I don't mean to offend, but it seems as many new members who register here ask questions that do not pertain in any way to a thirdgen f-body

what would make someone assume that they would get an answer about their (insert car here) from a bunch of f-body guys

i can understand other generations of f-body owners or people who just love thirdgen who don't'necessarily own one registering and posting but to register just to post a question seems strange to me

sorry i forgot to respond to the question at hand

you will most likely need a poncho fuel pump and motor mounts will either have to be made or cross referenced to fit

the trans may fit if it is the BOP version of the 2004R

you will have to go trial and error on fans and water pumps and shrouds to get the right spacing from the radiatior unless you use and electric fan

air conditioning may pose another issue in it's self unless you go without (my thirdgen is the first car i've ever owned with AC)
