For your information: all American V8 engines are 90 degree engines.
'Cept for a 1961 GM engine,
Peter, are you saying that GM had a 60 degree V8 gasoline engine that
was used in a 1961 US production automobile?

I seriously doubt it if
that is what you are implying, if you are correct it surely must have
been GM's best kept secret ever, can you cite any references?

I'm waiting with bated breath!

Developed for Buick in 1961, sold to Rover in 1964, never went into a
production car to my knowledge, but it was an American V8 that was not
90 degrees - and it eventually did see use even if then made
elsewhere. Even as spavined a company as American Motors in that era
built several experimental 60-degree V8 engines, again none went into
full production as I am aware. And, technically not American as I
dimly remember it was made in Canada.

So no 60 degree American V8. Looks like there is only one Jackass here
and his names is Peter Wieck, also known as Worthless Wiecky.

I also dimly remember a 60-degree V8 used in racing... hardly
production, but also to the point. I believe it was derived from the
GM engine as noted above, except that at the same time American Motors
was in that game...

Muddle, muddle, mystery engine, twitch and twaddle. You lied,
Worthless Wiecky. Again. Looks like there is only one Lying Jackass
here and his names is Peter Wieck, also known as Worthless Wiecky.

I am no motor-head, but like most Americans of a certain age who grew
up in Michigan, some of this stuff inevitably got into my blood. But
the Ford SHO engine, the Lincoln engine, the 500ci Sherman engine, and
quite the number of Detroit Diesel engines are all 60-degree V8s.
Perhaps Arny can be useful, I also heard that the Mercruiser 454ci BB
Marine Engine was a 60-degree engine? Also American if so.

You should get your facts straight before you start calling people
names, Worthless. Still ooks like there is only one Lying Jackass here
and his names is Peter Wieck, also known as Worthless Wiecky.

"All American V8s are 90-degrees". Sure they are. Mr. Jute has
written, so it must be.

The Boss wrote a book on it and several articles for distinguished
magazines with knowledgeable editors. Why should anyone believe the
Jackass Peter Wieck knows anything The Boss doesn't?
