I bought a used engine for my car. The problem is it isn't the year engine he told me it was.

After I got the engine home and looked at it next to mine I noticed differences. Looks like it has a kick down cable on tranny was 1.I looked at pics online and looks identical to a 90 parkavenue 3.8 engine. Could I swap intake manifolds and use it, or don't they interchange,
Thanks

I have info that says your engine in your riveria for that car will work for 1995-1997 the park ave 1995-1997 so a 1990 park ave says it wont work. Atleast according to my info thats a long block with no intake or exhaust manifolds.
