</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I don't think the I-6 is much longer then the V-8 Mike. )</font>
Its not that its longer(though I guess the other guys are right too /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif).. Its more regarding the shape.. Its easier for the I-6 to punch a hole in the ""thermal barrier"(thats what they call the firewall now) than it is for the much wider V-8 to do the same.. So, in a crash the V-8 is more likely to stay outside than the I-6.. Small margine I would think, but these are some of the things they think about behind the scenes..

They could always just mount the I-6 in a transverse position to increase the safety factor even greater than that of a V-8 in either forward or transverse positioning.....

/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Well, yea...... I guess they could, but it wouldnt leave any room for the transaxle /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.. Would you buy a FWD "truck"? The towing capacity would drop to nothing...
