Diffrences of engine 1998 to 2002
Hi i have problem with my 2002 c5 with the engine and the transmission.I buy a crashed 1998 but i don't know if they engine is exactly same.Because i know the 98 is 345 hp and 02 350hp.Is from the ecu or is from camshafts etc...If is from the ecu i will keep my electricals.The trasmissions are same?Thanks!!!

if it's a 6 speed the trans isn't the same, the heads aren't the same, the cam is different, the injectors are different, the intake is different, the block is different (a little), the rod bolts are different, the piston rings are different, ecu isn't the same, but the later ecu could probably run the 98 with the appropriate injectors.
with that said you could probably swap things from one engine to the other and it would be very close to the same. I wouldn't worry about the rings or block differences except the rod bolts on the 98 which don't like to be spun past 6600 rpms or so.
