Besides being horribly underpowered for any car, let alone one with a Camaro badge on it, these engines were terribly trouble prone.

60k miles was about time for a head gasket. If one made it to 100k miles, it was due for a full rebuild. Rings, seals..... bad, bad, bad engineering design.

Nightmare of an engine..... and GM continued the lineage of the iron duke well into the 1990s.... the 4 cylinder models in cars like the Beretta, Cavalier, Celebrity....

Nasty engine.
