2003 loom won't plug into the car as they are 3 plug ecu's and have different chassis connections. no welding needed to fit the engine in though

but how are you going to connect a 2003 loom to a 97 shell? the connection is completely different,would think getting a single plug loom,ecu etc would be easier then cutting and splicing wires in

if you car is a 97 you will need a single plug loom and ecu much cheaper and easyer then cutting into both looms to get it to work. + the single plug ecu`s are alot better imo.
