into a box to scrounge parts from later on. Dx/Ex/Lx doesn't always matter
unless they had different engines.

As a general rule, most people don't buy a car that doesn't run well.....
unless it's dirt cheap. Any swapped car should come with documentation
to tell you what you have........or be dirt cheap.

Or start fixing stuff that is not the engine, until everything else works, and then
make the engine work.-Bob
