Later in the development of the 3.8 L Buick they changed the Bellhousing style to the GM small bell configuration . The Buick V-6 used to have the BOP bell , but when that engine was re-done to the Buick 3800 the bell was changed to the GM small bell , so the block was different and was used even in RWD vehicles like the 4th gen Firebirds and Camaros with that small bell . My street car is a 1996 Firebird with a 3800 and it has a 4L60e with that small bellhousing . The small bell was used on the Chevy 2.8 , 3.1 , and 3.4 L engines .
