I put pacesetters on my 96 3.8 v6.

It wasnt too hard.

You just need the usual sockets and extensions. Be careful taking the old manifolds off. Those bolts are prone to breaking.

You will NOT throw any codes if you have your EGR and O2's plugged in correctly.

As long as you have the o2 sensor bungs and the EGR hookup on the headers you can use them.

Actually i just remembered I put an o2 simulator on in place of the rear o2 sensor.

I dont remember it throwing codes before hand though.
