I have a 1989 Oldsmobile 98. The 3800 series 1 has a lifter problem.(loud ticking noise) and a miss. Plugs and wires changed and a new coil pack. Engine has over 189K on it. I think it is time to swap engines. Will the series II or series III fit? Where do I start?

Yes it will fit but you will have alot of misc stuff that needs to be done.

First off you will be going from OBD 1 to OBD 2

You will need to get the complete series 2 motor with the PCM and wiring harness.

There are some writeups in the library here or you should also look at L67swap.com
