Re: 3.8 I. D.
Well since its a 99 it will be a 3.8. Either a 3.8 or LS1...theres no other options........................................... .......................................? -
Re: 3.8 I. D.
can you defiantly tell it is a 3800?
GM puts the casting Numbers on the deck behind the head on the drivers side. on replacement engines it just says the size like a 3800 block will say 3.8. but the casting number will not tell you if it is out of a 99 it will just tell you that it is a 3.8. i can tell you that all 3800 II naturally aspirated motors are all replaced by the same engine (89017861 $2000new).96 camaro auto base model<br />slp cai<br />pacesetter headers<br />flowmaster catback<br />35th anniversary ss wheels<br />richmond 3.73<br />98+ ss spoiler<br />hypertech 160 degree thermostat<br />transgo shift kitComment

Re: 3.8 I. D.
top of intake will say if it is a series too and such. Also look at the tb, is it straight or angled, that will be a dead giveaway if it is angled that it is pre-99. All 99+ cars came with straight tbComment

Re: 3.8 I. D.
It's definitely a 3.8 and a damn clean one. It was suppose to replace an engine that wasn't bad, just the upper intake was used,even have the ac comp. So,if the series ll blocks are the same all I need is the upper intake.Comment

Went ahead and moved my starter wire from the back, to the front again since it had no effect on my drain on the battery. Also made me nervous driving...2 weeks ago -
Building the Tom Henry RS
Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff.
By: Hib Halverson
At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...02-07-2020, 10:30 PM
