From: disston on 15 Jul 2008 11:04 I think it was Buick. Had an Aluminium engine in something like '62. V8, I think it was 300 ci. I did a brake job on one of those cars once and really liked driving it. So when I gave it back to the girl that owneed it I tried to explain that it was of utmost concern that this car NEVER be over heated. Always check coolant and have a GOOD radiatoer, fan belt, water pump, etc....One year later she was trying to sell it to me because "We think it's only the head gasket". Right. Aluminium warps really good. disston

The engine was 215 cubic inches and had cast iron liners. GM sold the tooling to British Leyland and they continued to produce it for years. I think Ford finally stopped producing it when they bought Land Rover (but according to wikipedia, it is still in production at third party). Oldsmobile sold a turbocharged version. It was sold in various Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac intermediate sized cars (included the Tempest that used a transaxle with IRS).

The 2AZ-FE has a variant 2AZ-FXE for hybrid cars. By the way, the supercharged 2AZ-FE's found on some of the Scion tC, are there other modifications on the engine or just added the super charger? Would you be able to fit a supercharger on a camry, rav4 or highlander? |
