Subject: 88-90 reman 3.9 into 1998?
IP: Logged

Message:
I can get a good deal on a reman 3.9 long block for an 88-90, but I have a 98. I live in Phoenix so this thing has to pass smog. Obvious question is will my intake, exhaust, etc... fit and pass smog, and if not why? Thanks

you,ll need your heads,intake,tb,pushrods,valve covers and maybe lifters from the 98 motor,
and you,ll have to fab a crank sensor bracket for the back[pass.side]of motor,theres no mounting holes on the 88-91 blocks

98 intake bolts on straight down to the heads and the rockers get their oil thru the pushrods,

88-91 intake bolts on at a 90 degree angle to the heads and get their oil thru the block, to heads, to the rocker shafts

if you can get a short block then you can just change things over as stated above,other then these things the blocks are basicly the same,
in other words its very do-able

if the price is real good go for it
