i want to put the 97 motor in the 95
then i believe yes, you need to swap engine, wiring, trans, cluster, i.e. everything. i may be wrong, and if i am, someone should correct me.

nope motors are interchangeable, just need to swap over some sensors from the 95( I just put a 97 motor in my 95). trans will require wire harness & ecu swap, cluster is just plug and play no mods to wiring required
ok cool is there like a right up on what sensors or a walk through or something cause i want to get it done right the first time and i really dont trust on takin it in to have it done
If I remember right none of the 97 sensors will fit the 95 harness(knock-oil pressure, ignition module) I just sat the motors side by side removed all the 97 stuff then put on all the 95 stuff. also you may have to switch oil pans my 95 had a oil level sensor that the 97 pan did not have a provision for.
ok cool im gunna start pullin @!#$ in a week or so how long it take u to do the swap , a weekend?
about 8 hours total 97 motor was already pulled
