I bought a 98 RS 3.8 where the previous owner already took out the engine and transmission. I put in an engine from a 2008 buick lucerne and have everything back under the car and the subframe bolted up.

I have had to piece this back together b/c the previous owner threw ALL the bolts in a box, so I am lost as to what goes where.

The engine, trans and harness is back in the car, I just think that I am forgetting something on reassemble. Other than the engine back in and trans support bracket bolted up, what else needs to be done?

I have already hooked up the following: steering shaft, fuel and evap hoses, brake lines, throttle and cruise control cable, heater hoses, sway bar, ABS sensor, exhaust pipe, drive shaft, all the connectors to the trans and exhaust.

All I have left is the torque arm bracket and there is 2 ground connectors near the left frame rail, radiator, condenser, cooling fans and battery cables.

Can you guys think of anything else that I am forgetting before I start this up within the next day or so?

 

Starter if not already taken care of.
