Thanks For The Help.... caddydaddy 11-28-2007, 07:59 PM You will need to replace your engine with a L37 or VIN 9 engine. And it must be from a 1996-1999 car. So your choices are an ETC, STS or Deville Concours from those years. What is wrong with the current engine? 96DEVILLE 11-29-2007, 02:56 PM my car runs hot. i changed water pump,hoses, belt, cooling fan turn on and seem strong. then when i turn car off it over flows...this car has a temp. gage the needle goes from norm. to just before the red then goes back to norm..bafore this problem needle stayed at norm. and never moved... thanks for help caddydaddy 11-29-2007, 04:46 PM Have you checked for a blown headgasket? NAPA sells a coolant test kit that checks for hydrocarbons in the cooling system. It's around $50. If it is a blown head gasket, have you considered fixing it, instead of replacing the engine? Also, GM now sells rebuilt Northstars. DFBonnett 12-01-2007, 09:31 AM Have you ever replaced the thermostat? 96DEVILLE 12-01-2007, 12:58 PM Have you checked for a blown headgasket?
