Regardless if the parts fit or not, the 3.8 is, in effect, 2/3 of a 5
litre v8 - optimized for production (in other words, you CAN NOT use off
the shelf parts for a new engine).Unlike GM in years past, you cannot
pull a ford 4, 6, or 8 cyl engine and replace it with one of the others
without changing a lot. GM inline 6, V6, V8 small block, big block, and
iron duke 4 all interchanged. Pontiac/Buick would fit Chev/Olds if you
changed tranny with engine (different bolt pattern). Try that with
Fomoco or Mopar.
