Swapping what? Motor and trans, just the trans, wheels? Need to be more specific. If you do an engine swap, swap everything with it. Intake, dist, everything. The engine bays are the same, so everything will go in no problem. |

The ECMs won't be the same. The '96 has more sensors and it's OBDII. Having the whole donor car would extremely help. Here is a tutorial on auto to manual swap to give you an idea of what you're up against: http://www.teamswift.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=52368&hilit=automatic+to+manual |

A complete donor car is the key to success. You probably will have to drill a hole for the tranny mount and the clutch cable. All the rest should bolt in. It will take a lot of time there is a lot to change. I went from a 4/5 to a 3/5 in a 95 sedan with a complete donor car. |

It's major surgery, but it has been done. |
