Default On Center bore spacing: what exactly does it mean?

Ok, I know when they changed from the 3.8L to the 3800, that there was a redesign. Different electronics, different type of balancer with more "ridges" for the crank sensor, etc.

One thing I'm wondering is the whole idea of "on center bore spacing" . . I figure (obviously) that it has something to do with where the bores are located in the block.

Other than that, I don't know.

So, what exactly does it mean, compared to the older 3.8L design?

Also, what other differences result? I assume that crankshafts have to be different. How about other hard parts? Cams non interchangeable? Heads/intake?

Just wondering...
