Default engine swap gen1 to gen2

Help! I have a 96 neon with the SOHC and auto, my son ran it out of oil and blew the engine. I found an engine/trans out of a 2000. Does anyone know if i can use this combo. Any guidance would be appreciated!

You would have to change the motor mounts and more likely to change the ECU, maybe the axel.

It will swap, but if the tranny is an auto 4-speed, then you can't use it. Most of the sensors should fit the harness but you may have to cut and splice some wires together. It would be easier to use a 97-99 engine.
