Engine swap for tired Shadow
I currently own a 1992 dodge shadow, 2 door, standard, 2.2 litre 4 banger. I want to swap out the engine (mainly because the head gasket is going, and extremely high milage) with a 2.2 litre turbo engine from a 1991 lebaron. I was curious of what problems i might encounter, and mor specifically, if the engine from the lebaron(with auto tranny) will fit onto the manual tranny from my shadow. I also have the entire engine cradle from the lebaron, computer, wiring harnesses, & headers. Please help,I Want a better, badder, shadow to show up my friends and their little civics. Thanks.

However, I'm pretty sure the transmission will bolt up.
