    trans line hookups will be different... injector connectors will be different.... you will need to put a ~01 gtp pcm in it.

    Scott...why would he need an 01 pcm? TCC strategy?

    Trans lines, yes.
    he could definately put the 97 TB on it.
    He should be able to reuse his injectors from the 97
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Should they not both be minitimer connectors?

    You should use the TB for the PCM you use.

    If you put this stuff into a 97 shell with 97 wiring. You need to use the 97 pcm .

    both are, your going to need the wire harness off the 97 and its pcm it seems. and the trans lines. thats how im reading it.
