engine swap

[Lazyike]

Will a 2.3l out of a 1993 swap over to a 1996 with a 2.3l with out changing over much? Both have the 5 spd trans and I was going to swap the engine a trans complete.

======================================
I've been told NO!

89-94 same and then 95-97 are same.............

Where are you located, as I have a 95 2.3L for sale?

I am in Iowa. My son has the 1993 and the left frame rail is rusted through half way across. I found a 96 with a bag engine and thought I might be able to swap his engine to that truck.

The probelm would be going from OBD1 to OBD2, alot more wiring on the '96... Someone else will probably pop in and give you more detail...

I'm able to put it on a pallet & ship it to a business address via R&L if your interested.....

I will keep your engine in mind, I have a buddy that is good with a welder and I am going to have him look at the frame Monday. The top 2/3 is good yet so, we might be able to weld a plate inside the rail to reinforce for now. What part of Tennessee are you from? My folks retired and moved to Dover on Lake Barkeley.
