Could anyone comment on > the feasibilty of this course of action? Thank you. Depends.. If the '92 is a long block 2.3 or 2.0 - it is probably not very straight forward. My understanding is that the post '94 5 speed transmissions are *not* a direct bolt up to most previous years - but - I could very well be wrong. You are on the right trail regarding keeping the year and model engine in the 1995 - as it is nearly impossible to change engines across model versions without major electrical surgery. Most folks in your brothers spot simply look for a rear-ended wreak that will match-up VIN wise - grab the whole power train from the hubs in and keep the old engine as a spare for later. -- Radio Free Dexterdyne Top Tune o'be-do-da-day Stray Cats - Memphis http://www.dexterdyne.org/888/078.RAM all tunes - no cookies no subscription no weather no ads no news no phone in - RealAudio 8+ Required - all the Time
