You know, as much crap as you guys give the n/a 3800 series one. In my opionion it's one the most reliable 3800's ever built.

I own a 1970 455 in a Electra Drop Top...great engine. Need all that power just to get that 5000 lbs of steel moving! :-) It rocks in smaller cars but even in my land yacht it likes to go...
But I also own the newer Supercharged 3800 in a pontiac Bonneville SSEi. Second 3800 I've owned. Awesome V6 for sure, stability like a rock. I gave the old car away with over 160k on that engine with no overhaul or work other than regular fluid changes, sparkplugs and wires. What an engine. GM is starting to phase out the 3800 which makes me sad...it works so well...the newer motor better live up to the Buick 3800 they have been putting in *all* the GM lines for years now! :-)~
