Re: daydreaming: 3.8 Buick Turbo GN swap anyone ever done it?
 

;^) I think one of the attractions of a V6, is the weight factor and the
perception that there will be lots of room under the hood. This in theory
will make installation and handling easier than a V8. However, you have to
look at the fact that the V8 transplant has been done at least hundreds of
times, and you can find all the problems and solutions discussed ad
infinitum on the Net and elsewhere. If you really want a V6, the 4.3 litre
GM V6 uses the same bell housing pattern as the V8.
