I have a '94 Olds 88 w/ a great 3.8L engine and auto/trans. Will it go in a '97 Olds Cutlass Supreme (3.1L)? If so, how much trouble??

I beleive the trans might have a different bolt pattern but maybe not ,,but you will have to use your wireharness and computer from the 94,,probably best way is get under and investigate and look at trans and all but it should physically work O.K. just have to worry about the wireing and Puter,,maybe use your trans if it is different,,the newer one may have a 4T60E trans which is all electronic,,I dont think the 94 has the same set up but it may have,,check things like the vehicle speed sensor below the oil filter on the transmission,,the diff. might be there one will be a small sensor and the other will be a larger one that holds a governing assy in it instead of just a magnet type sensor.
