Anyone actually attempted this? They put out around 208kw - 212kw @ 4400rpm with roughly the same weight as the 3.8l, and pretty much bolt straight into a gemini

Ive been told that a few people tried this conversion back in 1988 but Im not sure what happened in the end.

Only found 3.8 litre conversions, not 4.3 litre. So anyone attempted this? Im just going through some ideas of what to put in my Coupe shell for a butnout/drag car.

I found somewhere on the net a pic of a Brazilian Gemini two door sedan which apparently had a 4.3 in it. I am assuming that is the Buick V6. I only have a picture of it, no details.
