I've had extremely bad ideas about trying to find a Cadillac Catera and put an L67 in it to create a US-market Holden Commodore clone. I would say my biggest problem is the lack of available Cateras, but most people who read that last sentence will probably agree I have bigger problems than that.

My plan counselor. I've had the plan of putting a near stock L36 in a 64-65 Special/Skylark since 2010 or so.

"near stock" has never been words I've ever used....

though you make me wonder what year it was that Alex was looking at flattops for me in Arizona..... after that, I think, but not much,,, and it's plan was the 430 (which still may end up getting broken in on my wagon).

I've never thought about doing a 3800 in a flattop

patience, padawan, patience.... I don't have 20k for the motor yet, but I do have an LS that fills the space while I build it....

As you might guess I'm rather into Buick V6's of all stripes including the 3800 Series II which is the most common of the 3800 units. Too bad we only got the RWD 3800 as the L36 (NA motor) in the 95-02 F-bodies. If I ever get the 64-65 4dr or flattop Skylark/Special I keep an eye out for, it's what is going in it. Just cam swap for ~200hp and that's it. I'm sure I'll anger a fair few and say I'm thinking automatic, either 4L60E or 5L50E.

How much do you charge?

Dan

Dan, we're all mates here, how does "mates rates" sound?

In Australia if you say "I'll do it at mates rates" that says I'll do it for nothing because your a good friend. But it is cheeky to ask a mate to do a job for you at "mates rates" especially if it is unlikely the favor would be returned.

Okay the first use of the word "Barra" in Australia is for a shortened slag word used for a northern Australia sport fish a Burramundi, I'm fairly sure that would be an aboriginal name for the fish.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barramundi

So when Ford Australia were developing the motor it was called the "Barramundi Project" or Barra for short!

that looks like a tuna taco to me.
