*229 cid (3.8L, not to be confused with the Buick-derived 3.8L 231 cid V6 used through the years), is 3/4 of the mostly ignored 305 SBC V8. Made 1980-'84.

*4.3L (262 cid), the best of the bunch by far. This is 3/4 of the SBC 350 and as such, shares some of the parts and dimensions with the 350. Made 1985-2014. The 1992 model year saw the first use of a balance shaft; all 1995-present 4.3L V6 engines are equipped with a balance shaft. The 4.3L V6 got a revised cylinder head in 1996 with specs much like the SBC V8 [[Vortec L31 cylinder head]].
