Other than the '80 4.1L V6 Buick, were there any other displacement or year non turbo V6 Buick engines that got the Q-jet from the factory?

I found in my manual there was the:
2.8L (173cid) from '80-'86
3.0L (181cid) from '82-'85
3.2L (198cid) from '62-'63 and '78-'79
3.7L (225cid) from '64-'67
3.8L (231cid) from '75-'86
4.1L (252cid) from '68-'84
Too many Rochester's to list.

I'm asking specifically about q-jet carbs, non turbo 3.8L applications. Do you show any?

Cobalt,
I guess your right. All the 3.8L Qjet's are for Turbo's. I find 2 barrels that are 3.8L non turbo, but that is it. As for the other carbs I listed above, they are all 2 barrels as well. Sorry for the confusion. Had to look in another one of my manuals, just to be sure. So I guess the 4.1L is the only one I can find that is non turbo with a Qjet. I did find a 3.8L that is Closed Loop. Whatever that means. Again, sorry for the confusion on my part. :)

No worries, my good man! Your help is appreciated. I think we're in agreement- all I could come up w/was the 4.1L V6, and no 3.8L NA w/Q-jet.
I'm 'fishing' for a plug and play deal for my lowly 229 cid Chevy V6 (3/4 of a 305 :-[) in my '80 Malibu wagon. Everyone says (w/good reason) "swap in a 350!" and I could do that in a heartbeat. But the wagon is great the way it is, except it needs a Q-jet IMHO. I've had this thing forever, it had like 15K miles when I bought it. The engine is fresh- it's from a Camaro that I had rebuilt for a customer who traded it back to me on another deal, so it went into the wagon to replace the original engine that had washed/worn out cylinders and rings from when a family member used it for a month w/a sunken float. :'(

Yeah, all I can find is ones for Turbo's.:(
