Re: Cars that came with a 4, 6, and 8 cylinder
I imagine a 5cyl engine works like a v8 or something. Take 360deg for a rotation, multiply it by two for a 4-stroke motor, then divide the 720 by 5, one for each cylinder, and space the pistons out 144deg apart.

The earlier 3.0 V6 was much more interesting, IMO - the bottom end + heads could be finessed into a Vulcan 3.0 for easy RWD fitment. For when you can't fit a V8, but need a little power... SHO was a pretty decent car, their track times just sucked because the Taurus suspension is slightly less gay than a 350K mile Honduh Civic after three different Mexicans have had their way painting it different primary colors...

1982 - The all new designed 3rd generation Camaro's are introduced with bang. All though not in the base engine, the "Iron Duke" 2.5 Inline Four making 90 horsepower.
1987 - Finally back was the tried and true GM 350 small block. Unfortunately it could only be had with the four speed automatic, but it was rated 225hp so that helped make up for it. But for those true enthusiasts out there you could get the new TPI 305 that could be mated to the five speed manual transmission.
The 1987 production year praised the return of the convertible and to the praise of enthusiasts everywhere the 2.5 four cylinder was killed off never to return.
