From ST zero to GT hero!, Can i carry any components from my 1.8 to my 2.2? Options

[LAcelica94St]

Sup fellow 6G enthusiests, i need help.
My project is this: I have a 94 st and I would love to fix it. My car has tons of milage, dents and dings and scratches all over the place and even
a knocking sound that seems to come from the top of the engine. I dont really mind the blemishes, but the knocking sound is what drives me crazy.

Anyways, what i want to do is swap my old engine out, for this other one i got from my old job when i was a parts delivery guy.
Now i have a 5s-fe sitting on blocks, and i want to give it a home under my hood.
Can anyone tell me what, if anything, i can carry over from my 1.8 to my 2.2 (i.e.- transmission?)? plus im on a budget.. . . any tips, advise, or info would
be appreciated.

Thanks Fellas!

i can get the trans for cheap, the mounts are cheap too i believe. but the wire harness might be my biggest (maybe expensive) obstacle. plus the ecu. . . can i use or add an after market component to my already existing one??? a buddy told me, something about an attachment that goes with my ecu just to control the air and fuel mix. . . is this true???
i thought i would find most of my solutions at a junk, or salvage yard of something, what do you think?


2.2 anyone?
