2.6 V6? is that an oem Engine?

I have a set of heads I'd sell cheap + shipping if you need them. But be forwarned the best swap is the 94-96 (I think that is the years.) 3.4L out of the camaro. JMHO. But you will have to get a wireharnes made. There was a guy that did it. The harness was close to $500 imsc. Oh yea and it will be a 207 not a 231 tcase. And there are 2 different trannys the 904 lockup and non lock up. They have different TConverts and different input length. Kudzu ran into this problem with there 86 2.5L.

"The 3.8 was a SBC less two cylinders," and I've always wondered why the 4.3 wouldn't bolt in, too. Same bellhousing pattern?

Hmmmm, cheap chevy hot rod parts! And a "stroker"! Hmmmm? I'm sure it would take some interesting fabbing, but enough for here.

IIRC, the Buick 3800 uses the BOP bolt pattern, the 2.8 Chev uses the Chev 60 degree pattern, the 4.3 Chev uses the 90 degree pattern (SBC).

I am not certain if the old odd-fire Buick 3.8 and the Buick 3800 use the same bolt pattern. Probably but confirm.
