The Chevrolet 90 degree V6 was a family of V6 engines that began in 1978 with the 200 cubic inch (3.3 litre) engine, the base engine of the all new 1978 Chevrolet Malibu. It was built from the Chevrolet small-block V8 by leaving out the number 3 and number 6 cylinders, so it shares that V8's 4.4 inch bore spacing, deck height, bellhousing pattern and many parts, including the valvetrain, pistons and lubrication parts. To tame the roughness of a 90 degree six, each pair of connecting rod throws on the crankshaft was offset by 18 degrees. It had cast iron blocks and heads and a pushrod valvetrain, and it powered rear-drive cars and trucks and industrial and marine equipment. The family was phased out in early 2014 with the 4.3 litre V6 in Chevrolet and GMC trucks and vans, replaced by a new Generation V 4.3 litre based on the LT1 small-block.
