3.8 V-6 (83) Reply #2 – November 05, 2008, 06:35:11 AM 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 Quote Selected
