i guess my question is why?....they are the same except the computer and even if its a built motor it would almost be easier to just take the internals and bore yours over and put them in your motor.....

No.

The # teeth on the trigger wheel is different. The <02 comp won't read 03 + trigger wheels. It'll freak out. You could probably change to an NGC comp, but that would be a step backwards.

If you just want a reliable car, sure. Do the NGC swap. If you want to play with it and actually be able to tune it later, stick with what you have.
