I'd go with a 2000 just for the older style dashboard ('01 flipped
the center vents and HVAC controls from '97-'00; I can't find
pictures in a quick search). I'd also go with the 5.9, but I like
torque more than spinning it fast, so that's a driving style and
personal preference thing. The 545RFE is a nice transmission though.
