Though I was looking for a third gen notchback, this thing was too cheap to pass up.

I think I still got plenty left for a notchback though, as I only paid $300. But this is where it gets complicated, I was told "if you want another get you gotta get rid of two, or find a new place to live".

Mine is a 2000. It's got just over 116,000 miles on it now with the 3.9 V6 and 5spd manual trans. It's alright to drive, but definately needs to be a V8. It'll run the 1/4-mile in 17.6 seconds. Embarassed

wow.... my jeep, uhm.. nevermind. i'm thinking 0-60. we timed my jeep charookie (4.0L HO biches! Rolling Eyes

) and it did 0-60 in 12 flat. this "timed" was done with a digital sports watch and the factory speedo... so it was real acurate Laughing

EDIT=WOW! so i just got to thinking about a photoshop i did back in highschool with my jeep. originaly intended as a backround image i mad it part of a webpage i wrote for a class my freshmen year of college. we had to host the page, so i hosted it on angelfire. it's still there. but the only image that is still there is the thumbnail version (this was before i knew how to resize with HTML) so her it is... one of my first ever photoshops from waaaaayyyy back Very Happy

also, the angelfire page would have been gone ages ago if i could remember the password Rolling Eyes

BTW no BOP or Caddy is a bb regardless of displacement. It's just a buick. Still pretty cool.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you said, but Buick does have a "big" block and a "small" block.

No they have tall deck, and short deck.. only ford, chevy, and chrysler have bb and sb designations.

In order to actually be a BB vs a sb you must have a larger bore to bore spacing then the sb version. This requires a completely different crank etc. The BOP engines only increased deck height to allow for more stroke to increase engine size. They can even use the same heads from their small motors to large unless compression gets too high. A true bb cannot use sb heads.
