Welcome aboard ShelbyZ......... I'm not on here enough, didn't even notice till this morning we had a new member to the site, let alone near by. Got the fuel filter changed on the 01, put fresh gas in, and a bottle of injector cleaner. Didn't do much for it, still missing. Gonna get the plugs and change them out. The have about 75k on them. Hope everybody's doen well.

It should work but you will need a tranny cooler.
Working on lee's engine to night. This thing is WOW clean. We decided not to change the timing chain or the oil pump. Looks like a fresh rebuild. also no broken Water pump bolts.
