Simple economics....the cars brought the owners more $$$$ from the govt. program than they thought they could get from a traditional sale/trade. The good part is while they grenaded the motors, all the other parts are available to the scavengers of the bone yards for thier pickings before the skeletons are crushed and reused to make new consumer goods.

they used to put small block chevys in the older jags.

wonder if a Grand National Buick 3800 V6 turbo would fit in the Biturbo??

We had a junker Grand Natioanl sitting at T3 for 10 months looking for a buyer the 3 previous owners had literally trashed every single component with incompent mechanics...........it occasionally ran on 4 cylinders.

Based on what I saw the 3.8T would not be my choice in an engine.

Don't confuse the non turbo 3800 with the 3.8T engine they are very very different even though displacements are equal.

Yeah... I guess "Command and Control" is a form of economics too...

"command and control" ???? Individual owners Personal Choice in how to sell/dispose of their old unwanted vehicle wasnt it???? 90% of the cars traded were old American relics like Ford Explorers and Taurus....

I spent a few Sundays{dealers closed} looking through their back lots where hundreds of traded in clunkers were marked on their windshields"CFC program"......what a pile of junk most were,dented,rusted,worn interiors,tired old clunkers past their prime- hopefully many benefit by having tons of parts inventory unloaded on the salvage yards.
