Guest Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 I'm looking for information about OEM, or after-market performance goodies for the 3.8L V6 engine. I would also like to know the smallest G.M. vehicle to use this engine. I am aware of the Reatta, but was looking more towards a non-sportscar body. Any assistance will be sincerely appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowLark Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 The many Grand National/Turbo Regal fans have their own substantial industry of 3.8 performance parts. Do some Internet searches for "Buick Grand National" as a start for your research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted "Wildcat65" Nagel Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 Chevy had a "Lumina LTZ" with the 3800.<BR>Reatta and LTZ weighed about the same. Nice driving car, that LTZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 I always liked the Oldsmobile Trofeo as a small luxury coupe. I'm almost positive it had a 3.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 Hey, Tomsriv.....I spoke to you on the other post. I don't believe I have ever heard of the Olds Trofeo. What does it compare to in other GM cars? Hey, Wildcat65, I had a buddy that had one of those Lumina LTZ's, and I believe he told me it had a 4.3 in it. Whatever it was, It was HOT!! I'm so tempted to try a retrofit with a 4.3 in a Buick, but, then it wouldn't be a Buick, would it? I know, I know......a 4.3 probably won't fit into any of the standard configured Buicks, but who said anything about standard? I've stuck 440 Mopar engines in Chevies, and Buick V6's into Dodge Darts. Thanks, guys! I appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
