Could someone please explain to me the difference between a V-6 and an I-6? I know that the terms are not interchangeable, but i dont know why

There is a picture of one.
I know my comment about the slant 6 wasn't specific to Jeeps. Just trying to have a complete clarification of the 6 cylinder line of motors. As the Straight, Slant, and V6 is always confused.

Ah, yes the "flat 6" or as Corvair-guys call em..."Suitcase 6's"
Radial 6 aircraft yes.
But put in automotive terms..Rotary 6?
A Slant 6 225 in a Jeep? I would love to see that. IMHO they are more bulletproof then the 4.0L I6....
Ok. I'm sure that comment ruffled some feathers...

The slant six engines are probably the toughest engines ever built. Simple to work on, and last forever. Dad had one in a 71 Duster, he ran it for 2 weeks with only a half quart of oil in it, trying to blow it up. It finally started knocking on him one day, he got out and filled up the crankcase, and it quieted back down!! He drove it for another 6 months and it still ran when he parked it with over 200,000 miles on it.
