3800 Engine Build

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
