2.6 engine history

[Andrew Bell]

Hi everyone, 

Looking for some help and advice please.  I have a 1997 Cabriolet 2.6 which looks to be needing an engine swap.  I'm looking for a donor engine and can't find any information on whether or not there were any differences between the 93-96 and 97 onwards v6 lumps and if there is a difference  in the block between manual and automatic transmission.  My guess would be that they're all identical and it's just ancillaries, etc that change but before I part with any cash I was hoping to get a little better educated.

Cheers
