I'm thinking about picking up a 1990 SC with the manual trans. Seller is local and says the #2 injector went bad, causing it to run lean and now has damage to the piston and cylinder wall. The car is supposed to be fairly straight, and he wants like $500 for it although I could probably pick it up cheaper.
Knowing nothing about SCs, I really don't know what I am getting into here. I've had DSMs for about 4 years now, and although I love them, I've always wanted something RWD with forced induction, and this seems like a fairly cheap way to do it. How much of a money pit is this car going to be? I'm assuming at least a grand to get the motor rebuilt, but beyond that I don't really know, and I hate to go into these things blind. Are all the 3.8s interchangeable? Like if I just picked up a longblock from another SC that was a 94 or 95, would it be a direct swap? If one of you guys could, just help me out a bit here with some info on these cars, thanks.
