What does it take to swap a 3.8 Supercoupe engine in?

Mike Johnson · June 19th, 2008, 11:13 PM

So today I was leaving work. I was in the parking lot there and my car was running a little rough. I turned out of the parking lot and saw a huge cloud of white smoke and smelled antifreeze. I blew a head gasket.

Anyways, I can get a complete 3.8 supercharged engine for $300 that runs with 66,XXX miles on it. It is complete everything is there. What does it take to put it in my 97?

yeah talk with v6sprout. there will be things you will still need to modify, but it shouldnt be too bad... doing a full engine swap is easier than just doing the m90 swap... roadhawg here might know some stuff as well he has the magnum powers m90
