First the 94 is OBD 1 96 is OBD 2 big prob. If it were me I would go with a moter from a car just like yours. any thing can be done but at what cost?

posts moved to correct forum. Don't post in DIY forum.

JoeC said it all. Too many matching used parts available to install and create additional work and problems.

good luck

yes it can be swapped with little modifications. If the 96 engine and trans are obd2 (most likely it will be) you will need a obd2 to obd1 conversion harness and retain your obd1 ecu if your swapping the same engine. Since your 94 is obd1.

Now are we talking about auto or 5 speed trans?? Also need to know if your 94 is a f22b1 or f22b2? Also need to know the same for the 96 engine.

if we are talking about a auto obd2 trans I'm not sure how that works if you are running on a obd1 system. I think you have to use a obd1 trans. But it's a 5speed trans this there is no issue. It's all computer related with the auto trans. You can't run a obd2 auto trans on a obd1 set up. Even with the trans I BELIVE. Not 100% sure tho something that might need some research.

Maybe not OBD-1 vs. OBD-2. But rather, beginning in 1998 the auto-trans was controlled more completely by the PCM, there is no longer any physical cable from throttle to trans, more shifting logic is done in PCM rather than valves & fluidics, etc. etc...

that's what I siad to use a obd1 trans if it's a auto. I don't think a obd2 trans will work on a obd1 system. I know the obd1 vs obd2 auto trans work little diffrently. Unless you can use a obd2 TCU on a obd1 ecu. I'm not all so sure on that tho. research would be in order to figgure that out...

It's all computer related with the auto trans. You can't run a obd2 auto trans on a obd1 set up.96 engine and trans are obd2 (most likely it will be) you will need a obd2 to obd1 conversion harness and retain your obd1 ecu if your swapping the same engine.
