next question, 3.8 oil pans.... is there a rear sump (not center sump) pan for these? the motor is actually just a bit too far back - if it moves forward, the transmission fits in the tunnel - but not with the center sump.... I think I answered my own question, but a quick solution would be nice (rather then one that requires fabbing or refabbing the pan). I may be running to the wrecking yard tomorrowLast edited by SuperBuickGuy; June 29, 2019, 08:03 PM.Doing it all wrong since 1966

I took the stock pan and cut the bottom off of it then bent my own kickout sump box and welded it on then added a baffle plate inside.
I think they only come in two longitudinal varieties for the 3.8L, the one you have and the FWD one out of the Riv/Eldo/Tornado. Could check if the Jeep Dauntless stuff will work or dig up a 64-67 225 pan and modify it with a baffle plate since that's all the turbo motor had over the NA units. 85's were mixed between 14-bolt and 20-bolt. Which is annoying because the 86+ 3.8's have a slightly different deck height than the 76-85's.Last edited by CTX-SLPR; June 30, 2019, 08:31 PM.Central TEXAS Sleeper

more sweaty, dirty work
take all the suspension out
safety third
new bits
motor is out, again
wood screw holding the steering column down... nothing but the best safety practices
and there it is out to be washed
looks the same only has about 30 lbs less dirt
it's the Ford hubcaps that makes it tow so well

This one is for the Buick V6 that ended up in the Holdens here.
However they started going into them in 88 so I think going from what is said above it would be 20 bolt?

time to make stuff you'll never see pretty
and the fun of putting brakes together
I think it had new slave cylinders... don't care, they're cheap
it's like a puzzle with extra and missing pieces but no picture
okay a picture of something similar
two packages of stuff to get most of what I need.... missing the parking brake bar
this has everything but the e-brake and it's for both sides
since I have to order the bar
back to installing

rattle can rebuild
bit of weight in the front.... yeah, the rear axle overbalanced it
sway bar installed
start of suspension work
so there's only one, slight problem with these lower arms
how does one lube those zerks when the suspension is together?
but the steering box was a direct bolt in
cleaned and painted the steering arms too
thanks for watching
