I’m starting a 4.1 budget build and I’m looking for stock 86-87 3.8 parts. I’m planning to drop the motor in a NA Regal. Can I find any of this stuff in the junk yard? What cars have it? I need just about everything except valve covers/plenum & crank pulley.

Here is what I know I might be able to find in the junk yard:
Throttle cable/throttle cable bracket
ECM
Fuel Rail
Alternator
Water pump pully

Anything else I should look for?
 
Do you have just a 4.1 bare block? You looking for the 3.8 parts to use in it?
 
I've got the 4.1 NA longblock. Just looking to finish a complete turbo build. Just need pistons now.
 
Did you check beforeblack.net? They give a list of cars that the parts are interchangeable.... Good luck!
 
Throttle cable/throttle cable bracket=LC2 Only
ECM=Abundent-used on other models
Fuel Rail=LC2 Only
Alternator=Abundent-used on other models
Water pump pully=LC2 Only

You're going to have a tough time finding the parts I marked LC2 Only. Do a search as there are plenty of threads on why boneyard brackets,fuel rails,etc won't bolt on.
