Re: PP III and 3.8L motor

Would this motor fit on a 1999? Or would I have to mess with ECU?

Re: PP III and 3.8L motor

this comes with the computer and the complete wiring harness, so to answer your question, it will work in any 98-02 F body without any real modifications. it does not have a transmission though. The motor is in great shape though and comes with alternator, AC compressor, pulleys, pcm, i even have the crossmember with the motormounts... so if you would like to try putting it another vehicle you could weld the crossmember in as well.

Re: PP III and 3.8L motor

the Hyper tech changes shift points, rev limits, allows change for tire height, rear gear changes, things of that nature.

Re: PP III and 3.8L motor

i have been told it will work on other F body 3.8L, however if you have a 97 you should have a 3.4L unless you are an exception in that maybe you swapped or something?

Re: PP III and 3.8L motor

The HPPIII will not work for the '97 although the '97 came with the 3.8 V6 the computer is incompatible to be programmed with the HPPIII.

Some of the 97s came with a 3.8 stock. So you should be fine.

you're thinking of 95. 95 was the switching year in which they changed form the 3.4 to the 3.8, from then on, they were all 3.8 motors. As for if the programmer will work, I'm not too sure. I believe 97RS4Life has one for his 97 Camaro, but I'm not too sure if it's this model or not. HyperTech claims it's for 00-02 years only, however, the only change in the engine then was drive-by-wire instead of cable, so, IMO, it should work the same. But, I'd check with 97RS4Life and see which one it is he has. I know a few others on here have them too, but only his name comes to mind.

There isn't a 97 fbody with a 3.4l engine. The ONLY year that had two V6 engines were 1995, 3.4l to start the year, then a mid year switch to the 3.8l with OBDII PCM availiable as a Cali car. Since mid 1995-beginning of 1996, ALL V6 fbodies were equipped with a 3800 Series II engine.

HPPII will not work on a 1997 car, because of a different programming on the PCM. It will only work on the cars specified. Just because the PCM's are the same physically and electrically doesnt mean the software is compatible between all the years.
