Are there any S-Series that have the GM L81 3.0L V6 Engine?

I am looking for a similar non L-series to pull parts from at the junk yard if at all possible.

Such as engine mounting bolts, etc.

Thanks!

The S-series never had a V-6 from the factory

The Saturn L81 or versions of appeared in the L series, the early VUE's, SAAB 9000 and the Cadillac Catera.

I believe there is exactly 1 S-Series with a V6 and there's nothing factory about it lol

If you find anything other than a 1.9L I4 under the hood it wasn't factory installed.

That 3.0L you're talking about would never fit in a S series and actually have the hood close.
