shift?

It should bolt right in and run fine as there was no big chages in
engine or its controls.

I would agree - but in 99 I believe there WERE sizeable changes made. They
made the change to the roller-valvetrain narrower head in '99, but not for
the entire year if I recall correctly. This could be made to work in a '98,
but it would require a lot of the '99's accessories which are different
(exhaust manifold, intake manifold, throttle body, air intake system, etc).

THis would be easy to confirm with a visual too.
