Ummm, Im with Crashes. Ur going to need the motor, trans, mounts, wireharness, PCM, Cluster. And a hell of alot of re-wiring. From what I have been told this is a harder swap to do in a 95-99 then you would think. Goodluck buddy.

basically, you'd need an 03-05 car. intact. then, take every single part that isn't the unibody off your 96, and replace it with every single part from the donor that isn't the unibody. EVERYTHING. basically, strip both cars down to shells, then put all the parts from the eco powered car on the 96 body.

and yes, i am serious.

You can not go to college and still be mechanic.
