my buddy just got this 1997 z24 and the engine is effed...it came with an engine out of an 01 z....now it is my job to put it in, and i know i might have a couple of difficulties..this is my first engine swap, and i just need a few pointers.

1. EGR valve...will i just be able to take off the the EGR valve from the 97 engine and put it on the 00 engine? along with the intake manifold...

2. Knock sensor...can i just swap the knock sensor? i've never dealt with a knock sensor before and i honesly dont even know where it is.

please help me if u know what i can and cant do....i wanna have the engine out in a week or so, but havin an engine that isnt 100% compatable does me no good.....
thanks alot guys!

The 01 motor will go in the 97 (I have done this exact swap before). Use everything from the 97 Z (like injectors, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, EGR, knock sensor). Now with the knock sensor the holes are different sizes. The o1 motor has a smaller hole, it needs to be drilled out and tapped to the same size at the 97 knock sensor. I do not recall the size, but it is post on this site a few times. might need to do a search to find it.
