Interchange

[2seater]

Recently there was a question on the interchange of engine parts from one year to the next. I took a stroll through a local yard and found some things that may, or may not be of interest. I found aluminum "snakes" manifolds on a couple of 1990 Oldsmobiles? Plastic ones on '92's. Three individual coils on 1986 3.8 fwd cars, located in the "old" location on the top rear of the engine. One of the '92's with the plastic intake had the older "brick" style coils. The '90's with the aluminum snakes intake had the same style exhaust as the non-snakes. The snakes manifold would likely bolt on, but lots of things are in different locations: water outlet, EGR, fuel lines and regulator etc.. It looks like a lot of running changes may have been made over a period of several years.
