Well lets cross our fingers thats not the case, but I believe most of the engines one would pick up from a salvage yard are from good running cars that have had collision damage and they end up parting out the rest of the car and box up the engine in a crate and put it on a shelf. Then again, any engine you buy that your not familiar with is,"like a box of chocolates..."

However, I am very curious if a 99' engine will work in my 98' and if so are there any mods or changes which must be made at all??
I also noticed that for the 98' year model there are pre and post August production dates, which apparently have differences??

Anyone?

Thanks
