The first is the L-series engine, and the second is the Caddy V-6.
200+hp N/A sure would be fun...

Here's the specs:

Saweet. How much hp does the na Saturn 6 make? Whats its displacement?

saturnd00d · 08-06-2003, 10:29 PM

3.0L V6 for the L-series which puts out 180hp and 220hp 3.2L V6 for the caddy. They even have the same engine management

nice! who's first??

Looks like the primary difference (besides displacement) is the induction system.

How 'bout just swapping that?

**** that.

Drop in a Hemi. Don't half ass things.

Wow, again with the Hemi!?! (hemmy?)

Y'know, if one was really determined, they could have an entire head fabricated with hemispherical combustion chambers.

Then again, for that kind of money, you could just buy a fast car.

Are we all forgetting that the Saturn V6 is set up for FWD and the Caddy V6 us set up for RWD?

if you are going that far, why not pop this thing in. your front end would explode, but boy, think of the chicks you would get
