will this fit as i have the 98 engine as mine is f@#%&ked any help greatly apriciated

I wouldn't bother as the MY1998 will have 115bhp and that's less that the engine that was already in it - a 2.5 ltr legacy engine is a popular upgrade though - it would have to be from a MY2000 and not a 2001 as the loom may need to be swapped over as well.

Hope it helps.

Swapping the cylinder heads over would be the easiest option - then all your original wiring harness and inlet manifold will fit the '98 engine.

In most cases, water ingress into the cylinders will bend a con-rod or damage a piston.

If it was my engine, I would pull the old heads off and check the condition of the valves and chambers - you can pour paraffin down the inlet and exhaust ports to see if the valves are sealing and take it from there.
