I cut this from this website on the "2206 Monte Carlo" at the top right of the home page>>>>>>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>>

"The LTZ model comes with a 3.9 liter V6 building 240 horsepower and 245 ft/lb of torque without forced induction, whereas the 2005 supercharged model built the same 240 horsepower. These new V6 engines produce high horsepower and low end torque without compromising fuel economy by using a electronic variable valve timing system. etc, etc, etc...."

It also has the 17" wheels, Mcpherson struts, aluminum frame, and a bunch of other things.

I looked over one of those new 3.9L's on a rental Monte a couple of weeks ago. Nice engine, did I see right that it is all aluminum?

 

Good question. I haven't been able to determine that. I do know that the engine compartment and framing for the engine mount is loaded with aluminum. I am still researching the engine though.
