Good evening. I would greatly appreciate a little insight into the swap that I am planning on.
I currently have a 2000 Extended Cab 3.0L 4speed auto 2WD with a bad motor but a good body and interior. I also have a 1995 Extended Cab 2.3L 5speed manual 2wd with a good drive train but rough body and interior.
My plan is to swap the good 2.3 drivetrain into the 2000 truck. I already know that the 2.3 wont mate to the auto trans, which is fine. I understand so far that I will need to use the motor mounts, trans, wiring harness, and ECM from the 2.3.
Does anyone know of any other things that I will need for the swap that cannot be pulled from from the 1995 truck? The 2000 came with a one piece driveshaft which I would prefer to use over the two piece that is in the '95. I would like to know if this is possible or if the splines will even line up.
Thank you for any help/info you can give!
