There's the factor of return vs returnless fuel systems to consider. A 2000 is definitely returnless, and your 98 is definitely return-style. They are not interchangeable. You will need to keep your fuel rail, FPR, and injectors.
Otherwise, it should swap over with no trouble.

and keep all the wiring and sensors from your car

Couldnt you just swap the short block and not have to worry about any of that though?

But if you buy a built long block, no point in redoing all the timing components, new head bolt set, etc.

True...I suppose a longblock would be the way to go.

Yea because swapping the rail takes more then 20 minutes.
Not sure I get your point... he did say "unmodified" in his original post. Which it will not. 20 minutes or 20 hours, that is a modification.

Is he not going to have to plug the injector harness that came with his car in? The swapper will have to have the UIM off anyways.
