There are also Diesel EcoTec (no H) engines, made by Fiat, Isuzu, and Daewoo, for Opel and Chevrolet models. None in the US, though.
The Holden V6 ecotec is a 3.8ltr (based on a buick I believe?) the 4.2 (253ci) is an old school V8 -designed around AU only "Red motor" 6 cylinder components, and is a good motor, but not a very fuel efficient one. There was also a 5 liter (308 ci) version.
The V6's are a very common swap into lots of cars,there are kits to put them into everything from Transits to Mazda B2200's.
