Re: Engine Swap
Yes. I don't think there is anything different between the engines themselves. The sensors will be different.

Re: Engine Swap
I am in a similar situation. Will an older short block from either a 94 or 96 work in a 2000. I know that I will have to switch over all of the brackets and accessories which I am fine with. Some people are saying that I will have to fab a bracket to support the fuel rail, I do not see a hug issue trying to do this either. I am just not sure if the motor mounts and accessory brackets will work with the older casting?
You guys seem to know the most about this and I have spent hours searching with no true answer.
Thanks

Re: Engine Swap
Do the motor mounts and accessory brackets off the 92 work on the 97? Thanks.
