GM Atlas trivia and a turbo 4200 in an F-body
Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2014 5:41 pm
The Atlas is better known in its inline 6 incantation, the Vortec 4200. DOHC.
Also, GM made 4- and 5-cylinder variants of this engine displacing 2.8L and 3.5L respectively ("sawed off" 4200).
What I didn't know was the 3.5L was replaced with a 3.7L (bored out) and it produced 242 hp and 242 lb-ft.

Inspiration from this post came from this thread, which chronicles the installation of a turbocharged 4200 into a 3rd gen F-body, which is interesting indeed: http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/engin ... 200-a.html
