Not possible I don't think :?

Speedy response there guys :D Yeah I wasnt too hopeful. Do these engines have any similarities with ours? or are they totally different?

I don't know much about the Ford 3.8, but the torque output is pretty similar to our motors, with less hp, I think. Oh, and they love to blow head gaskets :lol:

There was a post a while ago about this.

The Ford 3.8 has an overhead cam design. It doesn't last nearly as long as ours.

Were talking a buick 3.8 though. Do we really expect Ford to compare? :bow:
