I'm sure there is a list out there, and this has probably been discussed over and over, but what other cars had 3.8 buick v6 engines?
 
Check the junkyard section someone put together a big list of all the interchangeable parts.

every rwd car built by GM in the 80's except the F bodies (with that one exception in 1989...).. well, maybe not every car line- i can't say i've ever seen a Caprice with a 231/3.8 in it, but they did put them in other B bodies..
 
You can tell the Buick 3.8 by looking at it.
90 degree
Deep skirt block
Valve cover style
 
And some fwd ones were roller cammed! Why, oh why didn't they give us that.:cry:

I wonder if the fwd blocks work in a rwd?

Im assuming that fwd 3.8 reatta would have been a roller cam. There aren't a lot of those around though.

Oh well, rwd 3.8 is probably a lot more prevalent.
 
Roller cams were in 86-87 fwd 3.8s. Some people have used the spider and dogbones from them to convert the 109 block to a roller cam...
