Here is a site I ran across which has some great pics of the 3800 Engine block being built up.

Some of you may find this interesting:

Looks so simple. I kinda want to yank my engine out now and throw in forged components.

Correct me if im wrong, but thats a FWD version of the engine....I believe the F-Body was the only car to get the 3800 Series II L36 engine in RWD form the rest are FWD....No, dont say GN thats a Series I 3800 differnt engine..same family. But yea...

Yeah its a 1988 Engine which was FWD in the Buicks. However I don't believe the engine block is all that dissimilar from our own.

yea i think the 3800 engine is the same short block either way but anything up from that has small differences between the rwd and fwd versions

the only thing the GN has is commen is the 3.8L that is it nothing else works within the blocks
