Thanks :-) Always nice to hear nice comments!

As for the block changes... As far as I know, the crank bearing from a 95-96 did not fit a 98 420A motor. So I walked back into MOPAR and sure enough there were different part numbers to order! Unfortunately, size-wise I couldn't compare the bearing packages, but the 97-99 ones looked pretty much the same "design-wise". However they cost about $30 more that the 95-96 ones...

The guy working the parts at my local Chrysler confirmed that there was a design change between 95-96 & and 97-99 for the Crankshaft bearing only.. the rod bearings still had the same part numbers.

I actually stubled across this random fact because my car is slowly becoming a little bastard child, since it's an early '95, and I am sticking in it a '98 420A out of an automatic Avenger (that was STOCK and had spun a rod bearing).
