They will fit the 98s as long as they have the bolt on crank pulleys and any year as long as they have the bolt on water pump pulley. And the pumps will all interchange between years.

I don't post here very much anymore but I had to sign in and say that this thing is fricking cool. I love the build keep it up.

If you know how to degree a cam then do it. There are so many variables in todays manufacturing process especially between diffent suppliers. I will never install a cam without degreeing it, period. I refuse to leave anything on the table because of unknowns. If you don't know how to degree...

I also didn't mention heads or cams. And I never said he should write a check to a builder. I gave suggestions and asked for more info on his end goal. But I will keep my opinion to myself from now on. You guys keep building whatever it is you build. And I will keep any new info from this site.

Anybody got a core 5.9 short block anywhere from Columbia SC all the way up to Maryland near I-95 that they want to let go cheap? I am in SC until the 6th of next month then I head back up to Northern VA where I live. Let me know and we can possibly work out a deal. If not I will hit the pull...
