With mod motors most of the time it all bolts right back in how it came.

You may need to do some harness swapping or computer swapping though

i think all you have to change is your computer but i am not sure

Does anyone know where to find replacement motors or good deals on crate motors?

Its going to be a pain. I stayed with the 2v when I replaced b/c my mechanic said the labor alone would run through the roof, and be a pain in his butt

just google your motor and 4 or 5 create motor shops will pop up but if you do it's gonna cost ya big for mine it's 2,500 for a cobra it was 4,000 then you still need to but the computer for it and maybe a couple adapters to make it work i am not sure since i cant aford to do it but i have thought about it

Yea i know i may just look at a used motor from basic car parts.com ever heard of em? they refurbish motors. i have my cobra for a daily so not having the gt is ok. because i will have 1300 by the end of the month and want to get it done. if i sell the car as is i mean i threw a rod bearing so idk what else to do lol

do the swap. you wont regret it

I replaced my NPI motor with a 03 Pi motor. Its not that bad, theres a few things you need to swap over from your old motor and you will need to reflash the computer to compensate for the different air and fuel curves and timing of the PI motor. Once thats done you will be set, Im super happy with my PI motor, runs like a beast and is much quicker than my NPI turd.
