Answer
Hi Allan:

The engine will interchange as far as the size of the engine but that is as far as it goes. The 95 is an OBD 1 engine the 97 is an OBD II engine all the electronics are different which means the engine wire harness and engine computer are different as well. So unless you have a donor car to switch all the parts you need this is not really feasible. Good luck :)
