    Does anyone know if the 4.3L GM Diesel( Buick?) motor has the same bolt pattern as the 225 V6? Has anyone attempted to use this in place of it?

    RWD version is BOP pattern and FWD is 2.8 Chev

    Decent engine that got a bad rap from the Olds V8 Diesel. (Its a "lopped off " Olds 350 IIRC)

    Cutlass mostly IIRC but available thoughout the midsize line. (malibu monte carlo regal lemans etc.)Rarer than hen's teeth to find now 'cause weren't near as popular as 350 was in full size cars.
