    Its very unlikely that all the cylinders will be that low...

    If you find 2 cylinders next to each other with low compression, its probly a cracked/warped head.

    If all the cylinders are below 40-50 psi then someone has taken the rings out of the engine...

    Before I pull the engine I am going to pull the rocker covers and check things out, then the heads. If it looks bad the engine will come out. Will do some 3.8 swap info at work tomorrow. The great thing is the car has 120k on it and is perfect condition except for how the interior smells like marijuana because the girl apparently like to smoke doobies every where she went.
