| Do the NA & SC 3800 use the same cam? If not, can the SC cam be put in the NA motor? |

The link does not work. This one does.
I do not see a listing for Buick/Olds/Pontiac.

OK, there are no BOPs for them to grind cams for.
Why did you post the link?

Nothing new. Different name for a different car.
How does that explain why BOP is not listed on that site?

Makes sense. They wouldn't grind separate profiles for the Yank version, when Crane and Comp Cams already have cams for our Buicks.
I wonder why you would recommend a lesser product that would probably cost the OP twice as much.

| Crane or Comp do not offer a cam for series 1 engines and to my knowledge do not offer cams for series 2/3 engines as well they do however offer camshafts for the BUICK 231 v6 which is diffrent from the GM 3800 series v6's |

According to their websites, they do not. Doesn't mean they will not grind one for an engine builder. Terry at FCR should be able handle it.
There are still hundreds of cam grinders in the US. Cam Motion is another example of one that has a website.
