Yeah and chevy was the last to get them. Its like saying a duramax is not a diesel cause its in a chev. After tearing apart a bunch of l67s i noticed the disassembly and design is nearly identical to my 231

Technically you and scotty are both off on your statements, since the mid/late 80's
Pontiac, buick and the like hasn't designed any engines. GM took the market and designed all of the engines for their B*tch companies that built cars to make GM rich. Then later gave them an excuse to file bankruptcy.
But the engines are specifically GM.
Not chevy or buick. Im with scotty though, they are designed more like the Chevy minus two cylinders.
And the duramax was designed by izuzu. Lol. Let's not attack that sh*tty subject

DIESEL ENGINES WERE DESIGNED BY A MAN BY THE LAST NAME DIESEL. Troll attempt, fail. And what in the design aside from the lifters is more like a chevy? Are saying i can use the parts to tipswap a chevy. Or that i can use 4.3 parts to get eid of the external oil passage?
sorry but its a buick...it shares no architecture with the sbc based "chevy" v6 aside from them both being split journal on center v6 engines
it does however share every major component with its ancestors. you can bolt a 62 buick v6 head to an 09 SII...same bolt pattern...right down to the same 7/16ths threads in the cylinder deck.
the LC3/LG3/LN3/L27/SI L67/ and the SII (L26/36 and L67/32 are all buick decendants...not a damn one of em is a "clean sheet" design....you dont think gm fired all their engine guys that were champions of the turbo buick...no they rolled them into developing the v6 further. lotta buick enthusiast in GM...
plain point of this is that the 3800 is a direct buick v8/v6 descendant and shares little with the much younger chevy v6
