i have a 2000 LS and Looking into a jdm b18c gsr swap, is it really necessary to get the same year motor as my car, or should i just save my self the trouble of an obd 1 swap and just get the motor between the years 94-96.

Also if any1 knows of any reliable shops in socal that distribute JDM motors (besides i4), plz list a site or number, thx alot.

 

um.. yeah you def. do not have to put in the same year motor as the chassis i have the obd1 jdm b18c in my '98.. i have it all wired to a jdm obd2 ecu to pass inspection (but now that i work at dmv i'm getting a chipped p28 asap). try passwordjdm.com.. i don't know about in socal cuz i'm on the east coast.
