        i would love to buy your 3.8, but you my friend, are very far away.

        i wouldnt think the swap would be harder than a ny other v8 swap....

          Sound like a head gasket alright.

          What kind of life did the TA had? Did you race it alot?

          Good luck. Hope everything works out for you.

              It just plain overheated. You had the throttle down too hard probably. Chances are it was in the process of going out - your throttling just made it go out faster, lol. Hope you get it fixed though.

                  Its just a thought but you could try it since the motor wont turn over. If the head gasket blew one or more of the cylinders could be hydrolocked coolant, taking the spark plugs out will let you know if thats whats keeping the motor from turning over and allow you to turn it over. I dunno its just a thought.
