That new SMALL small block Chev

Posted elsewhere, I know nothing about this. I heard it was an option in the "Chev 2"

I think somebody did something similar to this.

Two-Cylinder V-Twin Chevy Engine - Engine Builder Magazine

Sometimes being a hoarder pays off. Johnny Gardner and his son were doing some spring cleaning in the shop and found a box of blown up small block Chevy parts. Not wanting to see the parts go to waste, it turned into a challenge to build something with them. The result was a one-of-a-kind...

The only other engine I've ever seen in the Chevy II other than the small block and straight 6 was the 151 4 cylinder. But of course, never say never. lol

Chevy did develop a V4 engine in the 80s. The project died and went nowhere. They went with an inline 4.
GM Developed a V4 in the '80s for Economy Cars. It Went Nowhere.

Yeah that was the forerunner to the 60 degree V6. The 2.8, 3.1 and 3.4.

Jeep had a mass produced V4 engine I think it was sometime in the 60s.

Say what?

Yeah. The AMC Mighty Mite.

1963 AMC Mighty Mite Was a V-4 Mini Jeep Built for US Marines, and Now It's for Sale

It's cute. It's tiny. It's a legit four-wheeler in excellent condition.

It's funny you mention that. The plan was (so I read) to base the V4 and the V6 off of the same block design. That way they could share some parts and be built on the same assembly line.

The chevy 4.3 was basically a 350 with two cylinders missing.

It was a good engine and used in thousands of chevy trucks and many many boats.

It is still popular today for jeep transplants as well as many other close quarters engine swaps.

Yes. Same pistons, rings, crank bearings, rods, timing set, water pump, pushrods, rockers, oil pump.....I'm sure I'm missing something. Much like the Chrysler 3.9.
