The RWD carbureted 3.8 was the base engine for GM midsize cars like the Cutlass, Grand Prix & Regal and others through the mid 80's. In fuel injected form, ultimately, the Grand National turbo engine. The 3.8 RWD uses the BOP bellhousing bolt pattern. Being the basis for the GN turbo engine, there are a lot of performance parts out there still to this day; TA Performance a major supplier.
