Guest alex_houston Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I need knowledge by tommorow morning. The local police auction is in the morning and they have several '89 Olds, Buicks and Pontiacs with the 3.8 engines. I can probably get these cars for little to nothing. I may need a replacement 3.8 for my '90 Reatta due to dropping of oil pressure issue but I question if the 89s will work without problems. Does anyone know?Thanks for a quick reply.

2seater Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 The engines from '88-'90 should be interchangeable. I know the camshaft lift and duration between an '88 and '90, I have tested them, but it doesn't matter in the operating system itself. They should interchange without problem.
