kitz the 88 3.8 is a bit different than the 83..  block is longer ports different etc not to mention balance shaft.  so as far as keeping the 83 carbed would be a bit more difficult using the 88 block altho they make aftermarket set ups.  LSJ30  make sure to look for pre 88 3.8 as they will work for you as a long block  BTW a location would be helpful especially with wanting an engine as they are expensive to ship.  A website you should check out as well while checkin here for an engine is http://www.car-parts.com just enter your info of the vehicle and what part you want and what location you want to look in and it should give you a list of available engines for you in that area

I didn't know about the ports, I figured if if he kept it carb it would work.

You haven't seen me snippy...

I didn't see the post until later, or I would have said something sooner.  However you've been on the board long enough to know the rules by now.
