Hank, I think your right. Mostly because the popularity for the Chevy 6 here in the US has come and gone as far as the manufacturers are concerned. Sure on here there seems to reflect a large amount of interest in them because its about inlines, but compared to the 30-40+ million other Hot Rod markets in the US parts are availabe for, the 6 cylinder probably equals some decimal of a percentage of 1% of the total performance market. But in South America in general, the Chevy 6 to them, is as the SBC is to us in the US, mainly because its one of the only few engines they have there in those countries to race and hot rod. So its kinda' their Small Block Chevy in a way. Its my understanding that V8 cars have never been available there off the showrooms, so any V8 they want to build up has to be shipped there from a country that has them, like the US.
