Triumph Stag. So this is just an evolution of the idea. You saw a V6 in half and instead of throwing away the remainder, you weld the two ends together..TA-DAAA! A slant 6.
 
The font of the "V" is Arial for instance, instead of something along the lines of an Old English "V".
 
My favorite part about it is the charcoal colored rims on the passenger side and white rims on the driver's side. I'm going to seriously think about doing that to my Jeep...
 
There are a lot of people in this world that really have no mechanical concept or knowledge. This guy probably has no idea the "V" indicates how the cylinders are aligned, but has heard the term V6 used. To him, all 6 cylinders are V6's maybe. He probably does not even care if their is a difference.

How many on this board know what the "C" stands for in D35C? To many, a D35 is a D35 until they are told differently.

Cussed 'em?

That antennae is straight dope...yo. Dig it.

Sounds like the guy needs a battery not an alternater. If it runs and drives the alternater is usually ok.

is just like 4 bangers... seems like every one of my friends driving saturns or quiervaliers refers to their engine as a V-4

everyone always asks if i have the V-4 or V-6... neither, its an INLINE 6, and there is NO V-4!!!

i really wish people would get an idea of what theyre talking about before they start asking dumb ass questions

Straight v-6 motors exist. Volkswagen has the VR-6 which I believe is a German abbreviation for inline-v-6. .

VR6 is an engine configuration developed by the Volkswagen Group. It is similar to the V engine, but with the cylinders offset from each other and tilted by 15° instead of the usual 60°. The name, VR6 comes from a combination of Vee and the German word Reihenmotor. The combination of the two can be roughly translated as "in-line Vee."

From Wikipedia, so you know its true

V-4... They do exist though. You find them on some marine applications and Saab used them on older models. Then theres flat 4s.

I like uncommon engine designs. Isin't Chevy using a straight 5 in trucks now and the first of the big 3 to do it?

The Dana 35 has a 7 9/16" ring and pinion and uses one piece axles (2.625" in diameter). Starting in 1990 they switched to an inferior C-clip Dana 35c. The "c" in Dana 35c does not stand for C-clip, it stands for custom. They are custom because they are shipped incomplete from the Dana factory to Chysler and Chrysler completes the build. The two versions have different shafts, bearings, and carrier. There is a C-clip elminator kit available for the Dana 35c. The Dana 35c is probably on the small side for hard four wheeling with larger tires and lockers.

So is that how they pull off that W12 of theirs?

yes, the W12 is two VR6 motors sharing a common crank. The VR6 is a narrow angle 2.8L, I believe it's a 15* cylinder offset. The w12 is two of those motors joined at 72*. The VR6 is a bad little motor and can be bored and stroked quite a way. A friend of mine in collage had a GTi with a 3.2L VR-6. It was a a powerful motor. Certainly enough to scare me in that little car.
