Yeah, it's really a Buick V6. Same family as the 3800. What do you want to know about it? PS, it would help to know the year and model, as there were different series of these V6 motors.

I believe that's a Series II motor. The block uses the bellhousing bolt pattern from the 60 degree V6 motors, not the traditional BOP pattern. Heads are different also - equally spaced exhaust ports instead of the earlier asymmetric ports (the old V6 motors had heads that were essentially V8 heads with the end cylinder cut off).

What is your question, specifically?

I had a 3800 series II last 145000 before I started having problems with it. Depends on how it's treated...
