Ok guys so I have a 1997 hardbody automatic with a FRESH KA24e. The trans is blown. I also have an identical 1993 hardbody 5 speed with the ka24e aswell but it has a blown motor. My question is what would it take to put the fresh motor out of the 97 into the 93? I'm not familiar with what I hear is obdI and obdII. Or would it be a better idea to 5 speed swap the 97 or if it's even possible with those years idk.. Please help!! Haha thank you everyone.

I did a little deeper digging and hear that all I have to do is put the old intake, timing chain cover, fuel rail, and dizzy on the 97 motor and all is great after hooking everything back up. Can anyone back this up?

Not sure on the OBDI to OBDII compatibility but you'll also need to swap flywheels.
