Talk:GM Iron Duke engine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Intake manifold on passenger side?

My Pontiac Astre had an Iron Duke, and I seem to remember that its intake manifold was on the left (driver's) side. Anyone concur? -—Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.147.103.35 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Origin of the 'Iron Duke' moniker

Does anyone know how the engine got the name "The Iron Duke"?--King V (talk) 06:23, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Because it has all the technological innovation, efficiency, and reliability of a 150-year-old steam engine? (Wow, a 2.5 litre engine from the 80s/early 90s that develops 90hp or less, and is recommended to keep under 70mph to avoid wearing out the timing mechanism... only in the American auto industry, eh! *breezes past at 80 in a more powerful, reliable european/japanese design with half the displacement*) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.46.180.56 (talk) 02:10, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 2500?

Where is this engine ever referred to as 2500? I've never seen that anywhere. --Sable232 02:44, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I've never heard any such reference myself.--King V (talk) 06:21, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
