You can get the A pillar gauge holders from our vendors here like Kirbans and TR performance. The links to their pages are at the bottom of the homepage here.
People will laugh at you because no one associates a V6 with performance. They think if you don't have a V8, then you don't have anything.
Those same people also still think Chevy double hump heads are the best heads on the market and haven't gotten out of 1960's technology....yet.
But those same people would have a "WTF" look on their face if they were ever taken by an LC2 V6.
The 3.8 liter was used in RWD Cutlass, Regal, Grand Prix, even some Montes had them....BUT here's the catch....all Buick 3.8's were front distributor driven....if it's rear distributor it's a Chevy 3.8. Not the same engine.
Also I believe the full size RWD cars like Delta 88 and Le Sabre came with the 3.8 in them.
And if you get lucky enough to see one of these short lived cars....the 76-80 RWD Sunbird, Skyhawk, Starfire and I think even Monza....all came with the 3.8's.
Make sure you look for the RWD cars I just mentioned. The FWD's won't work.
They started making 3.8's as early as 1975.
Here's a 79 Regal for $500 on Ft. Worth/Dallas CL. It says it has a bad head....maybe the bottom end is good and you can reuse your heads?:

Just start with a good crank at most 10/10 and 2 dot rods. ARP main studs and rod bolts-there's your solid short block. Unless you go with 2 turbos, Then you might have to spend some real money.
