OK so my DD is an 89 22re 5spd, I wrecked it a week ago and found a super clean 88 sr5 3.0 Automatic for 200 bucks, last time in the road was in 2003. The top half of the 3.0 is gone :sniper: , I am taking all powertrain out of my 89 and putting it in the 88.
Questions are as follows

1. Will the motor mounts in the 88 work or do i need to cut and weld in new ones?
2. i know all wiring on the engine side needs to come out of the 88 along with the ecu, Does anymore wiring need to come out?
3.will interior dash on the 88 work with the 89 since one it auto and the other is manual?

Im sure im forgetting some questions but ill post randomly as i remember them.

DOnt know much about the questions but in about a month i will have a spare topend for a 3.0. Im swapping out my engine for one with less miles
 
I appreciate the offer but im not sure the status of the motor or am i big fan of it. i had one and it was terrible compared to my RE.
 
Why not take what's left of the 3.0 out and install a 3.4?

I dont have the money for a 3.4 and i have everything needed for my 22re.
My wrecked one
