Thread: 3.8 Identify Help?????

    3.8 Identify Help?????

    I bought a 1951 F1 with a Buick 3.8! I am trying to identify the year of the 3.8. It has 14 bolt oil pan, 2 barrel carb and HEI in the front of the engine. Thanks in advance...

    looks like the 3.8 went to Fuel injection for 1986. HEI didn't arrive until 74(?).

    try looking here, it has casting numbers:

    this page says all 3.8s after mid-1985 had 20 bolt oil pans:

    F1? that's the original F-series pickup? what an odd engine swap.

    Yes it is a pickup truck! The engine is very clean so I am thinking about using it for a while. Need to change valve cover gaskets...
