I believe it was called the "Iron Duke", so people would not think it was the aluminum engine that was first installed in the Vega, the "aluminum puke". My brother had a '72 Vega GT. It puked it's oil out, when one of the cylinders dropped. These motors were infamous for puking oil, due to the aluminum or alloy cylinder sleeves. Once the block was resleeved with steel, the engine did much better. By the time GM got around to fixing the engine problem, the public was put off by the Vega name. Not even installing the Cosworth engine saved the Vega.
