Ive got a bit of a problem with my engine in the sense that its knocking. As I cant afford to get it fixed at the mo im planning on whipping it out and replacing it with the one from my scrapper.
The question is: What do I need to swap over? Just the engine or engine and ecu?
Any help and advice will be much appreciated as I have only ever helped swap one engine over and that was in a Nissan 200SX.

I would swap the ECU too to be sure, its easy enough I think! (the ECU swap not the engine swap)
Are the cars both from the same year etc?

assuming both are similar age ( well said Dobbie ! ) the engine alone will be all thats required in the swop Steve.
