Why Didn't GM use their 4.2 L Engine in H3s?

I didn't intend to underline my earlier post!
Tainter: That's an interesting post about the I-6 prototype.
Diesel: I'm not sure if I agree that the I-5 transmission is not reliable. In my experience, most transmission issues were caused by poor maintenance and improper use. Jeep owners have similar issues.
Just my opinion and worth exactly what you are paying me for it. It's all good fun.

I have had many SUVs, there is something to compare.

From the article Hummerz linked:
"...Chevy Bel Air convertible concept which featured an American-built, inline-five based on the Atlas architecture. It was fitted with a virtual boost system that modified ECU parameters with a push of a button to unleash up to 315 hp."
That would be a neat trick on the I5 H3s!

Nice thought, Col Sanders! However, I don't think Cummins has a diesel that will fit. GM sold the H3 abroad with a diesel option! But the treehuggers in the US forced such high emission standards that the diesel could not meet!
