Thumbs up

I suspect that a search for "FWD head" will lead you to a thread with all the info you need.

Good Luck.

heads

Hi,
The boneyards are full of FWD cars, many of which have the 3.8 v6 as power. I found a few of these recently, let the motor lie and took some other stuff. !986 Olds Cieras seem to have a bunch of these motors installed. A bodies in general will have them. Gentlemen, the parts are out there, I guess we should look...

If yer heads are stock, no port and polish, you are better off getting some from a bone yard, if you have had work done to them, they can be fixed but it ain't cheap. These folks do a great job repairing cast iron heads http://www.indyheads.com/.
