I have a 1996 3.8 (5 speed) with some internal engine issues. I found a 2002 3.8Camarowith 47K
I am getting the engine complete. It is my understanding the the only thing I have to change is the throttle body a cable linkage. Has anyone done this upgrade? Can i really use all the 2002 sensors and accessories/brackets with my computer system?

Another question. I am told the exhaust manifold are better flowing the my stock 96. Will my Y pipe fit? if not can I get the Y-pipe off the 2002 and use my converterback system?

Thanks

 

From what I understand, the intake manifolds are different as well (newer one is straight, where the older one is angled). The exhaust manifolds are better, and should fit the stock y-pipe. If for some reason it doesn't you can use the y-pipe from the other car, but you would need to install an O2 bung before the cat. Other than that, I can't think of any sensors that would be different between the two systems.
