You should get that engine as fast as possible. Use your harness, computer, etc. You don't need the '01 computer. Only difference is the coolant sensors. On '96-98 engines there is one sensor on the drivers side (gauge) and one on the passenger side (computer). You will have to relocate the drivers side sensor due to the newer engine's intake having only one sensor location. That is on the passenger side. You can either rig a "T" fitting at that location and plumb both sensors in there or relocate the gauge sensor into the block. There is a coolant plug under the drivers side header towards the front of the block. Install the sensor there, then cut the harness wires, and splice in a section to extend them down to where you can plug in the harness. Quick and easy way to pick up power in the older mod cars.
