Rebuild or 3800 swap? i can get a 3800 SC with computer and wiring harness for $100. How hard is the install? mainly wiring? can i use my factory harness and computer, maybe have ta swap a few sensors to do so, can i use my starter?

What car are you putting it in? What year is it out of?

It could be done but your car is obd1 so you'll have to redo a lot of wiring.

You would need to do some wiring. IIRC I heard that a Monte wiring harness works best. IIRC Z34Phoenix recently did this type of swap and said it was pretty easy. Check out his thread.

But his was already obd2 wasn't it?
