Yep. In the definate column you have engine, trans, harness, and computer. In the probably column you have fuel pump, fuel lines (unless you make custom lines) and subframe (unless you want to make your own motor mounts).

What I'm seeing is that you currently have the OBD1 computer. I may be wrong (and probably are) but all L67 3.8 SC engines are series 2 engines (OBD2). You might as well think of it as your trying to put that engine in a Model T, youll need the same parts & pieces. Dont feel bad. I bought a clean 92 Grand Prix with the intention of swapping a L67 into it. That put me in the same "OBD" boat your in!

Can we post only one thread to answer the 88 to newer L67 swap questions?
Serach on Frankenbonne This should give you more information than you can handle at first. It'* the entire story of Randmans 90 SSE LN3 becoming one mean Supercharged 97 L67

Yes, Randman1'* posts would be good ones to read through. There is a lot involved, but it can be done if you have your mind set on it.

One important note: In 97, the fuel sending units have a different operating resistance for the fuel gauge. Rather than 0 ohms empty and 90 ohms full, the 97 sender uses 40 ohms empty and 250 ohms full. Make sure to plan a sender change if using a 97+. I still have the 97 sender in the car and allowed me to run out of gas during NEBF I have a new one for a 94 just waiting to go in.
