    i have a 97 gtp with a bad motor..im trying to find a good running 3.8 sc but everyone i find has 200,000 miles and they want 600$ for it..i was wondering if anyone has tried to use a regular 3.8 and switch stuff over from the sc motor..im guessing the compression would be different as sc motors usually run lower compression...help me out guys

    It's higher compression but you should be ok if you run headers with it and get it tuned.

    $600 is a decent deal on an L67.
