Keep in mind that the engine must be same model year or newer than the body it's going into. That limits you to 04 and 05 wagons.

Being a Diesel guy, the CDI has much more appeal to me. Yes the wagon is cool, and I even thought I might keep it a gasser for a while until I know for sure the swap can be done. If I find out that the swap can't be done, I will just pull the parts from the gasser and fix the CDI.
If I end up pulling the air bags and controller from the parts car, how much of a job will that be? I do know that both batteries in both cars will need to be disconnected, and then the components can be removed. However, I would need to know (and follow) the exact procedure for installing everything safely. I just don't know what that procedure is.
As far as purchasing a wagon, I have plenty of funds to do so. The insurance company has been very fair in compensating me for my loss. Buying the car back was a bargain as well.
