the two engines are

basically interchangable but i am not sure if all years apply. if your car is the same year as the donor engine you are prob in good shape. the best scenario is if you buy a complete car for the donor motor. one that you can start and drive. then change over all parts that differ. this includes (i think) rad, engine, tranny, speedo, and rear end. while at it you may as well change the driveshaft too.
