also it shouldnt matter if it were out of a regal either should it? if all i want is the engine.. its gonna be torn down and rebuilt anyways...

Don't get a 97. It is essentially the same short-block motor, but things are placed differently with it. Plus, I think the intake setups are different.

Try for a 99-02 motor. It doesnt matter if its out of a regal, GP, monte carlo or bonneville.

. i know some body panels were different with the 97 model year

don't know about that.

Get a 99+ engine. 97's were prone to heads cracking (I think earlyl 98's were too).
