Difference in 98 Z and 00 Z ??
Tuesday, December 20, 2005 8:46 AM
Is there a big difference between these 2 different years as far as engine parts and so on?

I have a wrecked 98 and Im looking into buying a 2000 to have as a daily driver but I want to know if something goes wrong on the 00, can i yank it off the 98 and replace it on the 00.

2000+ have a different compression ratio, but the pistons would interchange
2000+ does not have an EGR (actually its 99+)
2000+ has a different header, but can use the 98 header with the 99+ gasket
2000+ has a different gauge cluster/wiring setup
2000+ has a different transmission
2000+ has different headlights/corner lights/front bumper, fenders/hood are the same
2000+ interior door panels are made of a different material (plastic)
2000+ has a different center console, but either one works
2000+ has a different dash bezel, the radio and HVAC are flipped around
2000+ has a different head than the 98, water jackets are different shapes

Thats some of the differences...

the mid 99 - 02 had high impedence injectors while the 96- mid 99 had the low impedence injectors.

Just make sure you use the mounting brackets from the same car for the center console. Otherwise it'll sit crooked.
