A knocking engine in your 1990 Olds 88 could be due to several issues, such as low oil levels or poor oil quality, which can lead to insufficient lubrication. It might also indicate problems with the engine's bearings, piston slap, or even pre-ignition caused by using the wrong fuel type. Additionally, a failing timing chain or belt can cause knocking sounds. It's important to diagnose the problem promptly to avoid further damage.

The transmission from a 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera with a 3.3L engine is not directly compatible with a 1990 Oldsmobile 88 that has a 3.8L engine. The two vehicles likely have different transmission designs and mounting points, as well as potentially different electronic control systems. It's best to consult a detailed compatibility guide or a professional mechanic for specific advice on interchangeability and potential modifications needed for a successful swap.
