My 95 Chevy 4.3 L.pickup blew a head gasket between two cylinders, and my mechanic says the head is probably warped. I also have an old 3.8 L. Oldsmobile. Are the heads interchangable, or at worst, are the engines interchangable?
Thanx
Woody

No, not to my knowledge. The only heads that will interchange with old 3.8l heads are 3300'* IIRC.
