The 3.8 is famous for the EGR passage eroding the plastic upper plenum which will cause the coolant to get sucked into the combustion chamber.
In both cases, the coolant gets burnt and sent out the exhaust. It then gets stuck in the converter substrate, causing the sulfur smell.

Thanks for the response, Forgot to mention that the motor is a 3.1. Did the compression test today and found #3 cylinder dead, now my focus will be on searching the wrecking yards for a suitable replacement.
