Olds 3.5 V6 and 4.0 V8...
What's gonna happen to these engines? I think their too early to retire and can be put into some GM cars that really need them (Buick comes to mind.) I think either in the Soltice should work.
Last I remember, the Bonnneville SSEi? was going to get the 4.0, though it was stroked to 4.4 liters.

I actually saw something that said the Bonneville GXP was going to have the 4.6. I thought that was kinda weird. I am guessing that the 3.5 will just be discontinued due to the new generation of engines that are comming out.

Yep. Both.
Anyway, yeah the 3.5 sounds weak now that I think about it, but wouldn't a mild cam change raise the hp? Oh well, it doesn't matter now that the 3.6 is in existance.
I do hope the 4.0 stays, it's done well in CART racing, and a well engineered V8.

Burmite "But I always thought the 3.6 is just an extension and reworking of the 3.5? "
No the 3.5 is a 90* v6 and the 3.6 is a 60* v6. The new family of 60* DOHC probably has more in common with the TDC 3.4 than most other motors.
