ccrinc Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Ummm, not exactly. :-\ The '99 has an 8 bolt belt housing and rear thrust, the '98 has a 4 bolt bell housing and center thrust. IIRC, you can put the newer EJ25 DOHC engines into the older cars, but not the other way around. Emily http://www.ccrengines.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 you can put the newer EJ25 DOHC engines into the older cars so a 99 into a 98 should work......right? thanks for the replies guys Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
