Why put a First generation engine in a Third generation? You can get a Series II for a whole lot less $$$$ than it would to convert it to a lower life form!
To stop the MADDNESS!!! I will offer my engine connections at cost so you can get the engine replacement for as cheap as possible DONT SWAP A 91 INTO A 97.
Where are you located?
Sorry it is just a big mistake.

the engine is seized in it, it was an older woman who never took care of it, the guy said that the tranny and everything is great, I offered her 2500 for the body of the car and she said she would consider it. So now i have to start looking at options. I would like to put my bonne engine in it cause i already have it and dont have to pay for another one, but if someone can get me a good deal on an engine. I may reconsider. its a beautiful car . leather and all

My guess is a spun bearing or two!
I bet you could get away with a partial rebuild if there isn't too many miles (KM'*) on the engine!
