Sup guys? I got a question, So I am here to get you guys feedback.

I got a 1989 Regency Ninety Eight 3.8 V6 (front wheel driver) and was wondering is it possible to swap either the motor from a GN without any tranny adapters having to be fabbed or go with the Series II or III motor. Or are there any crate engines? If so where can I find one.

Researched a little but thought I'd get your input first. Thanx in advance.

Won't bolt up. Your's is a Series II engine that uses a narrower transmission bellhousing compared to the RWD Series I engines.  I don't know about going with a Series III engine, but my gut feeling is it would bolt up, you would just have to work out the electronics for the engine management system.  


The Silver Buick- '77 Skylark coupe w/455&TKO-600, '72 Centurion Conv't - 455w/TH400, '67 T-bird 4Dr (suicide) w/428&C6. Needing to replace a '69 Firebird 400.
