Hello so currently I am thinking about purchasing a blown engine LE in hopes to A. Swap in a new engine or B. Take what I need/want from the LE into a DX (because it is already glammed up). If it is option B I can pull most of it from junked LE's vs buying a new/used car. Semi curious if this applies to Geo Prism electronics being able to be ported to DX.
To explain the, DX is missing key some features that are mainly for convenience but I was wondering if it would be cheaper to just manually swap in the TAC, Overdrive shifter, Cruise, electric door controls/mirrors and if they are all generally plugged and play kinda deal like how on newer cars generally the features are just not plugged in. I don't mess with engines to much so it would take me longer to convert if it comes to some are plug and play and maybe a few splicing since I am more comfortable with electronics. That being said If it's a dumb question or I should do an engine swap let me know.
As far as I have been able to search up the Tac/Dashboard is a direct swap and will work no issues.
Honestly this would just be a fun thing I do with my GF to get her a little invested in the car to further her interest in cars.
Thanks yall!
