Can't get the owner on the phone.  I think it will probably be the 4100 Buick V8, not the V6. 

The 4.1 was basically an overbored 3.8 V6 that came in a few rigs, most famously the 82 Grand National.

Well, it IS the 4.1l V6 engine that I am looking for....or should I say, unfortunately, the engine block.   No valve covers, intake manifold, oil pan, etc.....just the block only.

I could move everything from the 3.8 over to the new overbored block, except the 3.8 intake (unless I wanted to be real silly).  Finding  4.1's can be real difficult....I would probably have the same luck finding the intake as I would have finding a whole engine.  I found two engines on car-part.com in Western Canada, both in other provinces.
