Favorite Buick performance engine??

So what is it?? As you already know I'm with the LC2 3.8 (231CID) turbo v6. If it is other post up and let me know cause these are the only ones I can think of

how about the series I NA 3.8?

Just kidding! GNX ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!

I think Ill pull the engine out of my GN and drop one of thoes high Horsepower beasts in there. I don't think I have enought driver skill to handle all that torque....... For Sale 3.8 L turbo engine complete 300 bucks or will trade for a 3.8 NA engine :evillol: . man I crack my self up sometimes.


P.S. it's not for sale...

I was getting my hopes up

I should have known I'd never have a Turbocharged Park Avenue...

i voted for the LC2 as well (duhhhh), but i also like the "mighty" 455 stage 1. that would be great fun.

Hope you dont mind, I added a more recent engine to the mix.

nope don't mind at all I forgot about the supercharged cousin.

No muscle Buick fans in here...? I'm kinda partial to the 430 myself... :) 360 horses and 475 lbft of torque. :)

well, I'll add it for you!

Just give me a day, no time now

68 wildcat 350

wow no takers on the 401 nailhead. In one of my GSCA magazines there was a guy that made a motorcycle with a 401 nailhead. It was cool

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'm not dogging it! I love that engine!!!

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! :-)~
