too bad the motor in the 01 isnt a BP.... still impressive though.
since we are talking about high miles... my friend rolled over 300k on a saturn SL1 and a couple thousand later the diff pin let go taking out the whole transmission case... he junked it.

yep the later ones were similar, but not the same. the displacement is slightly different even... its not 1839cc like the BP. those later engines were made in korea.
