It is a good durable motor as long as you don't take into account the intake gaskets.

These have been some great engines... In 88 the 3800 Vin C engine was the lowest friction engine of the time, and was a redesign of the 3.8... It was also designed to emitt less emissions.... All in all it was a durable motor and just kept improving

The 3800 II was a totall redesign of the C and L 3800'*... It was designed to again lower emissions, make more power, and do it all with less weight both internally and blockwise... The emissions of the 3800II in 95-96 was down to dust when the cat warmed up... Or almost nothing... Very clean engines
