LD5 Engine for Sale

The LD5 engine block was offered for sale for the first time in 1978. The revisions required to make this unit street legal took a few years. Even though Buick has experimented with the 231 in early years, getting the power level right was essential. If you are searching for a cast iron LD5 engine for sale, you have found the best source here.

231 CID 3.8 Specs

The 231 in the part name refers to the size of the cubic inches. GM and other automakers use these numbers to entice consumers. Known for its performance and superior horsepower, the aptly named 3.8 or 3800 was something special. If you live in the state of California, you might know the LD5 as the LC6.

Changes were made in the 1980s that affected the performance of the block. It was renamed to the LC2 where it began a new life span. This edition was turbocharged. The same 90-degree design was kept although the horsepower was improved.

Even with a preowned model, the top speed is between 235 hp and 276 hp. There are a number of Buick vehicles that have laid claim to the fact that they best represented the LD5 V6 block.
