The shortstar is a 3.5 liter engine. It is unlike any other 6 cylinder GM has offered. Lot power to these babies, my Aurora has this engine and it will hump up and go for such a heavy car. The 3.4 is a Camaro engine for the most part, it is a updated version of the 2.8/3.1 that has been stroked/bored. They make good power, the older mustang 5.0s often had trouble outrunning a stout 3.4 camaro with just a K&N filter. |

these little motors make real good H.P. but on a conventional buggy they would be a little heavy |
