    Hey guys, I'm about to swap out my 2002 gtp engine for a 1998 engine. Is there any differences in these 2? the original engine started smoking a cloud of White smoke and the body has 140k on it, found a 98 gtp engine complete minus alternator and a/c with 82K miles on it. Did notice oil pan was dented on the 98 but i already got the gaskets and will swap the 02 oil pan over...But the real question is if i need to swap anything else from the 02 engine or vise versa. thanks for your input

    I bet the LIM gasket blew out on you first motor. Thats an easy fix.

    But as for the motor, It should be a direct swap.

    I was going to start to remove engine tomorrow. I will first remove the LIM and check it doesn't hurt and if its good i'm going to go ahead with removal.
