You can actually use the older '96-'97 blocks too, just need to modify the trans bolt pattern by drilling and tapping a hole as well as some slight cutting to clear the starter position with out MTX. Someone on here actually did that I think... I don't remember who it was though... Not quite as easy as the newer '98-'99 blocks, but you can do it.
