I have a 97 Monte Carlo with a blown motor. I have come across several
2000/2001 malibu's with the same 3100 motors on the cheap. I am not a novice but at the same time I am not looking to have to swap all the electronics or jerry rig the sensors. Is this a straight forward swap the the transmission and electronics. I understand there are some differences in the intake and exhaust manifolds. Can anyone elaborate on what these differences might be? Can I use the equipment off the malibu. I am being offered complete engines here, not blocks.Thanks in advance.
