i got my 2000 prix in February... 1 week later the engine blew..replaced it beginning of march..now i have oil in my anti freeze, and the "low coolant" light keeps flashing at me.. it could be a head gasket, main cylider head, etc. it is less expensive around here to get a whole engine than just the heads,seals,gaskets,etc.. so i want to do an engine swap and turn my SE to a GTP. i need to know what all i need to swap? tranny, computer,?? thanks for any help you can give me

You will need a whole new engine. The GTP engine is a 3800 (3.8 L) while yours is a 3100. You will also need the new PCM, most likely need a new tranny and probably new wiring harness. Plus, the SE axles will not be as strong as the GTP ones so they could easily break.

You might hae better luck just trying to find a decent shaped GTP. They can be had for about 3k nowadays.

thats kind of what i figured...i guess i just will get another 3.1 and hope for the best.. should've known better when i found this car on vehix.com and it said it was a GTP and then travelled 75 miles there and saw it wasn't. but i liked the car and how smooth it was...100 miles later, it was dead

Yup...that's how they get ya...thick azz oil and you can't hear any sort of sounds...
3100's are pretty easy to come by...if need be...

you could always grab a 3100 block and cobble together an assortment of 3400/3500 heads/lim/uim/tb for some power gains
