[QUOTE="Bassin Buick, post: 7175274, member: 627787"] Went out to the salvage yard today , and scoured the yard for potential candidates to go in my car. And the final decision was a 3800 that was in a mangled buick le sabre. Coolant was beautiful , under hood was spotless , oil was not too old either. Dropped the oil pan to check for any loose rods and all were tight. Compression was 165-170 on every cylinder also. So i started dismantling the cradle and got it out on the ground to start tearing the motor down. I only need the block because the top end on my original motor had all been rebuilt recently. While dismantling this motor i came across a strange tag i've never seen before. It said Remanufactured By GM , and it had specs of all that was changed internally , and the date it was remanufactured. It was remanufactured in 2002 and is bored .030 over. All is well in buick land tonight , by the middle of the week i will be mobile again!!! With a newer , [B]BIGGER[/B] motor too. I feel like a kid at christmas , i just can't wait!! [/QUOTE]
