What's your favorite?
That is seriously a hard question. They all have their own pros and cons. If I HAD to choose ONE engine from a W-body.... It'd PROBABLY be the 3500

As this is in the W-body section I'll give you my favorite w-body engine. It would have to be the LQ1 hands down.

I do enjoy the power of the LQ1, but hate working on it (my own personal bad experience)... I really enjoy the power of the 3800 supercharged but hate the slushbox its attached to... I enjoy how smooth the 3100 cars are, but they are slower than sin... The 3.8SI/2.8/3.1 are all bulletproof... So all of the engines have there advantages which I why I said all of them

Shift kit and a tune = not so slushy box.
1995 Buick Regal GS(X) - Heavily modified. /modlist
we had a 95 with the 3100 and now a 89 Regal with the 3.1, I can definitely tell that the 3100 has more get up. on the plus side, the Gen2's didn't have the pblm with the intake gaskets that the Gen 3 ones did.
Oh, they all had intake gasket issues
