v-6 in early A-body

Well that does sound interesting for sure! I was going to do the slant 6 to v8 swap, but now I'm not so sure that is what I will do. How hard is it to find a good running 3.9 anyway?

They are everywhere and super cheap as most dont want them. Look for them in Daks, Durangos and Rams. Get a 96+ thats OBD II so you can flash the pcm to remove emissions and other things you might not want. Get a Tanks Inc FI tank so the pump is in tank and you are good to go. PM if you need help, advise or parts. Evan

3.8 is a great motor too out of a minivan. Small, smooth, Powerful, efi. Put a carb on top and you got a factory crossram intake but will have fuel puddling issues, just like the old version...... . Don't know about trans bolt pattern. 3.9 is a drop in.

Until the balance shaft eats itself, or any of the 100 other issues they have/had. Next time you are behind a caravan observe blue haze when they leave the light, it aint from the tires....they are good at keeping mosquitoes at bay...slightly better than the mitsubishi caravan but not by much.
