===={{anchor|LG2|LG3}}3.8 FWD LG2/LG3==== In mid-1984, the 3.8 liter [[#LD5|LD5 engine]] was modified for transverse-mounting in smaller, [[front-wheel drive|FWD]] vehicles, and equipped with multi point fuel injection (MPFI). 1984-1985 models used a distributor and a distributorless [[wasted spark]] ignition system was added for all engines produced in 1986 and later. In 1986, it received sequential fuel injection (SFI) and it was initially produced in two forms, the LG2 with flat lifters (tappets), and the LG3 with a roller camshaft and lifters. The latter was offered in various models through 1988. From 1986, the 3.8 had a revised, crankshaft-driven oil pump which eliminated a longstanding problem with pump housing wear and loss of prime. Power produced by this engine was: * VIN code B (LG2): flat lifters (tappets) ** {{cvt|140|hp|kW|0}} at 4,400 rpm, {{cvt|200|lbft|Nm|0}} at 2,000 rpm * VIN code 3 (LG3): roller lifters (tappets) ** {{cvt|125|hp|kW|0}} at 4,400 rpm, {{cvt|195|lbft|Nm|0}} at 2,000 rpm (1984β1985 MPFI) ** {{cvt|150|hp|kW|0}} at 4,400 rpm, {{cvt|200|lbft|Nm|0}} at 2,200 rpm (1986β1988 SFI) {{hidden begin |title = '''Applications''': |titlestyle = background:#88FF88; text-align:left; |bodystyle = text-align:left; }} *1984β1988 Buick Century *1986 Buick Riviera (LG2) *1987 Buick Riviera (LG3) *1986β1987 [[Buick Lesabre#Sixth generation .281986.E2.80.931991.29|Buick LeSabre]] *1985β1987 [[Buick Electra]] *1984β1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera *1986β1987 [[Oldsmobile 88#1986.E2.80.931991|Oldsmobile Delta 88]] *1985β1987 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight *1986β1987 Oldsmobile Toronado *1987βEarly 1988 Pontiac Bonneville {{hidden end}}
