The internals are the same on them. But DON'T USE THE ELECTRONICS ON THAT MOTOR. Every year from 96-2000 used a different set of coil packs. If you have a 500ohm set of coil packs, and you plug the new motor in, and it has 450ohm, you'll fry your computer. You can use the motor, but change out the sensors from the old motor, and the ignition coil packs.
