96-97 are the most effecient years, 98 was kind of a mid year and didn't have the benefit of the 99+ interior styling and did not have the shift light indicator.
I have heard the 99-00 models had issues with the engine harness being pinched and causing ecu issues.
I have documented both of my hx purchases and builds, for more info please click my user name and see my threads created by users
