If the 2001 was originally from behind a 3.8 yes otherwise no lots of differences.

Ok no a 3.8 in 83 would have same bell as a V8 bop pattern so no wont work with any 4l60e at all unless of course its a chevy 3.8 but still would only fit a v8 4l60e , When you same 3.8 I assumed a late model .

No and No.

Also for 1983...
You would be talking about the Original Buick 3.8L Engine (Essentially a Buick Small Block V8 with 2 Cylinders removed) NOT the GM/ Buick Corporate 3800 Engine.
Different Engines and different Bell-Housing Patterns.

Ever wonder where Chevrolet got the idea for the 4.3L V6?
