Exclamation help need guidence

as some of of you know i wrecked my car. so im going to transfer all the parts from my 90 to my 88 (wireing,drivetrain,suspenson,interior,etc)but the motor in the 90 has 200k on it and the 88motor has 114k on it but it is seized up. what i want to do is rip apart both motors and use the oil seals and side seals from the 88 motor aand transfer them to the 90 motor. but the problem is i dont know if i can reuse all the origional seals from eather motor and i cand aford a rebuild kit.
so is ther a seal and gasket kit that i can find within a couple of days that is in the range of $100 to $200

any help would be great, thanks

Don't bump your topic after half an hour.

It's a pain in the *** to move from S5 to S4 or vice versa.

The only way you can tell if you need to replace seals is to measure, but you should always assume "yes". I wouldn't recommend transferring seals between engines.

Face it, you'll have a VERY hard time doing a rebuild for under $600. Even that is a stretch.

Hey *** person... get a clue. not everyone spends their whole life waiting for you to post so they can answer.

You better not bump this (or any) thread again unless 24 hours have gone by and there is no reply or it will be closed ASAP.

And you need to replace the seals, not try and reuse them, and the 88 suspension is better than a 89-91 suspension so changing that would be a waste of time.
