Thread: opinions? I dont know what direction to go if my car doesnt sell

okay so right now I have my gtp (1997 2 door w/161,000miles) up for sale on craigslist and here,but if it doesnt sell in a couple months i want to rebuild it and continue driving it. The motor is pretty much junk,I know for sure that the piston in cylinder one is destroyed and based on what i saw in cylinder one(I used a bore scope to look inside the cylinder),I am guessing that the rest of the pistons are either junk or really close to junk,so since i dont know how much damage is actually done and how expensive replacement parts are for these cars my question is would it be better to just buy a used motor and throw that one in or would it be better to just rebuild the motor in the car???? I'm not sure which way to go.

buy a used motor...

I'll sell you mine for $300 if I can pull the sc off.

ds would my 97 pcm work with a 98 motor?

Yeah it'll work fine.

alright cause i remember reading something somewhere about stuff from the 98's not working on any other year of car

If you are swapping wiring harnesses then that's when you run into problems.

ahhhh okay,I dont need to do any electrical stuff to the car as of now lol

I was under the impression 97 was the odd ball year not 98

It is.

But going backwards is what would screw it up.
