N/A cars only.
All SC's where mass air,from 89 on.
There is a big difference from 89-90 to 91+ in the wiring,believe me i know.
That's why i ask what year.

how can you be sure the power train is balanced now?  Seems reasonable you decided to keep your old transmission.

You just pulled what i assume is an externally balanced engine and installed an internally balanced engine infront of what power train?

perhaps the motor needs to come out?  What the hell do i know about the 3.8 anyway,, : )

Bust it out in your driveway.  Send me questions.  I have both cars (SC and Coug) so maybe I can help. 

There is some help to be had at http://www.autozone.com under the Repair Manuals section.  They show most of the wiring diagrams for free online.

sorry if my previous post sounded off kilter,, but I was hoping you did not use the flywheel from the N/A 3.8.  The flywheel from the SC needs to stay with the SC engine.  I do not know if the SC flywheel has fitment issues to an older torque converter but it probably just slaps right on.
