Unhappy DOHC swap need help

So i already read the thread about swaping from SOHC to DOHC but i need a little more info. Iam leaving in the morning to pick up my DOHC motor, what do i need to take with it? It is coming out of a complete 1997 car and going into a 1995. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Passenger side engine mount bracket. Woudl nto worry about the 97 harness, unless you are using it for spare parts. 95 wiring does nto mesh with any other year. 97 pcm is worthless to your 95.

well your either going to need a pcm from a 95 DOHC... or your going to need the harness and pcm from the 97 dohc to go with the engine... your also going to need the power steering reservoir which most likely is still attached to the engine but make sure it still is cause the sohc reservoir... also make sure your either get the stock exhaust manifold for the dohc or your going to have to buy a header for the dohc engine the sohc stock exhaust manifold will not interchange but the rest of the exhaust and pretty much every thing else will swap right out...

97 pcm or harness will not work in a 95 neon anywhere. The connections under the hood that run throughout the dash are not compatible at all. You will have to completely rewire the car, and that is still not a guranteed fix, as the sensors have different connectors.
