From: North Carolina or Kentucky. Take your pick
First off, is it the same year? Several little changes were made. the biggest was delete the crank sensor in 2001 as I remember.
All HO's were manual trans equiped. So the PCM from your SO auto must stay. There have been reports of conflict when using a SO pump in a HO ECM not working. The HO pump may work (????) with a SO ECM, so you may be O'K there. And you have both ECM's and both a HO and SO pump at this time. You should be able to get her to run correct, unless different years mess with you. No warranty implied.
