V6 swap?
Hello everyone, today I was driving my '85 GSL and seem to have lost most power, and am concerned the apex seals have went. I haven't investigated yet, but am in last resort mode and was thinking of a 3.8L Buick V6 swap. Thoughts? I know it would be hard, has anyone else done something similar? Is there a trans adapter? Thanks

Some guy who parks near my house to go surf all the time has an E30 engine in his FB. I haven't seen him in awhile, but I'll make him pop the hood and get a pic or two next time.
He definitely has a hood scoop, so it's not perfect fitment, but damn it sounds good.
