Hey all, my friend has a 95 2.2L automatic.......270,000KMs on her......well we found a bought a brand new 2.2 from a 97, ZERO KMs on it, still has the factory oil filter with the J on it......$100, and came with the tranny(Auto) exhaust, gas lines, brake lines, Drivetrain, Computer.....pretty much everything. His car is OBD1, and this motor is from a 97 test car, so me and him are both wondering, will the engine go in flawless? Or what is going to need swapping or changing to get it in and working. Cant wait to hear this brand new motor in his car, its going to sound nice........the guy pulled it in 2000 and its been sitting since in a barn and he had all that @!#$ and just wanted to clear his barn out of everything so he pretty much gave it away............someone hopefully can help here, we want to put it in asap just need to know whats involved. thank you whoever can help!

if you have to swap the ecu you will have to repin it i believe. the connectors from the 95 and 97 may not be the same. worse comes to worse, swap EVERYTHING over.

I think they're almost identical... don't quote me on that. (The Engines)

I know my 95 2.2 has an oil level sensor in the oil pan... does that 97? If not.. swap the pan... as for the rest I'm not 100% certain.

I'd rather throw a 2.3 H.O with an NVG into that 1995 tho!
