To all wanting to do the 3.8 Turbo Swap...

I know where there is an 88 Le Sabre 3.8 motor for sale that has the heads you will need. Its about $500 I think for a complete motor that was still running when pulled.

------------------
89 Trans Am Turbo 3.8L All stock 43,000 miles #1053 of 1555

Past Thirdgen:
86 Trans Am w/ built 355TPI with SLP goodies and too much other stuff to List. One sweet *** car, wish I would have had a good enough Job to pay insurance on three cars so I could keep it, but for a 89 Turbo Trans Am w/ Low miles, I think I made the right choice!

DUH its a coomplete 3.8 with computer and everything. All you have to do is swap heads off what ever else onto it and you would have a good running 3.8 still to.
