    Hi Guys. I'm looking to buy a motor for my 2005 Grand Prix GT 3.8L v6 VIN 2. I've called local salvage yards and they tell me that a 2006 is not a listing for a replacement engine, and I can not understand why this is? Is there some things you have to change on the 2006 engine to make it compatable in my 2005 car. I'll also include a search engine for engines I found online and if u use the vin2 option for a 2005 then a 2006 they come up with different listings as well......any advice would be greatly appreciated as the 2006 motor i found has the lowest mileage.

    Some of the sensors in the block are different. You would have to swap sensors around but it will work.

    I know for sure the knock sensors are different. 06 was the year they switched to can bus or whatever iirc.
