I have a 2000 gtp with the series 2 engine and it just spun a rod bearing. My question is.....Would a series 3 engine bolt right up and is there any problems with computers and what not? Any help would be appreciated
series 3 motors are drive by wire , the supercharger and stuff on the top around the s/c are different
the motor would bolt in , im not sure what else if anything changed for the electronics , like crank posistion sensor X count

Yeah, just rebuild the living piss out of your blown setup.
1989 Z24 Convertible - Dust Covered
2006 tC - Dust Covered, but driven more
quicker to swap motors , than rebuild it
LOL

but series II's are cheaper and just as potent. yeah, you get the gen V blower with the series III, but a ported gen III blower is almost as good, at a fraction the price. go to www.clubgp.com and search for ed morad. find his web adress, and request he look for a series II engine for you. i promise you cant go wrong with ed. he's great and will do you well

Money on a engine would make a nice down payment on new car.....

downpayment being the key word.... but why start a new loan when $1K gets you a perfectly working car that you dont owe on

Well, I doubt it would be only $1k, but I don't know but..
... it would have a 100k warranty
....7 less years on it's chassis, less time on other compenants: brakes, hoses, etc
... XXXk less miles on the odo
....Wouldn't be dealing with any bugs that would arise from switching engines,
....Could be buying a better car
....Less hassle, esp. if this is his daily driver.
