I am swapping an 1989 dynasty 3.0 for a 98 plymouth 3.0I know I need to swap the intake, distributor, alternator bracket, and rear exhaust manifold.
being unfamiliar with later model vehicles, my questions are
1. There is a sensor in the soft plug on the 98, and none on the 89------how do I make the switch????
2. Is there anything else I need to do to make this swap work???

This just isn't going to work. The newer engine works entirely differently and won't accommodate the necessary components for it to run. It's not legal either to install this motor.

I live in Ohio so there is nothing ilegal about the swap. Also by the time i swap everything off the old engine (98) I basicaly have a 3.0 block and heads with all the 98 electronics and sensors I don,t see any difference in the basic engine????

Last I knew, Ohio was still part of the US and that makes it illegal to tamper with an emissions certified vehicle.

But if I pay 500 bucks to the ASE certified mech at the corner to do the swap then it's legal ?? That being the case what the heck is that ASE certification???

ASE certification has nothing to do with it. Swapping an 89 block for a 98 would be considered emissions tampering because the 98 is emissions certified and can't be legally modified. Those blocks are 9 years apart. they aren't going to match up.

thanks for your help---guess I'll figure it out myself And just for the record--------98 minus 89 equals 9 not 15

Hammer is completely correct in both ways in the united states i'm pretty sure it's a federal law your breaking by tampering with emission controls. As well as trying to put any of the electronic parts on the old motor would be pointless you would have to change the wiring harness and computer just to accommodate the functions of the sensors. Your doing a lot of work for nothing. Why are you so hell bent on doing this swap?
