====LC4==== In response to rising gas prices, a larger {{cvt|4128|cc|CID L cc|1|adj=ri0|order=out}} version of the 3.8 liter LD5 V6 was produced from 1980 through 1984 and marketed as an alternative to a V8. The bore was enlarged to {{cvt|3.965|in|mm}}, yielding an output of {{cvt|125|hp|0}} and {{cvt|205|lbft|Nm|0}}. This engine was used in many large [[rear-wheel drive]] Buicks, and in some models from each of GM's other divisions, including Cadillac which offered the "big" Buick V6 in several models from 1980 to 1982 as a credit option to the troublesome [[Cadillac V8 engine#368 and V8-6-4|V8-6-4]] engine used in 1981 and early versions of the aluminum-block Cadillac [[Cadillac V8 engine#HT-4100|HT-4100]] V8 introduced in 1982. It was also the standard powerplant in the front-drive [[Buick Riviera|Riviera]] and [[Oldsmobile Toronado]] from 1981 to 1984. Additionally, the 4.1 block was used unsuccessfully at Indianapolis for racing. Its only weakness was the intake valve seals.{{citation needed|date=November 2024}} This was the first naturally aspirated GM V-6 to feature a 4-barrel carburetor. {| class=wikitable !Year !Horsepower !Torque !Fuel System !Compression Ratio !VIN Code |- |1980β1984|| {{cvt|125|hp|0}} at 4,000 rpm||{{cvt|205|lbft|Nm|0}} at 2,000 rpm||4-bbl||8.0:1||4 |} {{hidden begin |title = '''Applications''': |titlestyle = background:#88FF88; text-align:left; |bodystyle = text-align:left; }} * 1980β84 [[Buick Electra#Fifth generation (1977β1984)|Buick Electra]] * 1980β84 [[Buick LeSabre#1977|Buick LeSabre]] * 1982β84 [[Buick Regal#Second generation (1978)|Buick Regal]] * 1981β84 [[Buick Riviera#Sixth generation (1979β1985)|Buick Riviera]] * 1980β82 [[Cadillac Deville#1977 - 1984|Cadillac DeVille]] * 1981β82 [[Cadillac Eldorado#Tenth generation (1979β1985)|Cadillac Eldorado]] * 1980β82 [[Cadillac Fleetwood#1977β1986 .28RWD.29|Cadillac Fleetwood]] * 1981β82 [[Cadillac Seville#Second generation (1980β1985)|Cadillac Seville]] * 1981β83 [[Oldsmobile 98#1977|Oldsmobile 98]] * 1981β84 [[Oldsmobile Toronado#Third generation.2C 1979.E2.80.9385|Oldsmobile Toronado]] * 1982 [[Pontiac Grand Prix#1978|Pontiac Grand Prix]] * 1982 [[Pontiac Bonneville#Seventh generation (1982β1986)|Pontiac Bonneville]] {{hidden end}}
