I purchased this "NOS" short block. Waiting on Ralph to respond to a few questions about this "New" old thing...

Jerry, any chance for your friend to take some detailed pictures of it for future reference? Would be great to have some really good (and as many as possible) photos for us all to reference for future needs.

the sG1 is tta specific block that come only on the 1989 turbo trans am

 

[Jan Larsson]

Not true ... the SG1 is the same identical block however the SG1 only means it was casted on the at the Saginaw foundry line 1 ... so at some point after 1987 they did this change for whatever reason. At that time they did not even know the TTA's were going to be built.

yes you are right it is the same identical block motor but the SG1 block motor was a left over replacement motor for the buick and then for some reason they installed it on the TTA .

They were not "left overs" they were casted and then machined (luckily they still had one line open to do this as all other lines had already been converted for the 3800 engine blocks a couple of years earlier) for the purpose of the TTA engines built (however SG1 got nothing to do with that); casting dates on the blocks are late 88 or early 89.
