    I have a 08 GXP with a blown motor. Do I need to put a 07 - 08 motor in there or can I put the previous years in as well?

    If you swap to a lower year, you'll also need to swap the engine wiring harness. The harnesses are different in ever year of the GXP. Otherwise, you should have no issues.

    I believe the reluctor wheel was changed to 52 teeth in 2007. Therfore the ecu and wiring are different.
