Its a 4 door with automatic trans. I need another motor. Im being told by scrap yard that I need a 96-98 motor. Cant use a 2000 motor??? why??? Is it because of the sensors. If im just changing motor or is it because where vacuum and electronics hook up??? Is there a chart that show what can be swapped???

 

'96 through '98 would be a straight forward swap. '99 through '02 would be the next option. They have the secondary air system, so you would need to transfer and re-use certain parts from your '97. You can also use '03 through '05. No secondary air system to deal with, but those would require transferring the camshaft, lifters, pushrods, and intake manifold.

 

Is there a thread on this subject??? 99-02???? Transfer N reuse which???? Thanks CH

 

Not that I am aware of. What information are you looking for?

 

whats involved in the secondary air system that needs to be changed over. I have access to a 99 motor.

 

Exhaust manifolds for sure, and possibly some other "plumbing". When you get into it, you'll see what needs to be changed over.

 

Fair enough!!!!!!
