It would be interesting to see if your engine truly is a 3.2 or turns out to be, in actuality, a late 83 SC with CIS. I never heard of a Carrera motor blowing up on startup. CIS engines, on the other hand, do that on a regular basis due to cold start valve issues and Carreras don't since they don't have a cold start valve.
Might want to post some pictures to verify what we're dealing with. Hate to make too many assumptions based on mistaken identity and information.
