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:th_scratchhead:
 


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.
 
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 :(
