    If you had truly looked, you would have seen a entire forum dedicated to engine swaps. Not only should this thread be there but asking this question will surely get you flamed. You need to search before asking stuff especially that question because it's been asked over and over and over and over.

    92, might be a slight hassle since it's OBD-1.
