3.8 V-6 (can Anything Be Done!!!!!)

So a few of you guys claim some good power can be developed from the venerable 3.8?  Most of the aftermarket or buildups I see are based around the fuel injected versions, not the carb version in my mother's 83.

If you really need to stay 3.8 find an 88 in the Junkyard and swap the parts to bring it to 88 spec, either that or find a good 3.8SC and start swapping that. I've owned and 88 and driven many 83-87 3.8 and there is a night and day difference. I never knew why people dogged on the 3.8 until I drove the CFI version. Then it was all to clear.
