now i know your specialty isnt the 3.8... so you probably dont happen to know that they are almost the same engine. infact, if i remember correctly, buick developed the engine; when ford wanted a larger v6 quickly, they simply copied it. that was back in the 70s so there are differences through their evolutions, but they come from the same origin. they are both known for having invincible blocks also. and the ford 3.8 is very reliable. infact all you need to do to a 99-04 mustang 3.8 to make it hold insane boost levels like the GN, all you need are new rods&pistons. no one has found the limit on a ford 3.8 yet.
