- Heck, in the year that Larry has had the V8 in his 'B', it has never stranded him, never leaked a drop of oil, has had absolutely no driveability problems, and has been completely reliable. Hey Larry

- You're abosulutely right. They are not the same engine. The LeSabre NEVER had the 3.5 L (215 cid) engine. The LeSabre engine was a cast iron brick. And if I remember my Buick geneology (which I have
