3.8l v6
this may be a stupid question but would the 3.8l v6 from an old Buick Regal bolt in to a 3rd gen? would it be worth the effort? i'm not considering it right now. the thought just kinda popped into my head

Re: 3.8l v6
If your going to go through the trouble of swapping and freshening everything up, I would just slap a 350 or sumthing or other. It wouldnt be worth it. A carb. 350 can drop in easily, you'll need to change your motor mounts and the trannsmission crossmember, hope this inspired you, Charlie.

Re: 3.8l v6
i was just asking. i never planned on getting rid of my 2.8. i was just curious. and the stuff in the stick seemed to be referring to FWD engines if i'm not mistaken. i'm probably wrong. i'm not much of a GM guy. i just really like 3rd gens.
