    Not a direct fit.

    Not sure what custom stuff needs to be done, but it has been done many times.

    Check out motorswap.org, brianteel would have plenty of info on this if he's still around. Search for his threads/posts.

    I'm swapping a prochard l32 and 65ehd trans into my 95 cutlass..it's pretty straight forward but you need some things from a 98/99 lumina ltz..that is the only Gen 1.5 that had a l36 in it so you need wire harnass, power steering lines, down pipe, pcm and obd2 parts as a 95 is obd 1.5, axle, and a few on terror parts but it's pretty straight forward..

    Damn, if it takes terror parts, maybe just getting another car would be easier, lol. They're easily had for under $2k, under $1k if engine/trans problems, then you have everything you need and it's just a matter of swapping a motor or trans.
