Not that I'm likely to ever actually get around to doing an engine swap but I looked into the 3800SC also and gave up on it when I found out how far forward you'd have to set it to clear the intake ducting. Way to go on adapting the other SC. Might I inquire as to how much the motor and new SC are setting you back (Send in E-mail if necessary)??? From what I've seen the Ford Turbo SC can be had for a reasonable amount of $$$ for a complete car, they're intercooled from the factory and make around 315ft/lbs @ 2700 and 21(?)hp @ 4000. I know they had problems with the factory head gaskets on those motors, I was wondering if there were other reasons you went with the Buick instead of the Ford???
