    Ok, i need to pick the brains of everyone here. I'm going to put an l26 into my 98 gt that currently has an l36.

    What I'm wondering is what are the differences as far as sensors or connectors, vacuum locations and connectors.

    I know that when i swap them i have to use the l36 plenum unless i buy the TB adapter then i can use the aluminum one.

    also does anyone know if there's any difference between a 98 gt trans and an 00/01 gt trans?

    L26 has EV style injector clips IIRC...it also has a returnless fuel system. TB/PCV/LIM are different as well...maybe not...never owned an N/A car.

    Also...'98-'02 GT transmissions are the same.
