    I worked on a 3.3 older buick park avenue or century, it shared similar if not the same block/heads/valve covers. Yes I know one does not simply assume such things but heck why not. Would there be, has anyone tried swapping head from a 33 to a 38? its been done many times on a 31 and 34 so why not maybe the same with these too? It seems like it could really add a bit of power if it were all ported out well. Thoughts? Comments Please? I think Im gonna look for one and check it out one my spare block I have.

    Why? There's nothing about a 3.3 that makes it superior to the 3.8.

    It was just a line of query, plenty of other vehicles swap head from other cars for more power, I was curious if anyone else has seen, thought, or heard of it being done.

    Not even close to the same design, they could never fit.

    3.3 is a low deck version of a 3.8
