Hope that's understandable.
I think I hurt myself with that one, hope it was correct, Glen's brother Gene raced tq's with us, and as it wasn't secret, he let us in on it 😉. Don't ask about bore spacing, it's not doable right now.
The V6 block was a 90 degree block like the smallblock V8 with 2 cylinders cut off of it. The 60 degree V6 had the offset rod journals. There used to be several guys that ran the 60 degree engines in the midgets. Potter and the Arnold brothers are a few that come to mind.
