that's what i was thinking. i thought that i'd have to tune the computer or buy a new ECU and stuff. well, that's awesome. so why don't people buy slightly used 99+ motors instead of doing the PI swap? it seems a lot cheaper. don't know about the installation, if you're gonna pay for it.
anyway, so all the engine parts, bolt-ons, and superchargers/turbos are going to be for a 99-04? |

no idea here either. you can probably find an engine on Ebay for fairly cheap and then do the install. i've found a couple for a grand or less

if i could find a pi motor for 700 i would buy it. but i think people go ahead and do the swap because with the swap they usually put down higher numbers then with just the stock motor (compression bump ofcourse, but its the difference of 225-230 vs 240-245 to the wheels). anyways, congrats, and i believe it drops right in...
